I seldom listen to Stina these days so I manage to avoid getting bored by her music.

But its the same with anything.....be it reading a book, watching a film, playing a record etc etc......do it often enough and it will become boring.

Repetition is boring. :)

try not listening to her for awhile and then listen to her again, you will be surprised and notice things you maybe hadn't before; always works for me; I don't think there would ever be anything better for me though, cause it has been a pleasure to listen to for so many years now. It's part of my life somehow, but i don't listen to a whole album every day..

Yes I have splurges every now and then.I try and deny myself the pleasure. :D
RobB is absolutely right-(except that in certain cases repetition can become incredibly interesting-eg Steve Reich or La MonteYoung or the Necks).A few years ago (pre-Stina) I couldn't listen to ANY piece of music more than once in a month.
Yes,Lori,maybe go back to listening to Einsturzende for a few weeks,(the most powertool-esque bits),and then put Common Miracle on after two months denial,and it will sound like angels in the trees.
Inbetween Stina indulgences I listen to Xenakis/Feldman/The Necks,stuff like that.Mix it up!

I don't listen to Stina much these days too. I just rediscoverd my old Bj?rk records and am listening a lot to P.J. Harvey, Underworld and Radiohead.
