Reached the point where so many of my old favorites are no longer releasing new music like they used to and I simply don't know much about the younger bands and musicians. I see all these records with their artwork but I have no idea what lies within.
And then when I find someone that I have interest in, I get into the record store and can't remember their name. I'm not sure if that's a getting older thing on my part or a lack of previous exposure and history? Did I easily recall Neil Young's name forty-five years ago after hearing his After The Goldrush album for the first time?
And radio doesn't assist in the discovery and information process like it once did. Most stations now are news and talk show formats and play little music. And then the stations that play music, mostly play country or Classic Rock. It's primarily becoming a process of randomly stumbling onto new sounds and hoping that they can produce a substantial body of work and become someone worth seeking out.
