There's too much music in the world, yet it never feels like enough. Like most audiophiles I've been inclined to catalog all I possibly can seemingly worth my while, but this is impossible. You can't give each artist credence you think they deserve, nor find every hidden gem. At some unknown interval, a new batch of artists fade into obscurity, and it won't matter. Makes me wonder if there should be more personal stock in unrepeatable, improvised experiences than stored experiences for repeated use.
I don't fuss about it much now, but the bloat of the stuff of music out there is a bit mindboggling. I'm probably out of the loop with the scenes these days though take the time once in a blue moon to rabidly collect something new.
What's your attitude to collecting music?
This is what pops into my head when I glance at my guitar and feel like there's no point in playing.
