Irene C. sez> <On the other hand, if you come to it later as a newcomer, you may still appreciate its musicality or originality *for its time* but you may never truly live that music or have it engrained into your bloodstream the way you will with music that forms part of your growing and evolving experience. If I had the time, motivation, or words, I'd assert that there are different ways to come to experience music... radio, dancefloor, dub-on-tape-from-friend -- and they're all valid and significant. Is it not possible to come to experience music from the past and still *truly live* the music and have it engrained in your bloodstream? For me, as silly as I think it is, oldschool breakbeat is definitely engrained in my bloodstream, in brain, whatever, and it was old news a long time before I had ever heard any of it. Especially in a culture that recycles stuff, it's never clear when something is dead... it ALL forms part of my growing and evolving experience: the new, the old, _'cause it's all new_ to me, till I listen to it over and over again. Don't choke, k.
