a methaphor, maybe to english majors

I have not personally implemented Keynesian economics to my life. I go through strong booms and busts when it comes to adopting music. The cycle goes like this.
- I get a that song stuck in my head
- I get that song, then album, then artist discography
- I start exploring new music through
- stuff people advise me is good (friends or though media)
- pitchfork, wikipedia, and interviews for influences
- Amazon and last.fm related artists
- I download a ton, filter out at least half
- I decide music is done over; all that is good is already written
- then I get a that song stuck in my head
Recently this has lead me down the path of the Killers, Dredg, Ash, Helio Sequence (again), the Fugees, the Decemberists, TV on the Radio, Wilco, Robert Plant (Raising Sand), and Bruce Springsteen. Also a rise in Andrew Bird came after hearing Dosh live last December – even though the evening was clouded by the death of his best friend. Life from death; there is a metaphor in there for English majors.
