older style working man's anti-fascist commie

but yeah, a commie

weird times

do craft unions still exist?

Wagner is worse than all above mentioned

agreed

@Mosely what do you like about guthrie?

Dick Wagner though, not Wagner Antichrist

Tchaikovsky is the only certified Romanticist act for the Alt-Right

Huh

the milo of classical music

im kidding

or something

what's for breakfast

If Tchaikovsky is the soundtrack for the alt right I want nothing to do with the alt right

it's a hit piece

but it has some "nice" info

I find it distressing that most people don't actually listen to music

I have no idea how to cover the distance, make them realize the barrier

between them and music

this includes people who love music

like my wife's english wasn't very good, and she watched english movies completely differently from say, me

she enjoyed the experience

but there was a certain automaticity to it

like absent mindedly eating peanuts

she wouldn't think there was anything wrong with getting up in the middle of the movie to get a drink or something, without pausing it with that facility available

that's how most people (seem to me to) listen to music

even now, it's not always I'm in a receptive state to give good music a fair chance

the best I can do is quickly exclude shit

the problem is, how do you motivate them to consider the experience important

"it's just music man"

the ones already into music but not properly listening may be harder

to convince

I would be happy with an approach for either group

Just share how you feel about it

Eventually some will get it

right now my idea is something like kidnapping and psychoactive medication

In some small way

oh

that's not a bad idea

I'll do that after the LSD injections

pour out my heart

hahahaha

I've resigned myself to most people never "getting it", which is fine

their lives can still be meaningful and important

it just seems a shame

They would be more meaningful and important if they could be helped to see what was meaningful and important

there is also the issue of if people can be shown

I don't have many successes, the ones I do have are not ordinary people

and I can't claim them for myself

What do I like about Guthrie? Good question.
I enjoy folk music, usually. I like folk themes. They remind me of something
.

I don't want to give platitudes, but I think people can be encouraged to have some understanding of the difference between musical content and lyrical content

"forgotten"? I can't place the word.

They have to give a fuck first

All good music is essentially nostalgic in my opinion

But I admit many of his recordings are not necessarily very rousing.

all good music feels familiar, feels "just right"

Eh

The other Americana guy I was introduced to around the same time is Will Taylor.
He recorded his debut solo album with just his banjo and his voice.

2nd album had a full band, ruined it IMHO. Sounded like cheesy country dance hall.

Good music feels like an extension of yourself but I wouldn't call it nostalgic

It's the best word I had

I don't mean it evokes nostalgia as an aesthetic

all good music is half remembered

that better?

I was drunk last night wanting to wage war with anglos

all art is divine

Folk music treads through stories that aren't mine but they still feel half-remembered.

of all the arts, music is the one with the most immediate link to transcendent experience

I knew nothing of baseball as a boy but this song can put me over the edge.

it's literally otherworldly

Nostalgic reminds me of retro gaming and pulling out action figures out of a long forgotten chest

even when worldly, it gives life meaning, so is transcendent in a way

yeah, I don't mean it like that

imagine if in 20 years, heavy metal is forgotten, forever

the music remains, available and preserved

but no one seeks it out

until the end of time

people at a certain point notice it as a sociological thing, make a study out of it

but don't actually get into it

no one would notice, no one would care, unheard, unsung

that would be criminal I think

humanity would have something to answer for

I don't know

I think most people in general don't feel music the same way we do

So if it's left unsung, who cares?
