With an open mind and heart.
You open your mind when you experience the new.
This is a fundamental element of wanting to enjoy myself as much as possible. If I judge while I listen, I tend not to find much to enjoy. Maybe, because I begin by assuming that I'm right first, and that if I don't get it, then that's the artist’s fault. When I cast a veil of suspicion over an influence, my options become less interesting... and it's actually not that much fun being right about that after all.
But life’s too short not to experience other viewpoints without prejudice – and that music, film, and art all make the same assumption, when they're exploring the new.
Namely, that you're going to be open to their message, and so here it is, unexpurgated.
