Judging by the very few things I heard of his, it's the kind of records that would produce anyone who holds his boring, shallow ideas about what music should be. I remember when he started the "what makes this song great" series: I tried to give him a chance and watched a few episodes, but I just stopped caring pretty soon. In the end he didn't have any meaningful insight about pretty much anything, just some technical babbling here and there and a lot of Homer-Simpson-esque "this is true rock n' roll, kids" attitude.

There's not much you can say when your taste is limited to the average boomer-pop-rock songs that everybody has grown tired of because we've heard them a million times (and that are kind of bland by themselves). We all know that Sting - Shape of My Heart is well recorded and that it has some weird harmonies in there, but it still sounds like background music for a family trip in the 90s. Just let it go, move on and discover some new things, like everyone else.

Getting stuck on a loop about some "real music" that died 3 decades ago doesn't deepen your knowledge, just narrows it.


To me, the only kind of debate that may have any kind of interest nowadays is about the multiple ways the music industry (including streaming platforms, distribution services, etc) determines the hegemonic aesthetics in the digital era. Who is creating music, whose music is going mainstream, which are the gatekeeps to non-mainstream music. Anything else is just ahistorical cherry-picking trying to confirm your own bias, not an opinion on the real state of music.

 

I had an edition that had the censored parts restored in italics, as it was heavy-handed by the Soviet authorities. And the stuff that was censored was just weird. Maybe it had some connotations in Russian that I didn't get. But still the subtle but brutal satire of the authorities got through.

It's a masterpiece of a book, one of my all-time favourites!

As for Vonnegut... another utter master of wordsmanship. I'd highly recommend against listening to "Breakfast of Champions" as an audiobook at evenings and falling asleep to it... weird dreams can ensue.

 

As the perfect antidote I recommend Pat Finnerty's "what makes this song stink" series.

Along with Rational Funk w/ Dave King, it's the funniest music related youtube content ever created.

 

Despite your persistence with this concept you still didn't answer my question "What are notes?".

If you are unable to define what notes are in the first place how are you able to know that people are unable to work with them?

 

Still remember the Progressive House scene of the 90s ( Global Underground , Bedrock , Northern Exposure etc ) which was the epitome of electronic music a real Journey of senses . Then i listen the Progressive House of 2020s which is the epitome of amateurish bullshit for little children at least with chord progressions made by people who knows nothing about music . You cant even dance with drops and pauses every 30 seconds .

 

I didn't see him as hating.

 

music is getting worse because the anunnaki do not have the pineal gland and the pineal gland allows manipulation of sound - however with an active pineal music becomes extremely complicated and can be used to harmonically tune the earth as well as activate the power grid even in it's current state of disrepair - harmonic tuning provides an environment that is in tune with our dna but despite using gene splicing to hasten our evolution - our frequency as far as dna coding and theres are 2 different things - in the US the taste in music has been dumbed down so much there is no chance whatsoever of waking the pineal glad - today's music is just dumb - it is a means of diminishing human capacity and making sure we remain indoctrinated for anyone that truly understands the power of frequency can indeed produce music that can carry the power of compulsion - you can hypnotize with it, plant hypnotic suggestion and even so far as complete mind control

 

it is so amazing when you find someone with the same passion as yours and a similar taste. those are the best talks.

 

Armin van Buuren - Blue Fear - YouTube

Northern Exposure vol II - West

Still remember dancing it in the clubs of London end of 90s when i was studying ( clubing lol ) ...................................

Beato-Tomato is a grandiose bullshitter and a vile scammer lying through his teeth. He doesn't actually care about music or the "problems with music today", oh he's so concerned, poor boy, he just creates BS clickbaits to get views and capitalize at the end of the month when googlie sends him the streaming dollar. His viewers and subs are useful idiots to him.

 

Respect to Rick Beato

 

real reason is youtube recommending opinions of people like Rick Beato who are constantly complaining and technical-wanking about music creating subconsciously toxic mindsets of aspiring musicians

 

Fair winds and following seas, may you always stay afloat the good ship Notes and may she be your steadfast vessel on life's vast ocean.. Godspeed young Danie.

 

Has anyone mentioned the notes being in the wrong order yet?

 

Just change your username again, and you'll be back tomorrow

 

Not a note outta order as far as I can see.
