I was reflecting on my listening habits over the last 30 years and feel like I’ve not ventured far from a few key albums. They aren’t exactly seminal works, more obscure really. But I’ve settled in nicely with them, so much that they have become almost singular in my focus.
The music I heard during my first acid trips is on perma-repeat and I cycle through those albums in my car, finding no urge to obtain new musical releases - - even though that exploration would be amazing, it’s almost as if I use the music to go back to that time, maybe. So I keep it locked into the tight groove I established between myself and the acid that seared the impressions, music, and visuals all together in my memory.
Anyway, my question is whether you have experienced this, or other forms of repeatability when it comes to the partaking/observation of art, music or film.
For example, my second trip was with 2 tabs, a vcr, and a copy of Up In Smoke. Didn’t move for 10 hours, kept rewinding and playing, laughing, rewinding . . .
I still get cravings to watch that movie and listen to those influential tracks - and when I do, they are no less enjoyable.
On the other hand, when new media comes around, I enjoy it, digest it and move on (ultimately back to my comfy media nest).
New things don’t have the same pull for me.
What is with this, anyone even get what I’m jankily rambling about here? Had this happen?
Or do I just reeeeealy need to get out more?
Thanks
