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

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!
