There are more selections on the established side of the menu. A person just venturing past hamburgers may indeed have a more ravenous appetite than a well traveled gourmand, but probably not a broader palette. Bon appetit! |
| Huey (Netherlands) | Posted: Nov 16, 2010 - 04:20 Yes...liking this very much. |

I agree with both of you, but your example is the case a little less than the other way around. Younger people listen/accept much more past music than older people do present music (maybe not by much, but it's pretty clear to me that is generally the case). Maybe it's the old dog new tricks thing, but younger people are generally more open to all types of music.... maybe it's a generational thing too because younger people usually accept all type of people and lifestyles moreso also. The most close-minded people you will ever meet are today's grandparents. It's not necessarily a bad thing or something to try and change, but it's just the way it is. |
| ashjonesie (San Luis Obispo, Ca) | Posted: Aug 12, 2010 - 16:45 I spoke too soon, I just said to myself, "Some 'Air' would be nice right now".... this station rocks |
| sickels (Boulder, CO) | Posted: Aug 12, 2010 - 16:44 This is an all time favorite album, I really love AIR |
| drews (London, Blighty) | Posted: Jul 27, 2010 - 08:19 How about following 'Air' with some 'Earth, Wind & Fire'? Or would that be too elemental? |

By the way, all the wonderful music we listen to here on Radio Paradise is selected by Bill Goldsmith — and I suspect he's just a little bit over 25. p.s. I'm 53 and I like the track. sounds more like an observation than a judgement to me. And delta 9 said 'most" not all. |

| pope183 (Vinyamar) | Posted: Nov 01, 2009 - 04:35 i like - not everything has to have a transcendent build and release - life and art sometimes is a mellow journey i only wish it were longer as it is nice to work to and i am a sucker for the 70's synth sounds |

Most people after age 25 are totally fixed in the past for music. Though since the release date for this is about ten years ago now you may have enjoyed it prior to that age. Regardless, I find a lot of negative comments on here by people who just like classic rock and other music of the period, and as soon as they hear something experimental or electronic they immediately attack it. Like rtrudeau below, I'm 52 plus I keep RP as one of my home tabs. DELTA_9_FOOLS - I don't detect an ageism bias in the comment board. Folk my age come here to get away from the all-oldies format - and you'll find old codgers like rtrudeau and me all over the place - lovin' the new blood and coming away will new favorites. Nonetheless, I hope you can appreciate the beauty of tunes crafted in the 60s, 70s and 80s that Bill programs here. My synapses fire chaotically when some of them come on. Just like the soupcon of jazz or classical he drops in to keep everyone gingerly off-balance in a delightful way. |

Well, that's been my observation; I've yet to conduct clinical trials. I'm 40, hadn't heard of Air before oh about 2 years ago (here on RP) - and LIKE them - does that make me odd ? |
