"Barkin' up the wrong tree"
This morning began with a conversation with a coworker. I've done my best to paraphrase below:
CoWorker: Oh man, can't wait till lunch! I'm running out and grabbing the new Vampire Weekend album
BigWoof: Who are they?
CW: Seriously!? You don't know?
BW: no. Should I?
CW: Ohmygod they are amazing. They're sound is awesome and they could be a once in a generation band!
BW: Oh, what radio station would I find their songs?
CW: Well - they're not really on the radio.
BW: Oh. Then who are they like?
CW: Kinda like The Shins or Wilco or even Bright Eyes before they got too mainstream.
BW: *cricket noises*
CW: YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE?
BW: No. Should I?
CW: DUDE! You're 28! How can you not know these things?
BW: Because who really cares? You've spent money on a band I'm sure you'll be sick of in 8-12 months anyway?
Now - Am I right that music is ultimately cyclical and paying too much attention to it is pointless. Or is he right that I'm acting like a senior citizen and not really "into the scene"
