I've surely got favorites that I've listened to hundreds of times. I can't give exact numbers, 'cause I'm nowhere near that organized. But, I'm sure the ones I've listened to for many years have gotten into the hundreds. Heck, I may be nearing a thousand for some of them.

What happens with me is I'll listen to something for a time, get it a bit played out then put it aside. Then, a few months or years later, it sounds good all over again.

What I tend to neglect are the things that fallin the cracks. I either want to hear something new and look for something that just came out, or I reach for an old favorite. The ones that I miss within a year or three can fall by the cracks.

I was thinking about this just last night as I happened to pick up an album from 2001, Dusted: When We Were Young. I missed this one the first time around, but I have to say it was one of the best listens I've had in a while, if you like sorta electronic ambient stuff with interesting beats woven in and out of it.

Oh yeah, and until I goit some packages in the mail recently, I had about 3 months or so where I couldn't buy anything. It did indeed force me to get more entrenched with a few things that I picked up but only listened to briefly. I really think there is more good music coming out all the time than one person can resonably listen to. Sometimes, you just gotta grab what catches your fancy and enjoy without worrying about the stuff you may miss.
