There's a bit of a technological generational gap between us, I think? It's the thing I notice most between those born after 1970 and those born before 1970. How we all handle tech. And the closer your birth date is to the 00s, the more at ease you are with high-tech. My niece showed me how to use my mouse pad on my Apple computer. Thinking it was obvious.
Music? Not so much. I think there is more of a one between those born prior to 1960 and those after?
That said ? I listen to all my music via my BOSE earphones connected to my Iphone. (And have no interest in going back to clunky stereos, CD players, Cassett players, boom boxes or Record Players. I like MP3 because I can do playlists - or rather turn the thing into my own personal radio station - with no talk, and songs selected randomly from my collection, skipping over those I don't want to hear.)
At any rate, I only have one of Joan Osborn's albums (on my MP3), and a few songs from other albums here and there. Cathedrals is one that is from another album. I love that song. So, not sure how big a fan? She's a bit like Sheryl Crow, Michelle Shocked, Nora Jones, and Alanis Morrissette for me - in that I tend to only have one of their albums or songs here and there? But find them hit or miss? Same with Lady Gaga for that matter?
I also have people no one has heard of? Like a former classmate, college housemate's album: Sand Sheff (who writes off-beat country/folk songs that kind of sound like a poor man's Johnny Cash. (a phrase my father often used to describe a similar band, but not quite as famous like say the Monkeeys are a poor man's take on the Beatles?) I like off-beat non-popular stuff. And a lot of the older 1980s, 1990s, and 1970s, 60s stuff.
