there's some music in this but isn't it just Greensleeves?

2017-03-25 17:12:19 UTC

that medieval stuff?

2017-03-25 17:12:36 UTC

You didn't notice a change in our correspondence?

2017-03-25 17:12:47 UTC

no

2017-03-25 17:13:22 UTC

I'm not sure you're sober now as a matter of fact

2017-03-25 17:13:39 UTC

Did you see my tangent on the microcosm?

2017-03-25 17:13:45 UTC

Completely sober

2017-03-25 17:13:50 UTC

Here it is:

2017-03-25 17:13:54 UTC

The microcosm is infinite, and its infiniteness renders impossible beginnings-in-itself and ends-in-itself. The infinite nature of the microcosm is its unyielding 'always doing something' -- this applies to microcosms that are more or less conscious. The moment the microcosm is conscious, it already was (think about when you were 2 or 3 discovering your own face in the mirror, and gazing upon yourself in all of your selfness). The microcosm realizes it is, it used to be, and will be (whether a moment from then, like moving a hair, or going further). It simultaneously sprawls in all directions in its possibilities (past, present, future). The retort to this is death, that the microcosm will lose its consciousness when it dies. But this is not true to the microcosm as it can't reflect on its nonexistence after its death.

2017-03-25 17:14:11 UTC

I don't normally write shit like this while drunk

2017-03-25 17:14:12 UTC

what's a microcosm

2017-03-25 17:14:36 UTC

HE IS RIFFING ON GREENSLEEVES

2017-03-25 17:14:39 UTC

BUT YES THAT IS THE TUNE

2017-03-25 17:14:42 UTC

yeah I can hear it

2017-03-25 17:14:46 UTC

and I like greensleeves

2017-03-25 17:14:50 UTC

but the riffing on it sucks

2017-03-25 17:14:58 UTC

PERHAPS THAT IS TRUE

2017-03-25 17:14:59 UTC

The self, or the world of the self

2017-03-25 17:15:06 UTC

pavement music

2017-03-25 17:15:10 UTC

grocer music

2017-03-25 17:15:16 UTC

cab in the rainy city music

2017-03-25 17:15:27 UTC

its a hard life fo a nigga music

2017-03-25 17:16:46 UTC

jazz is vain

2017-03-25 17:17:00 UTC

the only true american art they say

2017-03-25 17:17:05 UTC

the vanity of jazz can be properly understood only if you are amusician

2017-03-25 17:17:24 UTC

you can spend lifetmie being a jazz musician, well known and well regarded

2017-03-25 17:17:35 UTC

and find yourself playing same thing over and over

2017-03-25 17:17:46 UTC

THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH IMPROVISATION

2017-03-25 17:17:49 UTC

IT CONVERGES ON THE SAME

2017-03-25 17:17:50 UTC

there's some music in this coltrane

2017-03-25 17:17:52 UTC

CHAOS = REPETITION

2017-03-25 17:17:57 UTC

and you dont actually understand it, because in your mind you are "improvising" and coming up with different chord patterns

2017-03-25 17:18:03 UTC

THE MUSICIANS I LISTED ARE THE BEST OF THE GENRE

2017-03-25 17:18:03 UTC

butthe music - its the same

2017-03-25 17:18:08 UTC

yeah

2017-03-25 17:18:09 UTC

it's always the same

2017-03-25 17:18:11 UTC

THE ESSENTIAL STRUCTURE IS THE SAME

2017-03-25 17:18:15 UTC

music isn't just sound patterns

2017-03-25 17:18:15 UTC

SAME PROBLEM AS IN POSTMODERN LIT

2017-03-25 17:18:18 UTC

THE MORE SURFACE DETAIL,

2017-03-25 17:18:20 UTC

THE LESS OF A CORE.

2017-03-25 17:18:22 UTC

just like poetry isnt word patterns

2017-03-25 17:18:28 UTC

THE LESS ACTUAL STRUCTURE

2017-03-25 17:18:38 UTC

INDEED

2017-03-25 17:18:40 UTC

SODOMIZE

2017-03-25 17:18:41 UTC

THE JAZZ

2017-03-25 17:18:43 UTC

all folklore music is repetitive, due to primitiveness of older instruments

2017-03-25 17:18:51 UTC

so it's beauty is in aesthetics

2017-03-25 17:18:54 UTC

ALL MUSIC IS REPETITIVE

2017-03-25 17:18:57 UTC

yeah

2017-03-25 17:19:00 UTC

THE POINT IS TO USE REPETITION WELL

2017-03-25 17:19:02 UTC

Do people masturbate to jazz for a full wank experience

2017-03-25 17:19:03 UTC

JUST AS IN POETRY

2017-03-25 17:19:04 UTC

repetition is a key both of poetry and music

2017-03-25 17:19:11 UTC

AS A HIGHLY REPETITIVE INDIVIDUAL

2017-03-25 17:19:16 UTC

which is composed of both lyrics, music, and the hidden, esoteric message only understandable to those who understand the culture and its complexity deeply

2017-03-25 17:19:18 UTC

I REALIZE THE EFFICACY OF STRUCTURED REPETITION

2017-03-25 17:19:18 UTC

and even just communication

2017-03-25 17:19:20 UTC

hence the beauty of folk music

2017-03-25 17:19:21 UTC

I have yet to wank to jazz.

2017-03-25 17:19:39 UTC

this sentimental mood coltrane is better

2017-03-25 17:19:40 UTC

FOLK MUSIC HAS A BEAUTY IN THAT IT IS FUNCTIONAL

2017-03-25 17:19:47 UTC

IT IS A GUIDE TO DAILY EXISTENCE

2017-03-25 17:19:50 UTC

FOR THE PEOPLE WHO PRACTICE IT

2017-03-25 17:19:54 UTC

LIKE OLD SCHOOL COUNTRY IN THE USA

2017-03-25 17:20:03 UTC

Why are progressives drawn to neofolk?

2017-03-25 17:20:06 UTC

SONGS FOR DYING, LIVING, BIRTHING, SEX, WAR, LOSS, HAPPINESS

2017-03-25 17:20:08 UTC

because it's authentic

2017-03-25 17:20:13 UTC

BASICALLY

2017-03-25 17:20:14 UTC

such people are always drawn to apparent authenticity

2017-03-25 17:20:15 UTC

AND

2017-03-25 17:20:16 UTC

like metal music

2017-03-25 17:20:18 UTC

THEY LACK WHAT IT HAS

2017-03-25 17:20:19 UTC

What is neofolk? Is that like Americana?

2017-03-25 17:20:20 UTC

Seems like every other neofolk show has some lgbt agenda

2017-03-25 17:20:22 UTC

yeah exactly

2017-03-25 17:20:23 UTC

they want it

2017-03-25 17:20:28 UTC

authenticity vampires

2017-03-25 17:20:35 UTC

people wonder what a "hipster" is

2017-03-25 17:20:37 UTC

THE FAR RIGHT CANNOT BE SEPARATED FROM HOMOSEXUALITY

2017-03-25 17:20:45 UTC

EXCEPT WITH A CROWBAR

2017-03-25 17:20:48 UTC

a hipster is one who appropriates something, while missing/trivializing its true meaning

2017-03-25 17:20:58 UTC

I.E. A POSEUR

2017-03-25 17:21:02 UTC

A HIP POSEUR

2017-03-25 17:21:06 UTC

HIPO?

2017-03-25 17:21:20 UTC

Poseter

2017-03-25 17:21:31 UTC

it seems to me that the themes (war, love, death) in folk music is always transcended for greater aesthetic purposes

2017-03-25 17:21:31 UTC

PIPSTER

2017-03-25 17:21:46 UTC

CENTER OF FOLK MUSIC IS UNISON WITH CULTURE AND NATURE

2017-03-25 17:21:51 UTC

SO THERE IS CONVERGENCE

2017-03-25 17:21:53 UTC

that the theme of the lyrical content gets subjected to the aesthetic purposes

2017-03-25 17:21:55 UTC

it's about the day to day existence

2017-03-25 17:21:57 UTC

MUCH AS IN LITERATURE

2017-03-25 17:22:00 UTC

it's alive like we are alive

2017-03-25 17:22:10 UTC

but higher music is alive like we wish to be, or ought

2017-03-25 17:22:12 UTC

idealistic

2017-03-25 17:22:18 UTC

because folk songs never say much

2017-03-25 17:22:26 UTC

they always have a very spartan lyrical content

2017-03-25 17:22:26 UTC

folk music is the music of living, art music is the music of dreaming
