There's too much music in the world and I want to listen to it all.
I find a couple of cool psych albums from the 60's that I know I immediately need to check out but before I can even finish them I get recommended a 80's shoegaze or jazz album that I check out and put the rest of those on my backlog.
But then I realize I'm missing out on newly released albums I want to check out and I feel like I should be listening to and my 2017 grows and grows while my regular backlog grows and grows and at some point it just feels overwhelming.
How do you deal with it guys?
Have you heard this Argentinian progresive rock album, anon?

You will never experience even the smallest fraction of the music there is to experience before you die, so just listen to whatever sounds interesting at the time, don't backlog it makes music seem like a chore

No problem, most music is shit

>newly released albums
Stop doing this. Let the filter of time be your tool.

Thom is such an overrated hack.
>muh politicians are evil and lie!
No shit. Go listen to interviews and podcasts with him, such an insufferable cunt

Oh, fuck off. There's a lot of great albums that will unfortunately be forgotten in that case.

Sure there will. There will always be great albums you gloss over or just don't get to find. You have that problem much less when you focus your exploration with the filter of time as your tool, however. Very generally speaking, the best music finds a niche somewhere. You don't gain anything by slogging through dozens of mediocre releases every year.
