I can never take these type of lists seriously - like someone who believes, rightly or wrongly, that they have superior taste to everyone else and therefore they are in a position to dictate what the best music / movie is. 

 

I stockpile music and books to read but do my own research first. 

 

Still, each to their own. 

 

I hope you enjoy the time Bob. Maybe let us know when you find a "gem".

I beg your pardon?

1 movie per day, and 1 album per day. 1000 of each, and go through over the coming month until Christmas. How many days are there left until Christmas?

Im leaving thailand

Im going to watch 1000 movies

Im drunk at noon

 

 

I hope the first is a promise. Regarding the second, you mentioned that was a boring life. Lastly, you shouldn´t drink so much and call others drunkards.

You get everything wrong. The comments refer to Bob.

The prob with other people's bucket lists is that in an attempt to seem well-rounded, they will have a lot of stuff on it that will hold no interest to you.

 

I respect hip hop, I guess. I never want to hear it again. EDM, the same. New Latin music, ditto. No point in forcing myself to endure it.

 

I love reggae. The 2-3 reggae records on such a list will be too mainstream for me. Jazz is an ocean. They will just tell you to listen to Kinda Blue. If that's as far you're going to go into jazz, that's a good one. But if you're not a jazzer or a brit popper, or Metal-head, why bother?

 

When I was young, music critics served a purpose. They might occasionally survey something like African music or minimalism, give you a context, and let you know where you might want to dip in to the genre. These books do the same thing, but much less well. It's shifted from you probably will like it, to you certainly should like it.

 

I read a book called The Long Tail, about how now that every last bit of music is available, that people would have incredibly diverse tastes. But that didn't happen.

 

95% of all reggae searches are still for Bob Marley. When I look on YouTube for reggae minor great, Sylford Walker, he's only up to about 600 views, world-wide.

 

Taste is a funneling process, and by definition, funnels narrow things. Taste is also a distilling process, and when you distill something, you get less of it. As your taste evolves you like less stuff, not more stuff.

Ok, show me the quote in the message I replied to.

When posting like that, and using Im, means you are referring to yourself.
