General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

But I like NEARLY all eras and genres, REALLY :-)

Right now Im jamming Randy Newman Rednecks on my laptop. He is a phenomenal lyricist and composer IMO.

I LOVE and listen to classical and jazz ALL the time too. My laptop is loaded with hundreds of CDs Ive picked up along the way in life. Constantly at thrift stores, mainly to find music. Everyone and their brother is looking to flip ANYTHING nowadays. But the music flows like water. At 50 cents to $2 for LPs and CDs, Im always growing my collection.

Since turning 19 my tastes have grown like mad. I listening to obscure stuff, world music and indie as you cited. Nearly anything. I love to broaden my horizons and not get stuck in a funk of knowing of and liking a narrow area.

Finding Bill Evans jazz for me really opened the Jazz door wide open! Blues and classical followed. Ive now got a huge collection of all the listen to it often. So if I may, I dont feel in lost in "amberism".

I do get where your coming from, but think part of the music industry and artists I mentioned have legitimate merit.

That being said, a WHOLE LOTTA CRAP has come out and things show no signs of tapering that effect. But there is allot of good stuff out there too, if ones willing to look for it.

All the best

Dave
