I'm not one to flaunt my likes and dislikes about music in real life or online, too much. No, really. I am actually fairly private about what music I listen to or what books I read, even as there are times when I'll engage in an occasional conversation about either. There's only one other place I talk music online, and I feel comfortable doing that because it quickly gets lost in the shuffle of a lot of other, non-music information.
The upside of opening up to someone about what I do like and listen to, and perhaps following up with suggestions on what might good to listen to, is that they'll invariably come back with suggestions of their own and I get to find out about songs and groups that I otherwise would have been oblivious about. They're usually pretty decent suggestions, too.
Once in a while, though, I'll get sent something that makes me equally delighted at not having missed out on it and peeved that I didn't know about it until then. So, over the next couple of the weeks, I figured I'd do a random sampling of songs from the various people who've pretty consistently come up with something in the 'damn I wish I'd known about this earlier myself' category.
This first one is from over a year ago, I think (?) but it still makes me smile every time I listen to it.
