Music holds the same value to me as it always hasheadphones on in a dimly lit room at night masturbating furiously listening to something that sends shivers down your spine at how complex and beautiful it is, can't beat it, worth every penny.
I think music does more than a still image or a film ever can because it provides more room for your imagination

a bit too bumford and sons for meI've been listening to Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden on loop this evening, still blows me away. Think I might have paid £15 for that in HMV the day it came out, worth 10 times that the number of times I've listened to it since then.

Idlewild are not Bumfucker and Friends!Even when Woomble is going off on one on folk. I even bought the Mumford and Sons album (probably from HMV) and rarely have I been more disappointed by something I was assured was "modern folk" (it's not), "fantastic!" (it's not), "harmonious", "ethereal" and all of that rot. Pah.

absolutelyI like Woomble (Secret is my Silence is a good bit of songwriting), but prefer Kris Drever

That is certainly a very good album :)Probably Patrick Spence is my favourite on there. "Interesting" fact: when you look at who played on that Idlewild track it turns out it was actually the band from the first album, so Drever's on guitar along with Jones and I'd put money on it being cowritten by Drever and McCusker.

Funny you should mention Spirit Of EdenI suddenly thought of it last night for the first time in many years. Probably time to listen to it again I think.

That and Laughing Stock never gets old.I had no idea what to think about either at first, which is usually a good sign to me. That is as powerful as music can possibly get as far as I know.

Fair enough, and I agree to be honestbut it genuinely seems to be less of an importance these days. I tend to only to really have interested in nostalgia from the past. Nothing much interests me that is current
