When I was 5, it was in my parents\u2019 house, sitting near a stack of records I wasn\u2019t allowed to touch, waiting for whatever was next on the turntable, whether it was Stevie Wonder\u2019s Music of My Mind or the O\u2019Jays\u2019 Ship Ahoy. The record went around; that was a revolution. When I was 15, it\u00a0was sneaking Prince songs onto my Walkman as I practiced drums in the basement, pretending that I was listening to something less scandalous. The cassette reels spun around; that was a revolution.

I turned around; that was another revolution.<\/p>\n<p>There were, of course, less dramatic ways of finding music. Digging in the crates. Staying up all night with a transistor radio. Eavesdropping on conversations in high school. Those were offline revolutions, unwired; it\u2019s just the way the old world worked. Then digital music arrived and again turned everything around. The iPod happened. Playlists happened. Pandora happened. YouTube happened. Spotify happened. SoundCloud happened. Shazam happened. I couldn\u2019t believe them when I saw them. I couldn\u2019t believe them when I heard them. But they are here, and they are changing everything about our relationship with music.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/underwire\/2014\/02\/questlove-essay\/\">Questlove on How to Find Music You&#8217;ll Fall in Love With | Underwire | Wired.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discovering new music was always an act of revolution for me.
