5,10,15,20 etc.. DiS users musical evolution!

_fake_blues [Edit] [Delete] 20:32, 1 August '12

Anyone seen that feature they do on pitchfork where they interview a musician and get them to list their muical choices/listening/influences at 5 year intervals of there life aged 5 through to how old they arenow

got me thinking what mine were/are

don't have to restrict it to one choice per five year interval but keep it within reason, say 10 artists max per interval.

See what artists/records were your faves and how your tastes have developed. So for me between the age of 15 and 20 it would be between 1995 - 2000 so i can list 10 artists max between those dates)

obviously aged 5 and probably 10 will more than likely be nostalgic choices rather than taste they are in my case

thought it might be interesting to see how DiSsers tastes have developed over the years

I'll kick things off

Aged 5 - 10

Sade - Diamond Life

(can remember this blurring out in the house whilst my mum was getting ready for a night out waiting for the babysitter to arrive with blind date or something on the tv)

Aged 10 - 15

(wasn't listening to any of these at 10 but by my second to last year at school Nirvana were the first band i remember making an impact. De la soul and massive attck unfinished sympathy don't know how but they were a couple of my early memories that i thought yeah this sound cool as fuck... )

Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring For My Halo
Peaking Lights - 936
Bill Callahan - Apocolypse
Thee Oh Sees - Carrion Crawler / The Dream
Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland - Black Is Beautiful
Ty Segall - Slaughterhouse

and thanks to spotify Pixies, Pavement and MBV back catalogues have all been digested in my senior years (i was tempted to say i was into the pixies in 88 but i wasn't i was still playing with my starwars figures)

Probably quite a self indulgent thing to do and I doubt anybody will be interested in my musical diary but i'd be interested to see other peoples. Quite a therapeutic thing to do actually i wonder what the next 5 years will bring

go for it!
