Update. It's been a while. I had to stop my crazy hardcore listening. It was driving me mad. Here's what I've listened to the past month or so that's new... I'll still be keeping up with my list but it won't be nearly as often as it was.
Both! Or neither! On a serious note, I'm both surprised and not surprised that you're feeling burned out. I've been following your listening off and on, and you've been going at it like a maniac. I've listened to a fair bit this year, but I've found that the only way I'm able to is bingeing on a bunch of new albums, listening to some old stuff, and then taking a break from music for a while. Otherwise I bet I'd be in the same boat.
