Why Do I Only Listen to PJ Now?

Postby Hugh Freaking Dillon » Fri May 04, 2012 7:01 pm

I'm not going to lie and say I have an ecclectic taste in music. I don't. It's almost exclusively 90's alternative ish, but ever since the PJ20 movie came out, I have been listening to almost nothing but PJ and EV solo. All day at work, I'm listening to PJ. At home, I'm listening to PJ or watching PJ dvd's.

I have been a fan since 1992 and have never listened to just PJ exclusively. There was actually a time (around No Code) when I didn't listen to them at ALL. I was too young and stupid to appreciate its genius.

I used to listen to bands like QOTSA, White Stripes, Cage The Elephant, Blind Melon, etc etc. But now I put those on, and all I can think of is "this isn't as good as pearl jam" and I switch it.

Has this happened to anyone else recently?

comes and goes in waves for me. Right now I haven't been listening to much PJ at all and have been digging through Pulp's back catalog.

I've pretty much been listening to PJ and PJ only with some a.m. radio for years now. Finally decided a few weeks ago to just stop. I think its gonna make seeing them live in a few months simply that much more "epic"! (Just for 81) Been rediscovering a lot of good music that hasn't been played in awhile!

Nothing better than a break from PJ every now and then for some QOTSA, the Strokes, Band of Horses, Sonic Youth, My Morning Jacket, Brad, the White Stripes, etc.

Wow. I feel bad for you. Only one band out of thousands and thousands appeals to you? I'm not really quite sure what to say to that. Go to your local pub and listen to a local band and support them. There's so much good music that most people never hear because they never make it big. I guess I just don't understand how a person can exclusively listen to one band. Thats kind of like watching only one movie and nothing else.

On a consistent basis... Yes, pj expresses my happiness more clearly than i can in my own words... The express my pains, sadness, hardships and triumphs better than i can too. Others bands might do one or the other, but it seems like most of the music pj puts out, expresses me better than i express me...

Uh yeah, ME! Ever since PJ20, they won't get out of my damn head! I've been listening to them non-stop, joined this lovely "family," and just can't get enough PJ! There's gotta be some sort of hypnotic message type of thing in their music, I tell ya. Conspiracy! *cue X-Files theme* :lol:

When you put it that way I understand, but saying PJ is the only band that means anything makes no sense.
