And [of course] this one:

All true, but I have made the conscious decision to steer completely clear of all new music. Just as I made the conscious decision to steer clear of all new films. That’s why I abandoned my film thread.

Why? Because in running out of time, I made the decision to stick with films and music that I know I will love.

Only with music I have a billion cassette tapes – mixed tapes – with trillions of songs on them. So as I listen to them, I’m prompted from time to time to include some of them on this thread. That’s why there are so many repetitive selections now.

True story.
