Techno/House Bobbins 2010

now that i think about that, maybe it's because i tend to hear one track, learn about a new label, and then sort of relentlessly track down their whole back catalogue if i like it enough

otm, I do this with artists or related artists

Honestly, fuck staying current. Not that I don't follow new stuff with very much enjoyment, to have the question "did it come out in the last year" define your listening tastes is myopic, counterproductive, and just silly. (This is why, for instance, I would welcome '10 or even '09 stuff in the 2011 thread. Better it be spoken there than have nowhere to go).

the nuum only moves forward iirc

sometimes doesn't bother to even look backward, or sideways
