...but it described my relationship with music.

Has anyone else had this experience?
(I'll flesh this out more later if need be)

I don't think I'd want to apply music to my todger, I'd rather snort a line or two of music.
Most bars get you drunk, my dive bars lift you high enough to need a gasmask.

my little head has a one-track ;) mind and gets distracted by music and loses the name of action. :|

Before I had to work full time, I would pretty much listen to music from when I got up to when I went to bed. So yes.

You have a great passion for music, funeral.

For what it's worth, one of the main things I'm referring to is 'the creep' where people start on softer stuff but gradually get drawn further in. While right now I listen to more hip-hop than anything else, there was a point where most of what I listened to was grindcore/pv/thrashcore/etc or noise like Merzbow because most other music wasn't engaging enough to not get bored.

Also, I will spend hours downloading music in such quantities that I barely have time to listen to it all, meaning there's still music on my old hard drive I recovered that I have yet to go through... from over a decade ago. :lol:

Well that and a tendency once I find an artist who I feel comes close to matching the ideal sound I have in my head, I listen to them briefly and then get back to imagining how I would prefer to make stuff sound.

i love discovering things of my era that i didn't hear before. i just discovered that the closing theme to "all in the family" is called "remembering you."

I'm like this too; most of the hip-hop I listen to was released between my early childhood and early 20s; but I stopped paying attention to hip-hop from grade 6 until the end of high school so a lot of it I'm only discovering now. I also didn't bother to dig very deep when I first started rediscovering the genre so a lot of the obscure 90s era releases I come across I'm hearing for the first time.

In high school I mostly listened to metal and punk and industrial, and those genres also have such extensive undergrounds that it's more interesting to dig deeper into the stuff I've missed so far than it is to focus on newer projects unless they're deliberately sounding like they're from another era (like Municipal Waste who are a contemporary band, but I would still call my favourite 80s thrash band despite them not existing in the actual 80s)

Griselda would count too, Benny the Butcher is my age, they weren't seriously releasing stuff back in their 20s although they were recording. The current Griselda and BSF material captures that 'golden age' sound but just slightly updated enough that it you know it's modern (like in terms of slang and ad-libs).

I'm not sure because there's a variety of ways in which someone could approach porn.

Music with chemical lift is fine but it's far better when that lift is cemented to a proper journey. Even better when the musician is doing something visionary, is packing a lot of very precise ideas in the themes behind the musical abstraction, because part of that spike then involves personal epiphany by way of the connections that the musician laid down in their instrumentation and / or lyrics. There's music as well that brings you to tears because it archetypally mugs you. Not to sound fancy, I'm more than happy to get into examples.
