If you've seen my previously list, you'll notice that the 'bit of punk' turned into 'a shitload of rock' which in turn became 'David Bowie is the only artist I listen to', and it can be neatly summarized as this twit discovered the joys of the guitar and actual instruments used in music, and my music tastes changed radically. I can't listen to my old favourites anymore, I become too homesick for the great guitars, twelve-string guitars, drums, etc. I will die on my hill defending Clouds as Mitchell's best album.
