The thing with music

The thing with music is that it's really exciting when you find a new band you like. The first time you hear a song by a new band you might decide that you kind of like it. The second you are starting to learn the song and have probably made a final decision. But the third through about ninth time you hear that wonderful new song will be among the best moments of your life, and when it is over you will want to start it over again. (And if no one is around, and you've disabled Last.fm, you just might!)

But beware! After eight or nine listens in the first week, the song may begin to lose its luster, and you may end up getting disappointed in modern music, and after finding out that this wonderful new band has now been declared "Band of the Millenium" by Pitchfork media, you may just end up sulking and listening to Belle and Sebastian for the next two months.
