a-hard-days-night-ringo-8Have you never had a slice of just out of the oven baked bread with butter? 

My feelings on bootlegged music is its fair game if the music companies aren’t going to put it out but i’d rather pay for the official products (within reason, charging £36 for a download album is ridiculous).  I don’t pay for bootlegs and you’re a mug if you do.

Socks on first then shoes. But only because my shoes are by the door.

For the not-so-young members of the forum: as you age, don’t you find it increasingly difficult to relate to/listen to recently released music? Don’t you find “music for kids” something strange, which has nothing to do with your life, nothing to say to you? Don’t you go back over and over again to the music of your generation?

Good question. I’m 38, and I think everything I listen to nowadays I either listened to when I was a teenager, or would have liked then if it was available (or I had known about it). That’s not to say I don’t listen to new music – I do, but most chart stuff says nothing to me. It’s too often commercial pap with no musical value or emotional reward. Twas ever thus though: if you go back to the 1960s there was some terrible stuff in the charts. It’s about filtering out the bad and keeping the good.

Quite right; it’s about filtering out the bad and keeping the good. But what I think I was referring to was mostly the fact that some of us are getting old (well, at least I am) and we stick to what we know, to the music that moved us when we were young. It’s a problem (confession time), my psychological impossibility to relate to music released after the year 2005. I wonder if that happens to other forum members.

ahdn_paul_06Tell you what, I haven’t listened to any current song since past six months at least, apart from the Beatles and their solos. And I have no idea about the current pop chart.

I have no interest in the modern music scene. I think i’d given up on it around the time Take That became big, i would have been about 13. I really got into The Beatles around that time and everything current faded into the background. I remember listening to a November/December 1994 album chart show rundown on one of the trendy radio stations (Clyde 1) and getting super excited because they played a track from ‘Live At The BBC ‘ (i have the memory of it being ‘I Just Don’t Understand’).

There is the occasional song i’ll hear that perks my ear, tho generally about 3 years after it was first released. I’ve only just heard George Ezra’s ‘Budapest‘ which i like and that was only out in June of this year so that’s not bad going for me.

I know people who’ve been old since they were 20, and some who are still young in their late 60’s. It’s about attitude and how you take care of yourself.

If I spoke prose you'd all find out, I don't know what I talk about.

My opinion is: if it’s in the Top 40, it has no value to me (in most cases). There have been a few things I’ve enjoyed, but even then it’s mostly rock stuff which is rare nowadays. The only modern band I listen to regularly is Tame Impala, and even then, that has a very vintage sound.

God no. I was old when i was about 12. Have always preferred a quiet night in than going out and drinking. Give me a cup of Tetley tea, some nice biscuits, a pair of comfy slippers and a good programme on the the tv or a book to watch and i’ll be happy. Plus all the current stuff bypassed me with ease throughout my years growing up preferring an old sitcom like Hancock or Steptoe and Son to The Office.

I do in my mind, but not in reality. I can’t even consider myself middle-aged unless I plan on living to be 102 years old.
Most times, I am full of energy and spirit. Then there are times when I’d be happy to join @meanmistermustard by enjoying a snack and a good old sitcom. I won’t even argue about who controls the remote!
