I am not a musician nor a musical critic, imho both HAVE TO know and discover what's going on, so I admit I am not really into new stuff.
I accumulated so much music in 30 years. It's all on the shelves and I know only a part of it, a small part, I mean you don't really 'know' a record after a couple of spins, don't you?
So I don't buy/listen new stuff, I just dig into my collection. For instance I listened to Mozart's Don Giovanni, my dad's heritage, from side one to side six for the first time in my life, and it takes a whole afternoon for that, and I just scratched the surface of it. I don't 'know' Mozart's Don Giovanni, I just listened to it.
I listened to my african music collection lately, looking for the soudtrack of a documentary I edited, well, there were cds I completely forgot I own.
The last new record I bought is 'Groovadelphia', and it's the only one issued in 2008.
