I’m fairly opinionated about my music in general but I’m just under the line where I refuse to accept that I’ve been wrong in my opinions, so here is a list of musical things I was wrong about. Feel free to gloat if you were always right.
1. Animal Collective aren’t as bad as I first assumed. In fact, ‘My Girls’ is really rather excellent (apart from the bit before the drums kick in, that’s still quite stale). Which is annoying.
Animal Collective – My Girls (YSI)
2. Esser’s album wasn’t all that great. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the first few songs I heard, but since my somewhat exuberant response to the album’s release, I have to say I’ve retracted my love for it somewhat. It’s just… fine.
3. Noah and the Whale’s new, more full sound could, at times, not be painfully dull.

Hey you might like Mumford & Sons! If you haven’t checked them out, you should watch their performance on Letterman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REPctGLpWqk&feature=player_embedded

It’s not like you really have to admit you’re wrong… sometimes things take a while to come around. Sometimes I only like things when they’re a little passé.

Oh it’s not being wrong as opposed to other’s views, it’s admitting times when I’ve said something I vehemently believe to be true (on or off the blog) and then changed my mind about later.
As for things being passé, that seems a wise way to be, I’ve been caught up in hype far too many times now…

This is my favorite blog post! It takes a strong person to admitt wrong…but as Billy Joel Sang… “she just changes her mind when she pleases” Just consider it changing your mind my friend! Love your thorough commentary on music.. very refreshing.
