definitely feeling the malaise...in the past year i've experienced a near-devastating decline in my interest in new music, and a complete lack of enthusiasm for downloads, mp3 etc. my eldest son loves spotify (after i introduced him to it!), but i've gone back to the old ways - i have a listening area where i play vinyl through loudspeakers when time and mood allow, and that's about it. i occasionally buy new records (latest being the Leyland Kirby ambient thing) but my main area of enthusiasm is rummaging through boxes of tatty old records in charity shops, going for the totally random score. yesterday i bought four elpees for a quid, two of which were late '70s K-Tel pop compilations, purely for the nostalgia value. but then again, i think i'll probably be buying Zomby's new one on Ramp recordings soon..
