Losing Touch

You know sometimes I feel that I have lost touch with why I have been into audio/music since the 70's. I have been sitting at my computer this morning doing a bunch of nothing when I opened up Tidal and started cruising the "Masters" listings. I have The Cars "Candy-O" playing right now through my Audioengine 5+ and sub. Damn what fun. Do I have it playing too loud? Yup. The MUSIC is wonderful. The quality is great. Isn't this what it is all about? Getting into it fully. "Candy-O I need you so." Had to share. Have a good listen.

Because Music is hard-wired in humans, audio can be a more compelling 
hobby than stamps or model trains .
Many of us have self -induced OCD.

Thanks for reminding me how much I like the Cars.  I'm having serious flashbacks!

I never stopped listening to The Cars, or Ric's solo stuff (which I prefer to The Cars stuff).  Exploring for new music has been an obsession of mine, even at the ripe old age of 57.  Internet radio has been a huge help in this.  I have recently discovered many new bands and singers, especially a lot of good, if obscure, EDM and Electronica.  If you like The Cars, you might like a lot of the newer Electronica, which has its roots in 80's synth rock.

To paraphrase an old F. Zappa album:

Shut Up and Play Your Music. ;)

Too often we get caught up in the pursuit of 'perfection' in the stack, the space, or the medium we play upon and in it.  It's good to take that break, pour that libation, sit down, and volume to 8.5+.  Theoretically that's why you started on the path and why you're Here Now. *G*

ENJOY...even if you still think it's got warts. *nudge*
