musical ruts,.... (soundtrack, jazz, rock, genre, discography)

i've found that i cycle musically,......and sometimes i find myself in a rut,...
i'll listen to the save things over and over until something new catches me,......or i cant stand it anymore,.....
this is 1) driving my friends crazy and 2) sometimes depressing

do y'all do that? and if so what makes you pull outa it

I was in a rut at some point with every band in my top 10.

EDIT-It kinda helped expand my discography with certain artists, because if I like someone I'll do whatever to get everything they have done.

Yeah, I go through that, too.

As for what pulls me out of it...I dunno...it's always something different. Sometimes, it's a an old favorite I haven't heard in a long time...or something by a favorite artist I've overlooked up to that point...or something entirely new that just happens to kind of fall into my lap.

I guess my point is that it'll end pretty damn soon.

You just have to kind of keep yourself open to anything that might come along.

i've also noticed, when i really get into a certian artists, i cant move on until i have everything i can possiblely find that they've ever done

I can be really fickle. I go through phases where I'm all about a particular genre or artist, but I kinda' appreciate that I do that. I mean its your life you get to choose the soundtrack at least.

what phase do y'all feel youre currently in?

SATCHMO · 04-21-2008, 11:29 PM

My great love is Jazz, but that's been on the backburner lately. I've really been diggin on Steely Dan (especially today), Grateful Dead, Tom Waits.....I guess a lot of 70's stuff. I'm also trying to build my appreciation of classical music, but there's not a whole lot that I like.
