(1) How do you find the music you listen to? Blogs, music magazines, research (because of interest.) (2) What is your favorite way to enjoy music (live, alone, in the car, bath, work, etc.)? With a glass of wine, a cigarette and my headphones on (3) What do you find exciting about the new music you listen to? The different sorts of energy they catalyze in me (4) What is it about the songs you’ve been listening to for years that resonates with you?  Depends. with some songs I feel I can relate to the music, with others to the lyrics, and then others move me because of the attached memories.
