The "new" music I listen to are typically from bands that were formed in the early 90s. One day my bro told me that I should try to listen to Fox as much as possible to "stay young." So many of these new bands put out fabricated music and they are just not worth listening to. I find myself tunning in 101.1 Classic Rock more and more often now.

I felt like a proud mama!). Anyhow. Music. Yes. Love it, love it, love it. As a bit of a loner (by choice now - I've had my day), music is my best friend. But it always has been and I've also passed that along to my kids (apparently). You may have heard this story before (because I tell it everywhere), but one of my children's first "encounters" with the music of MG was back in 1997. They were young and their father gave them twenty bucks to get me a birthday present. They asked what I wanted, to which I replied, "Beautiful Midnight", which I didn't have yet. "What's that?" my daughter asked. So they'd bought me the CD and one day they came in when it was on and said, "ew Mom, what are you listening to?". I told them it was the CD they'd bought me...their reply - "well he SUCKS!". And then (no word of a lie) they told me to put Hanson back on!!! To this day, we laugh about this. They're probably bigger Matt fans (no they're not) than I am. Anyhow, I INSTANTLY know when I love a song/artist. I get shivers and automatically transported to another place, that's not of this world. Champions Of Nothing was the last song to do that for me. I don't listen to the radio and am not "up" on the latest sounds, except what my daughter passes along (how the tides have turned!). One of those being Rilo Kiley (she has good taste). I enjoyed this post and said way too much (again).

I agree. It should trigger thoughts, memories and feelings. But shouldn’t we be listening to new music to trigger new memories. The music from our past can never be replaced and will have a special part as it has stood the test of time but what about all of the new and up and coming music that is relevant to today. You can’t say you don’t like broccoli because you have tried other green vegetables so you assume you won’t like this either. And yes, there is a lot of over produced, cookie cutter pop out there that is spoon feed to us by radio stations and music channels that play the same damn song twenty times a day. On the other hand there is also a ton of good music out there and also a million different ways to listen and discover new music. There are a ton of online radio stations that provide all sorts of good quality music including new artists from all over the world. And who cares if bands have a “The” in front of them. They are either good or band and once you listen to the music the name should really only be a bonus. Woxy.com (I think it’s based out of the Midwest USA) Sonic radio based out of Edmonton as well as the Zone in Victoria are great places to pick up new music as well. Also – Aritzia’s culture section of their website usually has good suggestions for music Beruit Those Dancing Days Crystal Castles Vampire Weekend The Juno Soundtrack Mother Mother The Organ The National Peter Bjorn and John Clap your hands and say Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeahs Zero 7 Tilly and the wall Tom Vek Spoon You can’t treat music like it’s your highschool boyfriend. You will always feel a certain nostalgia for them because they were your “first” whatever, love, boyfriend etc and they will always hold a place in your heart BUT there is so much more out there. And yes, there will be a lot of jerks, or untalented slags singing their hearts out along the way. Ignore them. There is good for every bad.

I to am not a big listener of the new tunes. The modern artists I listened to have been around for at least a decade as well... I'm defiantly a classic rock kind of girl though... The 60's and 70's are my favorite musical eras... I swear I should have been born in those times! I don't even own a CD player. Other than my computer, my main source of music is the record player I got for Christmas two years ago... I've got some Fleetwood Mac spinning in it as we speak. "what I still love most about music, is that when it’s good, it ignites something inside of me" I think that is something very important. I to need music that moves and inspires me, and mainstream music these days just seems to be lacking in the ability to do so. I understand where you’re at on this one Keira.

Every time I flick to it, which isnt often, it's usually flicked back to TLC or Discovery channel fairly fast. I miss the old days...

Buzz and Dave were the hosts and I remember watching it religiously on Friday nights in my best friend's basement - days of sneaking rum and coke and cheeseballs while getting a groove on to the cool "alternative" bands - honestly, those are the best memories I have of high school - New Order, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure, The Jam, English Beat etc. etc.......(there was no Much Music at that time, I believe) I too share your sentiment with respect to "new music" these days - it all sounds the same to me and I wouldn't remember one song from the next - occasionally there's a gem to be found - but the classics are the way to go - timeless and meaningful - I've often expressed my opinion that music is the truest form of expression in the world - there are things/feelings/words that can be expressed with music that could never be expressed in everyday life. When I play my bass I feel truly alive and transported to another world - a world where there is only good - and a world free of worry and stress. I'm ranting a bit but I appreciate and share your sentiment and miss the good old days of "Soundproof" :) Too bad you are too young to have discovered “Soundproof” which was on Shaw in the early-late ’80’s.
