"I'm goin' way down south to Baton Rouge, tonight"
As we are closing out the year soon, I am listening to some favorite Holiday tunes and a lot of new Holiday tunes that I find are very good. Discovering new music is like reading a new book for me. I always end up feeling enlightened, having a refreshed outlook on things in general. I am captivated with new things that are done with our old notes.
How are you exposed to new music? Sometimes I listen to local (or even not so local) radio stations, although I find that many top 40’s type stations cover an all-encompassed package of genre and I am not that much interested in every little thing.
When I was a tween/teen we would go to someone’s house on rotation and take one album and we would listen to the albums that were brought and just be kids, dance whatever. This is why as lot of my albums today have my name on them lol. This greatly widened my interests in music in I had never heard.
I often browse through a local CD shop nearby that has a great catalogue. And then there is another vinyl album shop nearby that has some of the most sought after and the newest trending albums. I learn a lot from browsing these local shops.
I do pay attention to what the 30ish year-olds play on the stations in the car. That exposes me to a lot, especially on long car rides. I like a lot of it. I’ve even gone to many concerts at amphitheaters to hear artists that I have grown to love because of being exposed to music that others like. I also have purchased albums from various artists for family teenagers. I like some of that.
In general, I find myself constantly chasing a better understanding on lots of things, and because of that I learn about things that very much pique my interest. One recent example, I learned that Justin Bieber is married to the Granddaughter of Brazilian songwriter and musician Eumir Deodato, which is solidly in my lane. You never know.
