Hi!It can be related to depression...I feel the same since a while...I'm normally a lot into music, especially progressive music from the 70's (Genesis, yes, Gentle Giant, Pink Floyd, Gong...) and also a lot into the 80's new wave as well as neo-prog like (IQ, Marillion...to name a few) and of course everything who include metal...Speed metal (Kreator, Exodus, Sepultura, Slayer, Voivod)...more commercial metal and the list goes on...
Before, when I was putting a record that I liked a lot, I had this strange sensation of pins and needles on the head...you know this i'm sure...now, I can barely listen to music without having headache...I really don't appreciate it as before...and it's related to my depression and the lost of interest I have in everything...Someday, I don,t know why, I put on old LP of Marillion and I listen to a song like Withe Russian from the Clutching at straw album (1987) and I can feel the hair sensation...and i'm still in depression...so I wonder if it's really related to this...but well...that can be a part of the answer...
Ho and I also don't seem to enjoy newer stuff as well as before... NEw albums come out and I found them very ordinary...before, buying a new LP or CD was a kinf of experience...putting my headphone and listen to the music and watching the cover and read the lyrics...now that's seem to be just boring...I donwload the new CD...listen to it faster...if it,s good I make a copy for my car...and I just listen to it in my car...if it's very good, it goes in my ipod...but that's rare... before I was always fall asleep with my headphone in my head...now I can't do it...music keep me awake...strange...
