Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?

Just a little clarification on my last post.

Technically, the "demo" CD was actually a "system evaluation" CD.  It was used for judging systems in car audio competition. As system designer/installer, we never knew exactly what cuts the judges would select for system evaluation.  So, we would make sure the customer was familiar with how all the tracks sounded on their system.  A good way to motivate the customer to listen to all the music on the CD.

If your serious about finding new old or new new music my advice would be to get yourself a Roon setup.

Probably shouldn’t but can’t help feeling a little sorry for the guy that just bought his fourteenth pressing of the same old LP.

If you love music and do that’s a big mistake!  Explore new horizons!

If you listened to 60’s and 70’s music you know the reason why. A lack of actual hits!

I'm 51 and I've never been so attuned to new releases as I am now.  Streaming has opened up a huge world to me.

Weekly, I scan album reviews on Pitchfork, NME and The Guardian - it's amazing how often a cracking album gets overlooked by at least one of them.

Also BBC 6Music is a great station for picking up new artists.  Their evening and Sunday scheduling is as good as it gets (I imagine... :-) )
