Yeah it's not that hard to get into, it has a very distinctive atmosphere and such, but Jazz, as a whole took me a bit longer, and now I can perceive its full magic.. to be honest my first tries were kind of b..oring.
Do you have the recent reissue which fixes a supposed pitch problem that existed on all but the very first pressings or something?
Man, I love what I've heard from Will Oldham / Bonnie Prince Billy etc.. but what would be a good album to start with?
This.get Dave Brubeck's Time Out next.
This.
As for the topic at hand... I feel like I truly absorb nothing. I'm adrift in a sea of endless new releases, that seem to come and go without ever making a significant impact.
The key is to listen to an album you thoroughly enjoy endlessly for week long stretched on your commute to and from work. Those albums which makes this grade usually stick with me years after.

I actually don't have the opportunity to do this. I have a 30 minute commute, twice a week. The other three days I work from home. And it's difficult for me to work and actually listen to music.The key is to listen to an album you thoroughly enjoy endlessly for week long stretched on your commute to and from work.

I know this is what I need to do. However, I feel like an addict, powerless to stop.This is how I felt when I used to follow all the new metal releases. It was quantity over quality and for me it had to stop somewhere. Backing off from the new shit and really getting into older, less commercialized and more heartfelt music was the best decision I've made regarding music in a long time.
