I may have posted in here sometime in the last 13 years, who knows. So apologies for any duplicate thoughts if they exist.
The most beautiful part about Spotify is the access it has given me to discover music I never had the chance to as a youth in the 90's. Back then, I was lucky to have $15 bucks at any given time and it was usually spent on a CD. All of my limited funds and musical attention went to Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Stretsch Armstronng, The Aquabats, Toad the Wet Sprocket and mother****ing Primus. I didn't have the time or money to dig deep into stuff like Led Zeppelin, the Beatles or the Doors.
Now, thanks to Spotify, I have the luxury of dabbling. I can give a listen to Led Zepp and see how it feels. I can witness the brilliance of the Beatles. I can try out the Doors or Neil Young and decide its not for me. But getting Spotify was like getting God's Ipod.
Here's the problem. Sometimes in dabbling, you fall in a hole that you can't get out of, nor do you want to. I grew up cataloging Pink Floyd in my mind as a heavy metal band. I didn't know any better, and after "dabbling" I have found I rarely listen to anything else. Pink Floyd ****ing RIPS.
Long story short, enjoy Echoes my new favorite song by my new favorite band that has been around for 50 years. Set aside some time, smoke a J (literally or figuratively) and remember, Pink Floyd is NEVER in a hurry to get where they are going.
