    And that sucks if you’re an artist who thinks they need forty minutes to make a statement, if you make music that must be listened to forty times to get it. I’ll be honest, in the seventies I came to like so much stuff because of radio repetition. I can’t believe[sic] all of that stuff was great. But today, no one is subjected to that level of repetition.

I remember thinking that I didnt really like music because listening to a new album my friends recommended required multiple forced plays before I could really stomach it. I thought I had some kind of anti music tolerance that prevented me from appreciating tracks as quickly as others.

Turns out I have an eclectic taste, rarely finding an artist who I like enough to listen to several of their tracks. Its more of a pick and mix from all sorts.

I still think I don't really 'get' music as much as others though, I could easily live without it...
