new recycle culture

RIYL:

* the idea that excess can form a cavity in your soul as it does in your teeth, and that the cavity can be filled as long as you are willing to undergo a painful but survivable treatment wherein the offending nerve is scraped out with sharp instruments, leaving the cavity numb and filled but strangely imperceptibly different

* the journey from the moment you pick up the controller/keyboard the first time to play a video game as a kid and experience a weird artificial fear of dying as you take your first tenative steps into an imaginary but unfamiliar world to the moment where you realize you are kind of on top of it for the first time and sort of feel like you’re partying

* the idea of a chronological recut of porco rosso that begins before his transformation and ends when he’s human again and about to finally get the girl

tenftjen:

My mom wants to make a facebook without having any sort of internet presence, so she plans on making a profile posing as my dog instead.

my mom actually does this, like exactly this, this is exactly the mental loophole my mom used to justify having a facebook profile

to what extent, do you think, can one dismiss music on the basis of extramusical behaviour of artists? (for example someone like chris brown or going further back wagner and his proto-nazism) or is it better to base our tastes exclusively on the aesthetics of the music itself?

Thu, 16 May 2013 21:33:00 -0500

i think you can dismiss whatever you want to dismiss on whatever basis you want. i don’t really have a problem with ignoring the work of people who cross personal/political lines that upset me and i don’t think anyone should feel like they’re like, listening to music incorrectly by allowing their personal feelings about how human beings should treat one another to affect their feelings about different artists or art. like no one really has a problem with saying “this one song by this one band will always evokes a certain emotional response in me because it reminds me of that one great summer where i fell in love with my significant other” so i don’t think anyone should ever really have a problem with anyone saying “this one musical artist always evokes a certain emotional response in me because it reminds me of that one time he beat his girlfriend half to death in public”

there’s no such thing as apolitical music, every piece of art ever made by anyone contains some kind of human point of view about something, music wasn’t created in a vaccuum and it doesn’t exist in one so i sort of reject the idea that real-world concerns should be set aside when we engage with art - like if we’re not allowed to let our values and emotions color our response to something what is even really left to respond with you know

oh wait sorry i forgot yeah i’m supposed to “lose myself to dance” okay sure yeah nevermind i’ll get right on that

no no no no no no no no fucking NO this is SO WRONG

it’s not technology that makes “magic” like this is the most problematic thing i have maybe ever heard anyone say about music like have they even thought about this? like if you define “magic” or like the quality that makes music affecting or interesting or worth listening to as something that is purely the result of someone using tools or operating technology, a process that can be fully and completely democratized to the point where every single person on earth no longer needs to listen to music made by other people because they can hit a few buttons at punch up a masterpiece themselves not through creativity or cognitive breakthroughs or god forbid any kind of emotional/spiritual anything but through the straightforward application of technology, then what are they ACTUALLY doing by holding 70’s soft rock on a pedestal above everybody? what are they actually saying when they imply that period of time was more “magical” than the one we live in now because if recording technology being less accessible and therefore more exclusive makes things more “magical” then making a record glorifying and romanticizing a more “magical” time is basically like glorifying and romanticizing the idea that pop music is more “magical” and interesting if class/race/gender barriers prevent most people from even being allowed to try and make it

did not like the record either, discovery and the accompanying film are one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of pop music and i love everything that was happening there, i mean if you’re creating a monument to the relationship you had with music in your childhood then creating a revisionist history of disco from the point of view of white europeans can create dazzling results but when it comes to dudes actually straightforwardly purporting to offer a history lesson i’ll take terre thaemlitz every fucking time thanks

what you will eventually come to realize is that only the internet truly understands you
