My musical tastes are always evolving. I used to be quite narrowminded - i.e. just metal / thrash / death / grindcore etc then I started listening to John Peel then Andy Kershaw, Giles Peterson, John Cavanagh, Peter Easton, Pete Tong etc etc. Listening to loads of diverse radio DJs got me into loads of other things such as dub / old blues / jazz / Beefheart / The Fall / techno / jungle / electronica et al
Reading the NMTwee and latterly Wire has also broadened my musical tastes, especially given the range of free CDs that Wire supply.
Going to gigs also tends to broaden my horizons and of the course the web allows access to a whole new range of anoraks who are obsessed by music. On another message board I contrbute to I am always swopping tapes / Cds with a bunch of people I have never and probably will never meet. I think I probably have 15 or 20 Cds from people I have traded with...
