Adventures in Audiophilia
Oct. 25th, 2005 12:23 pmI'm an audiophile. I admit it. I've filled up my 20G iPod with a little more than half of my CDs, and I'm still acquiring far too many. Will it never end? I doubt it. So here's what I've been listening to lately.
( Prog Rock )
( Emiliana Torrini )
( Angel )
Everything I listen to makes me want to listen to more. I'm being very deliberate about the albums I buy, trying to educate myself. And don't even get me started on the ongoing exploration of soundtrack composers. Above and beyond the cost of purchasing all this stuff, is the time investment. It takes a lot of hours of listening to really get to know an album, and that's what I want to do: really get to know and to like this stuff. I haven't even had time to properly listen to Vertical Horizon lately, or the many albums I bought in the past but only listened to once (like all the Duncan Sheik and Swing Out Sister I seem to own). It's exciting to find new works I enjoy, but it's frustrating too.
