only five years to go
According to an article by Robert Sapolsky, your openness to new types of music dies a death at about the age of 35. Thereafter you stick to listening to the same old stuff over and over again.
To my horror, I realise that this means I only have five years left! I’d better devote some serious time and money to plundering record shops whilst I still can, before my brain starts to atrophy.

Oh I don’t know, I think it’s possible to fight against it (even unconsciously). I still channel hop on sky’s music stations and although I couldn’t tell you what’s in the top 40 (is there still a chart?) I enjoy the music. I think that’s part of it you know, I listen and enjoy, ignore the rubbish and couldn’t give a monkeys about new releases or what’s “hip” at the minute. Ah the joys of getting older!

Yep, I’d definitely agree with that.
But, I don’t see it as a problem….

Only if you let it (says the 46 year old who regularly discovers new favourites on any/all of the cable music channels - currents being Green Day, Kaiser Chiefs, System of a Down and My Chemical Romance (such pretty young boys!) But then, I was a punk when punk was in, mohican and all, so what do I know?)
