Your music collection and growth

[Guest DRS81]

So yeah....

I had like two big booklets of cd's, and I threw them both away.

A lot of hip hop, a lot of teen angst stuff,

a lot of various artists who I don't follow anymore.

I did however keep about 10 or so cd's.

So I went from about 500 to about 10.

It was hard at first, but it was strange and healthy.

I woke up one day and was wondering why I still had these cd's.

Why do I have these cd's when they don't really do it for me anymore.

I guess you can say I'm growing up, being 32 and all.

I'm really into films more than music these days.

Or maybe, since I'm an artist too I see the bigger picture or something, lol.

My favorite artist right now is Kim Walker.

I like her new album 'Home'.

Is anyone in the same boat here?

I had to stop listening to some songs due to explicitly blasphemous or extreme sexual content, but I still listen to most of the stuff I enjoyed previous to my conversion. Also my classical collection I suspect will be safe.

I dunno bary, that bach character. 

 

I didnt have this issue with music since I dont have a lot of cds and my tastes tend to be a bit different to begin with. 

 

However I found myself cutting out a lot of tv programs. 

 

My Christian hubby though still rebels (his own words) with music and listens to things like nirvana. Ug.

Yeah, Bach is out of control. I live a crazy wild life I tell you.

We are all being changed from glory to glory and so our tastes are also being modified. I used to enjoy "24" until I couldn't take the torture scenes. So I suppose that other shows will eventually disappear as well. I still like Christian hard rock but I never did get into the secular stuff. Now I can't afford to buy CDs because my priorities are changing and my heart wants to give to missions; not much is left over. That is simply the direction God is leading me at the moment and I don't consider this any more holy than you guys getting rid of the stuff you find offensive. It is all a matter of God changing our hearts. Who knows what God will do in us next.

Currently I am bored with most movies. Offensive language and sex scenes in my opinion demonstrate a lack of vocabulary and writing talent if they must be relied on to sell a movie. This is another time that conditioning may be taking place, telling us that "everyone is doing it" so there is nothing wrong with it. It simply ticks me off to have the industry tell me a movie is good when it stinks.

Old movies like Fiddler On the Roof and Rhapsody in Blue I can watch over and over, partly because I love the music, and some for the history. And I still like classics like Arsenic and Old Lace.

I can't watch the intense stuff before I go to sleep so I watch Matlock! How pathetic is that! But there is something relaxing and satisfying in the inane.

Blessings,

I digitized all the music that I have ever owned.  I stopped getting new music with very few exceptions in the early 1980's.

 

I had purchased a 10 inch reel to reel recorder when i was an early teenager and when i bought a record i'd take it home and record it.

 

the records got destroyed in a move in 1979.  I transfered about 1,500 songs to digital from those 1/4 inch tapes in 2001.

I have them backed up on carbonite two desktop one laptop and use my smart phone to play them.

 

We drove back from Seattle to Oklahoma in June and I didn't hear the same song twice.

 

and yes some of it is classic.....  that helps one drive across Kansas  LoL

 

mainly rock music

 

right now soul and inspiration

I agree. Just the other day I got The Cosby Show season 1. It's good to get out of that 'new age realism' generation.

My tastes in music have changed a lot over the years and that's because of the Lord, not me.

 

I used to listen to a lot of the 60's - 80's rock and all that, but not so much any more. Some of the older Christian artists I like (Phil Keaggy being one example that comes to mind) but I don't have much taste for a lot of the modern stuff. I also don't have a lot of money for CD's and that, so it has to be good for me to buy it.

 

My tastes in TV and movies has changed also. I don't care that much for all the senseless violence and sex that is in so many of the newer movies these days, and I'm glad the older ones are accessable on DVD or streaming too. TV: all I'll say is don't get me started . . . I just don't find much of it entertaining at all, and some of the so-called "comedy" shows I've seen I just didn't find funny.

I'm going to keep what music I listen too to myself for now. Because I know if I told you guys what music I am into you all would question my Christian walk. So lets just saying that most of it is loud and heavy.
