I don't usually post random thoughts because, despite being a self-proclaimed genius and often admired by my peers, I am in fact average at best...unless beer is involved. So with the pre-emptive, face saving disclaimer here is my thought of the day (minute(
Over the years i've noticed a sort of razzle dazzle game of musical era sampling, i.e. Disco, funk, Motown etc. to 80s glam rock, reggae and on.

At what point does the resurrection of pop culture and underground sounds run out of a source?

Or will everything be recycled...rcycld...rcld
Maybe I should just keep my thoughts to myself?
