Does it bother you thinking about all the music out there that you might love but you haven't heard it yet? And might never? i.e., Only by chance I heard Mad Season's "Above" album. It's one of the very best albums I've ever heard.

Yes, yes, I agree. :) I have eclectic tastes in many of the fine arts and with music it seems to be such a 'wheel-of-fortune' type of odds that one comes across something one really loves. As my question mentioned, I was floored by Mad Season's album but by that time, the lead singer had long been dead and they were no longer a group. But I at least have that 'Above' cassette. :) Thanks for answering my question, Chainsaw! +6

Yeah same here, I heard about this group called E Nomine and I'm totally a fan now, but they broke up and have done nothing in like the past two years. Funny how that stuff works out, but I'm still glad for all the good music you can find by chance or if you know how to dig it up, whether it's still going or has been gone for years.

Yes. And I hear new music when others suggest groups with which I'm unfamiliar - - like you just did with E Nomine! Thanks! :) WHOA!! I just saw your invitation! Cool! Thanks and gladly accepted - - and just in case, can you drive a helicopter or plane? As Day of the Dead showed, the pilot was indispensable -- we'd all have to make sure to find a pilot! Ha!

I agree. Some of the bands I like, the only way to find their music is either but it online or to get lucky once in a while and find it at a music store or yard sale used. For example, I found a Pixies DVD called "Pixies Live at the Paradise in Boston" that I had been looking for yesterday. I couldn't pass up the opportunity and I bought it.

You're much more "with it" than I am -- that's a great approach, similar sort of to RadioHeadFan's answer. :) Thanks for answering my question , skluse. I don't ask a lot of questions - - when I do, I like to read everyone's answers.

Thanks for answering my question, RadioHeadFan. I sort of do the same thing you do , though possibly not as regularly as you. That Above album is extraordinary to me, especially in how each song seamlessly flows into the next - - better than any album I've heard, even the 'concept' type albums I've heard. And each song sounds its best only when the album is listened to 'in order' and in its entirety. :)
That's just my possibly bullshitty thoughts, anyway. :)

You are welcome. :) Another album that comes to mind that flows seamlessly is Radiohead's "OK Computer." For example at the end of the song "Airbag" there's a beeping sound that carries over into "Paranoid Android." There are other examples of how great that album is when listened to in it's entirety.

Yeah, I have such a sunny outlook at times. Perhaps I need to focus more on my glass of music being half full as opposed to empty. :) Thanks for answering my question, chexie. +6
