I guess I don't have an INPUT of new music and must have missed all sorts over the years. I know I have because as a session degenerates out come songs that everyone else knows but I don't. (But am only too happy to have missed)
Way back when I used to know what was happening, hear songs, buy albums. I've got a load of independent radio stations preset in the car but I can't listen to rubbish all day in the hope that a gem may pop up. There is so much utter sh! out there on pub thumping music systems etc. I used to swim a lot and heard stuff I thought was specially recorded for pools. Turned out it was Karen Carpenter but new featureless stuff still features in such places. Out and about I only hear crap. Why does anybody buy it? RIP John Peel.
But I don't keep playing the old stuff. The record player sits there silent most of the time now.
