As I sit in my Brooklyn apartment staring out the window into the greyness counting the minutes until I can have my next cigarette and cursing myself for not being able to find my zippo, I notice how my musical tastes change with the weather. No more than a few weeks ago I was listening to the upbeat sounds of the summer, rocking my personal classics like ATDI and Deftones and looking into new sounds like Moving Units and MGMT. I can already feel another musical lul right around the corner hiding in the shadows, waiting patiently to spring and and say "YOU ARE NOW BORED WITH ALL OF YOUR MUSIC!" as I start to notice myself regressing to my older punkier tastes like Television, Wire and Talking Heads. All of the above mentioned is a definite sign I've seen all too many times indicating that my ipod will be stuck on 3 to 4 bands for a few months as I get through the cold, greyness of new york.
CMJ is going on right now but I am unable to motivate myself to look through the copius bands on the website to filter the ones I may want to see, then actually make the journey into the city to see them, I don't know what's wrong with me. Is music unable to inspire me anymore? Why is there this huge missing piece of my life I used to embrace as much as breathing? Where are all the new bands I've been wanting to check out? What should I be listening to? Why am I asking rhetorical questions?
Blarg. I'm going to smoke.

Holy crap, it's Daniel.
First of all...how are you?!
Second of all, what are you doing in NYC? Aside from smoking and breaking hearts :)
Sometimes, even music freaks like us reach the point you describe. I know it comes and goes for me. Its mild version is "I don't like an new bands, meh meh meh, they sound boring" and its heavier is not knowing what to listen to, not wanting to bother with anything etc.
All of us, who are true music lovers, sooner or later we return to the scene of the crime, with a deus ex musica. And it's good. Oh yes, it's good :)

Changed my plans back in the summer and decided to haunt the UK... I'm currently living in Leeds, trying to find a job in London. Invading the British and all that :)
