It seems that I go through these periods where there's nothing for me on the music landscape. When that happens I usually hunker down with my usual suspects and practice my thousand yard stare, looking, or listening as the case may be, at the horizon. And then, when I least expect it, something new pops up and totally takes over. The strange thing is that this seems to happen on a fairly regular interval. So, does that mean that i have a musical equivalent of a sun spot cycle? The difficult part is when the sharing part comes in. I hesitate to tell anyone about my new musical discovery. I keep it hidden away to myself, like a miser hoarding their gold. But there's a reason for that. I think it's a jinx of sorts. If I share said discoveries with friends, something terrible happens. The band breaks up, or worse. Then there's no more new stuff and I'm back to my thousand yard stare. And I definitely prefer the foreground to the background, although, the background seems to always be where it's at...
