Pretty much describes my approach to new music too. Sometimes I make the mistake of getting far too much of the stuff as well and not really having the time for a lot of it before I get even more stuff as well.
Anyway, my journeys on the seven seas of musical piracy of late...
These last few months I've been getting into a lot of electronic music beyond all the trip-hop and chillout I'd usually listen to before. I started with big beat, IDM and progressive house, which basically entails Leftfield, Stendeck, Overseer, Junkie XL, DJ Hyper, Groove Armada, the Freestylers and many many others. As of this last week or so I've been taking that a step further and delving into drum 'n' bass/jungle, particularly Goldie and Kosheen (who kinda combine it with trip-hop and sound immensely cool as a result).
Other than that, it's been more of the usual - Elvis Costello, Nick Cave, the Pogues, Midnight Oil etc. David Bowie as well, but that's been because I've re-discovered all my old bootlegs.
Might go on another reggae/dub binge next. Haven't done that for quite a while now.
