Quote from Ed Droste

I was reading an interview with singer Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear and really liked this quote:

"I would never be angry at someone for downloading the album. Sometimes people just wanna listen to it first to see if they like it and that's totally fair. I'm as guilty of that as anyone else. The only thing I find a little strange about the download culture now is that people have so much music at their fingertips that it's really easy to dismiss an album quickly. I'm speaking from my own experience, where I've caught myself downloading a bunch of albums and then I sort of listen to one and I'm like, "Eh." And I wasn't really giving it my all or listening to it in the right order. I caught myself one day where I was like, "What am I doing? This is so not how this artist intended it to be."\

I'm with him on this. When you get something new, something unfamiliar, give it a listen. Then listen again and again. After five or so tries, over a weeks time if you do not like it, okay. If you do not give an album a chance like this, you will never really understand it.
