What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

I love Four Tet's new one and I plan to purchase it on CD.

I have a question for you Ed. It's not really specific to this one post. I bet that going in you know already that you won't like something. Why do you continue? For me there is so much music out there that I like that I don't think I'll ever listen to it all. So I don't waste time with say, the Black Eyed Peas latest.

Good question, and one which I used to get asked frequently when I was amongst the masses, before my hermit days commenced. I have this commitment issue. Once I start something, I finish it. Same way with books, movies, whatever. I had never heard Four Tet. I saw it out there on my site and remembered someone here mentioned it, so I listened to it from start to finish. I will not go back and listen to any of his previous work, nor will I listen to any future work unless I hear that it is different. In your example of Black Eyed Peas, you already know their work. Although I did not like that current album overall, there are a couple of songs that were ok, so I probably would give them another listen, even though unfortunately that negative bias would be present. So in answer to your question, no I did not know going in that I would not like Four Tet. Can you tell me what you like about it? Understand, I am not asking this to be critical of your answer, but in a sincere effort to understand why people like this. thanks Jon
