Where I'm At...

This thread is something That I intend to be a a journal of sorts for people to use to communicate, at length hopefully, about where they are in their musical journey in a very open and holistic way. In a way, almost like a shared journal.

I think we see snippets of members musical tastes in threads such as "Albums you're Digging" and in the various sub-forums, but I know in my case, my tastes in music are always doing crazy, wonderful, and self-contradictory things. I think this would be a better way to get a broader more macroscopic picture of where people are at musically at any given moment, that is if no one's afraid to write.

Jazz is always my great love and one I will always return to, but i overdose on it regularly and need to explore other avenues. The same could be said about reggae and hip-hop to a lesser degree.

I've been exploring Post-rock little by little lately, and for a genre that I always ridiculed as being avante garde repackaged for the post-emo scene, I find that I'm liking it quite a bit. Especially Lymbyc Systym's Carved by Glaciers album

On the other side of things, I've been getting into some classic country and western swing. More notably the brilliant guitar work of Chet Atkins.

That's just a taste from me. The reality is much more complex. What's been going on with your musical pursuits?
