I had been searching for that number for years, in the small record shops everywhere. Then I have discoverd KaZa, found the song and downloaded it. Heaven opened...for a time. After running it for about thirty times I got some discomforting feeling, that its a very bad song, stupid lyrics and low quality product. How could I have been so fooled to want it so much. No I am really depri: there are about 10 song I want to have even so badly. Will they turn ugly too when I find them? Must wishes remain unfulfilled to be nice?

I would really like to hear about more good music.

I like the Magnetic Fields and Neutral Milk Hotel
but I have everything they did. Does anyone know about
more music in this general "zone" ?
I also like Oval.

Well, many songs become unlistenable due to radio overplay...in your case, you didn't need the radio.

You were fooled because you overdid it and, possibly, your taste in music has changed.

For the "low quality product" part: For audio, KAZAA mostly finds mp3s. mp3s, nor any file (wav, wma, shn, etc...) can be CD quality and won't in the forseeable future. What mp3s do is that they remove sounds that the human ear supposedly can't detect. Also, most of Kazaa's mp3s are at 128 bi rate, with the maximum being 320. Thats a pretty poor quality mp3. To prove me theory, use headphones, and listen to these three back to back (same song): a 128 kbs, 320 kbs, and from the CD.There is a bit of noticeable difference.

For those 10 other songs you want bad: Instead of downloading one song and exclusively listening to that, why don't do download 4 or 5 songs from that album from the artist. If you like those, go out and buy the record. Chances are, you'll like it. If you only like that 1 song, keep it and ditch the other ones.

It is possible to have too much of a good thing.

EDIT: And while I'm on the subject of Kazaa, use its mirror, kazaa lite instead. You can download it here (http://www.kazaalite.com/). Kazaa lite removes the spyware, so there shouldn't be pop up ads or that young woman advertising web cams anymore. Also, kazaa has software that blocks you from getting mp3s higher than 128kbs. This removes it.

You're still on the same network as Kazaa, just without the extra crap.

And to answer your question...Have you ever read The Great Gatsby? When Jay Gatsby sees the Daisy Buchanan after a shitload of years she's not how he "remembered" her. What happened was through those years he played her up in his mind to be perfect, but unfortunately in reality she was no more than normal and it sort of shattered his perfect perception of her. Maybe that's what happened to you...or maybe your taste in music changed. Either way, the point is that it was a really stupid question, and it was wrong of you to ask it.

Gatsby is my faworite. It is nice to have an obsession. I like Santing's Wonderful World even more than Black's (which I though/think to be an absotop). Nick saw Daisy as stupid (at the end), not Gatsby ( if I remember that wel). Girls uprade with time, you know.


Yes, all these reasons (you all mentioned) matter. But still there can be some out of music reasons for not liking previously favorite song. I was walking through a mall the other day and I heard a highly wanted song coming from a shop. I went in to listen. But the shop was ladies underware and I turned to be the only customer in. I started to browse through the goods a bit but they came to me "to assist". I felt awkward, (an ill-fetish seeker on a prowl?) so I bought something to legitimise myself...Next I found myself standing on the street with a pink shopping bag containing XXXL slogies (a bad omen concernig my future relationships)... I hated the song from then on.

Thanks for the tips about KaZa.

Answer: better music

You can always change genres, and that is usually the solution. Usually, its the lyrics of songs that make me want to puke. So, listen to instrumentals. Get some classical guitar, Jeff Beck, or some organ tunes. Instrumentals are great because you discover something new every time that you listen to them, and you can choose an individual instrument through each song to listen directly to with out any lame lyrics bugging you.

Answer 2: weed

Makes all music good... and sometimes you learn later that you were listening to complete crap. Oh well

Good advice, but not fully applicable in this case. I have this strange capacity of mental and physical conversion into a different person/state when the conditions are right: eg. when a girl I like comes into the room with many people (besides me) and I do not see her initially I am still allerted by a strange feeling some sort of frozen high attention of/to something very unusual happenning (eg UFO landing). The same with the songs from my wanted list. When I hear it some transformation effect takes place. I do not think it has to do with the general quality of the song (e.g. I always have it with Marty Webs "Take That Look of Your Face") --- what I want to say: the music chooses me (thus not the other way round)...

Procop ehh? well you cant prove anything
