Pop has been SO BAD recently, that I...

Does anyone have a more shameful confession?

my shame

[fathands.livejournal.com]

I've grown to enjoy the credit music for Gilmore Girls, despite it being terribly MOR filth.

You need to let Neil Young grow on you for a good few years before you appreciate it, I think.

Neil Young = like the mould on a fine Roquefort?

I am imagining a wheel of Roquefort with Young's froggy face poking out.

can pop ever be an acquired taste?

(ans = NO until YES)

Better question, maybe: can pop ever be a taste you work hard to acquire?

Oh, I dunno, I never really had to grow into Neil Young - though I only ever listen to Harvest and Harvest Moon.

In fact I had a moment last year where I felt I couldn't go another day without listening to Harvest but the CD was wherever my brother was so I had to go out and buy it.

I had after the gold rush for a year before I decided I liked it. I think I played it once and relegated it to the shelf before coming back to it later

If I relegate records I don't tend to come back to them - my usual thing is listen once, maybe another time, and then if something turns up either in my head or is played near me and I think both 'oh i know this' and 'oh i like this' I'll go back to it.

yeh, on the whole if something doesn't take immediately it won't get another chance, but sometimes I feel guilty about this and grant a second chance, and sometimes by this point I am more receptive.
