The promised follow-up questions (two of them in fact)

What have you been most right about? (The world may or may not have caught up to you on this)

Does being seen as "wrong" or "right" about music by other people bother you much?

Yes I think a lot of things I used to go on about have become a kind of orthodoxy now, not that I was the first to say them or anything.

Yeppers.

Re: The Shins. Can't stand them anymore, but I went to Flake Music shows in Albuquerque! Do I get a prize? Please? (Though, does that count, or was it just because of locality?)

I have a problem though -- very few new baby bands thrill me. And I live in NYC. I worry for the future. (Maybe I need to go back to Austin. Horrors.)

Or maybe I just need to remain picky.

Anyway, I learned a lesson long ago from someone I admire a long ago. Never defend your taste to anyone. Ergo, I am always "right" and never "wrong" about music. Easier that way.
