I hate to face it, but I think I'm starting to feel my latest epic reggae phase slipping a bit.For roughly about the last 8 months I have literally listened to nothing but reggae. I realize that might not be so 'epic' to some of you, but anyway. It's not my esteem for the music that's changed at all, of course, just my interest/excitement level.
I mean I've loved reggae for about 20 years or so, but I've gone through occasional dry spells of not listening to it much. I'll suddenly get really into jazz or punk or indie (hate that term but don't know what else to call it) or classical, folk or even, at one point, country (!). And just occasionally throw on some reggae.
I tend to be obsessive like that. Like I just listen to one genre at a time constantly until my attention starts to inexplicably wander and I'm on to the next thing. It's like a cycle of some sort. It's really weird this time because I've been so into the stuff I've been listening to I can't figure out why my interest is suddenly starting to wane a little.
Out of nowhere the other night I started listening to my old New Order records and that was the start of it...
So, I wonder, are you able to mix up genres a lot day to day? Do you only listen to reggae? Or, do you sort of cycle through various phases of obsession with one thing, like me? Or something else?
Does it matter?
