so about 11 years ago, i spent $300 on a 10-hour, 13-disc set of my favorite musician's concert recordings. it was, and pretty much still is, one of the most extravagant and ridiculous purchases i have ever made, especially as i did not really have $300 to spare at the time.
(i did listen to one of the songs 3000 times in 3 months, but i still don't think that justifies it.) (...although the song was called "Justified" so maybe-- no okay.)

ANYWAY. i've been listening to that artist's discography again and just hit those concert recordings.
and today, after 11 years of barely listening to them, i'm struck by how good they are and how much i'm enjoying them. i have over 15,000 plays for this artist, i've heard all these songs hundreds of times, but it's like i'm discovering them for the first time. it's really lovely, and is giving me a brand new appreciation for every song.
