The Pink Moon Problem. In which the singer from The Long Winters spells it out: "There's No Shame In Admitting You're Hearing Something For the First Time"
let's admit though, sometimes you have to, as some might say, 'front'. Especially if you're in the middle of an argument. they: "X track is nothing compared to the legendary Y track!" me: *cues Y track on youtube* "yeah, but it's different from Y track because.."
Right on. Loving music is about discovering music, not about having discovered it all already. Sure, the classic example is the guy who knows all the right bands turning acolytes on to new things, but really, it's about us all turning each other on to new stuff all the time. Shit, that's even how the industry functions, especially now that the labels are no longer the gatekeepers.
I will totally cop to wishing I always knew about ALL the cool stuff, but I'm not sure I'd go so far as lying about it. Goodness knows I checked out a ton of Nick's stuff after that commercial started airing!
