Kyle Jacob Biodrowski Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Really now Kyle, I was not spying on you. I just wanted to make sure you were covered up.You really should be more careful; who, in their right mind, really knows what I'm doing in this thread? Who could know beforehand? Do you possess a priori knowledge, Carol?Things, and people, are often covered up for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Kyle,Here is a detour into the past that, for some reason, feels to me in the same spirit as this thread (if you look at it from a quirky angle). Don't ask me why because I can't tell you. Leoš Janáček wrote Sinfonietta smack dab in the middle of the Roaring Twenties--in Czechoslovakia.The middle movements might not be so exciting for you unless you get into a mental drift and let go, but I have a feeling you might resonate with the first 3 minutes or so, and when this part comes back at the end.Think of it this way. Some of the older dudes used to freak out in a big way, too. They just didn't have the drum set, guitars and amps.Give it a chance. You might like it.Besides, it's life-affirming. It says so right in the YouTube notes: "The Sinfonietta is perhaps Janacek's finest orchestral work, and one of the most vibrant and life-affirming works ever written."But don't let that stop you.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelUgh, Michael, I can't bear such a cacophony of sound created by such primitive devices. Not an electronic device to be seen among the collection of savages. For goodness sake, some of them are rubbing sticks on strings! No transistors, speakers, receivers, amplifiers, routers, compressors, resistors, capacitors, or even circuits! What the hell is going on?!This is quite terrifying actually. Such a display and arrangement may have been appropriate in times before we had all these wonderful electronics. But, today, I can only take this display as the willful refusal of progress and technology. These savages wish to regress to the primal days of the jungle and swamp. Okay, okay, in all seriousness, I'm kidding. Go figure... I was just using a funny reasoning technique which I call "lazy perilous." It's, well, as you may have gathered, lazy, perilous, and even pompous.In all honesty, I liked it, but don't tell no one. I have a reputation to uphold, y'know. Interestingly enough, the song reminded me of city life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caroljane Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 ... but not entirely irrational, for Beta Doug. This is in light of the many who post his same views in the US in their own names and remain unmolested. I suspect he just does not want the hassle of defending his opinions in the real world to the unsympathetic; Beta Doug does not strike me as the bravest of characters. As for Superdoug, he is fearless anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Jacob Biodrowski Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Warning: Loud and raucous (and here I thought I was done with the warnings. A sure sign I wasn't doing something right.)So, I was watching Cabin in the Woods yesterday and, during the credits, the song below played. I couldn't shake the feeling that I had heard it before. So, after a brief search on Youtube, I discovered the song was by Nine Inch Nails. Indeed, it was likely I had heard it before since I had listened to the album in the past. It's amazing how items of the past can suddenly re-emerge in the unlikeliest of places. Okay, maybe it wasn't the unlikeliest place. Horror movies are known to have rock songs play during the credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While acknowledging the subjectivity of it all let's consider "pro-life" music--that is, when I was young nothing was so beautiful and uplifting to me as classical waltzes, but that didn't keep me from 'knowing'.--Brantonly things to think about; I hardly know you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
