Sometimes when I purchase an album, I know I like it, or will like it, which is why I bought it obviously, but about 60% of the time the album doesn't hit me like it should right then, but when I revisit it weeks/months/even years later it affects me on a completely different level than it initially did.

Right now, that album is Now I Got Worry by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. I've been really into Pussy Galore in the past year or so, and i've been a JSBX fan for a while but jesus. This album is pretty incredible.

Tom Waits was this way for me, Elvis Costello was this way. I was given "My Aim is True" for Christmas one year and listened to it the following Christmas and was blown away, which wasn't my initial reaction at all. I liked it, but it didn't change my life so to speak until I listened to it that following year.

I really connected with Circle Jerks "Group Sex" recently, and i've been a huge fan of punk since music became a prominent force in my life.. so that was pretty surprising that it took this long.

Visual art is the same way for me. When I used to go to galleries and museums years ago, I didn't care for classic works and typically spent my time in the modern section, but since I was introduced to art by van eyck, titian, bosch, etc, the work I typically avoided and brushed off as boring became a force of incredibly inspiring work that in many ways is much more relevant and important to me than any contemporary art that's been/being created.

That's it I guess. Fucking Shit, Jon Spencer is so great.

It's incredible, I really disregarded all classic artwork up until my senior year of high school when I took an art history course. I was really fortunate because I learned so much, and found out I knew very little about art in a historical standpoint before I took the course.

My favorite paintings come from Flemish artists (such as Van Eyck). Everything made by them looks flawless.

i cannot even count how many times i've come across music at the wrong time that eventually came around to me. i didn't even really listen to music until i was 12 or 13, so then i started getting a ton of things thrown at me and it was too much. once i got past what i knew was bad or simply grew out of, that's when i started going back to music i'd bought or been given and listening to it with different ears. even now i may put something on the shelf for awhile and love it a year or two later.

coincidentally, now i got worry is an album i've flip-flopped on twice - loved it, lost the appreciation, liked it better when i last listened to it.

I used to not be broke, and spend all of my money on music. I think I just bought way too much to listen to in the small span between record store trips, so I never got around to giving all of the albums i've purchased a deserving listen.

It's kind of like an awesome surprise. I knew I had the album, but I didn't know it was that good.

same for me, except i'm still annoyed by anything i hear from dylan. (imo: he can't sing!) most bob marley stuff just bores me. as for neil young, i'm a recent convert -- love his stuff.

The Rolling Stones and the Ramones are two groups I claimed to not like in high school. I left a festival early in 1995 and missed the Ramones set. Fool!

The biggest example of this for me is my early hatered of the clash. I first bought London Calling when I was 14 and thought it was the pussiest sound piece of shit. In all honesty I didn't think it was "punk" enough and I had the same reaction to the Sex Pistols at the time. At that I age I was listening to alot of Nirvana and other really noisy bands and for some reason thats what I thought punk was supposed to sound like, so all that reggae sounding shit didn't cut it for me. Now London Calling is ine of my favorite cds
