it's been a number of years since I was in my 30's and while it doesn't happen as often, I still get a thrill from discovering a new band/artist that I am kind of in awe of.
But I've come to the point where I know it doesn't happen too often, but for every new band I check out that I come to love, I probably check out 5-10 or more bands I'm not amazed by.
But I also find that there's music from different eras or at least songs, or 1 album that I'm totally unfamiliar with or remember from when I was younger, that I've found a new love for. Largely 70's and 80's Pop. Buffalo Stance by Neneh Cherry for example, or The Promise by When in Rome (Napoleon Dynamite helped). Those 2 tunes I knew growing up, but hadn't heard for many years and in the last few years, I've come to love and also yearn for that time again.
