I have discovered better music in my 30s and 40s and sort of regret my musical decisions in my teens and 20s.

Music to me is linked to my emotional state and like I’ve matured I’d like to think my music tastes have too…

but then I remember I’ve stopped listening to silly music of Fugazi and replaced it with the artistic stylings of Taylor Swift and I’m right back in my pit of despair knowing my musical sophistication is still out of reach.




Just happened to listen to Steady Diet of Nothing the other day. Maybe the first time in almost 30 years. That music is as good as ever. And could Reclamation be a more relevant song in 2024?


Yeah but none of this music slaps as hard as it did in my 20s. Don't get me wrong I appreciate it the same I'm sure, there's just such a thing as youth and emotion and I wouldn't trade that exploratory musical phase for anything.
