As always, a good podcast. I never really think about music even tough I listen quite a lot. I used to be one of those people who "listens anything" which is still mostly true, but music with repetitive lyrics/tunes are on my do not listen list. I guess that makes me someone who listens to a lot of different music. It is funny how music is always a valid topic of conversation. Even if you don't have the same taste in music.
Thank you very much speeding_snail, I'm glad you are listening and enjoying them. My wife hates any music that has too much repetition, it can drive her crazy. It's amazing how much pop music is the same hook over and over. I like that music is always a valid topic, I think you can learn a lot about someone based on what it is they listen to and more importantly how it is they view music. A while back Owl posted this crash course in classical music and I knew immediately that he/she would be someone that I would enjoy talking with. I don't know much about classical music but I instantly connected with Owl's passion for it and I understood why it exists. bgood79 made a point that I wasn't able to fit in to the podcast, which is that music is the universal language. You can go anywhere in the world and share music with people and they will understand what it is you are doing and why you are doing it. Conversely, they can share their music with you and it's the same thing. It's the simplest cultural exchange there is and it's very powerful. Thanks again for listening.
Yes, sounds_sound actually pointed me in its direction. It was a fantastic listen. I think it may have been one of the influences for me to start "podcasting". The Gold Standard, them and This American Life imo. That said, insomniasexx definitely helped stoke my appreciation for TAL too.
