Hey!


If you're going to fry your woo woo, leave me out of it. ;-)

I agree completely that you need to let musical work grow on you and gain a closer fit. There have been plenty of times that a new CD from even a familiar artist hasn't captivated me until after maybe the fifth playing. The latest "Roadrunning" CD from Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris is an example. Individually the performers are amongst my favorites, but it took me perhaps five plays of the CD before I started liking more than one or two tracks. After dozens of plays, I'm enjoying every track for different reasons and at different times and the musical expressions never seem to lose their flavor.

But I will say there are other times when my first impression isn't so good, and it never gets much better. Even after many plays, I just find that Beethoven hack a real waste of time. Okay, maybe not Beethoven, but Rufus Wainwright sorta disappoints, and I'm completely surprised and perturbed by my reaction to his music, which I think I ought to love.
