This is Actually very Trippy.......................
i have an idea (going on)- very much similar/ just like this (right now):::: VERY similar.... (but not the 'motion sensor' thing.. although i find that fascinating):
... i stumbled on this museum link hosting a 'Brazil Night' tonight. i thought 'oh cool, i'd love to be able to go to that' (as there was samba/ n dance n stuff like that i love). this was on that roster.............. #weird, #veryweird.
I Wanna Listen to a Song so Hard..........................................
(i can see it).............. n that i try...................... n feel, n taste, n touch it...................................... that is how intensely i hear/ want to hear, a song....................................... #'tangiblemusic'
More on my 'Middle Eastern' -transformation.........
i think music, in its 'ultimate'- 'ending' form......... is this. (is Punjabi/ Bhangra). However you want to categorize it. I think this is where music 'ends up'. 'Becomes'. The 'arrival point destination'. That is Punjabi/ Bhangra to me- that is how powerful I find it/ have found it to be.. I have been moved in a way- (by genre)- like never before. I think there's nothing past this 'form', this is where music 'ends up'. (there's no 'improving' it after this). This is the 'final destination' point. And until I hear something that has moved me as (so)- this will be it. I declare.
This musical structure i would like to see 'mapped' out- visually- a million things are going on- and how interesting and fascinating it would be, to 'see this'. To see all these 'inner-workings'- of the music. This is (also) where my music map comes in (to play). I will dream of this til the day I die.
(if i'm lucky- i'll get to 'make it'- see it in existence).
I'm going through a Life Transformation.................
........ and this. (represents)- part of that. Like I said...... (n I've said before)......... n (I'll keep saying)........ Punjabi/Bhangra/ all of that............. all mid eastern pretty much............. has changed me. I think- it, in its 'modern form'. The blend of old and new. The folk side. I'm really obsessed- in a way- like never before. Anyway- this is the 'newest'- the latest n greatest of that 'transformation'. I heard this today......... n........ i'm obsessed!
So....... I've been listening to this: pretty much non- stop.....
since last night........ when i (first)- discovered it............................. holy shi********************************************************
i was on iTunes- checking out some bollywood stuff- and came on this guy's playlist- just stumbled on it. he had some top- 'rated' playlist something or another- n it came from that................. thank u, sir. his name is Imran Q. on Ping.
why must you hit 'like' (button)- in order to 'access' your material?..... how will i know if i 'like' it- if i cant listEN TO IT FIRSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. #gosh.
this is a pretty perfect song::::: but i can hear a little saxophone, about 2/3rds of the way in:::: #love
-this: well...... it's pretty safe to say, (i think)---- he is becoming my 'new fav.'..... it all started with 'something goes right'.................. #SBTRKT i 'add' 'SBTRKT'- to my 'favs'.! ;0
..... they dont make 'em like this anymore.................... this was All there was in h.s. (when i was in h.s.).......... these were my heroes.......... this was all we listened to. Funny enough- i actually didnt get in to sleater til much later- but it was all bikini kill n hole, and all stuff like that in h.s......... i still listen/and am obsessed with bands like these/this era/this genre/ this culture. it's odd-- ive been listening to sO much middle eastern music lately- (punjabi n so forth n what not).. that..... u aL most forget about bands like these......... (Almost)......... i'm just sO fixated right now, on punjabi/bhangra........ its really become an obsession- that i almost- like everything else is obsolete (almost). i literally- its all i listen to. ---its changed me forever- and how i hear music, and what i think music 'should be'. that...... i dont see myself going back to 'punk'- anymore. (or as much). and maybe thats a lofty thing to say........ (n just plain ridiculous)- even coming from my mouth- seeing that i have 'punk roots'. but............ ive definitely evolved, as a listener- always been open to new and 'other' music, never subscribing to only 'one'. and i dunno......... this just reminds me of my roots........... and sort of, where i came from 'musically'.......... it all started 'punk rock'/riot grrrl- especially in my high school. it was the coolest as far as music n culture/exposing me to so much. i will always love this genre- it holds a special place in my heart- and is pure nostalgia.
I wish to see a 'revival' - of this, my friend was in one of the coolest 'riot grrl' bands of all time- and i wish everyday- they reunite. (they were my first 'concert'- too). its that or cranberries- i can never remember which
.... so i recently tweeted this song: posting it as 'a guilty pleasure'. which is kind of an oxymoron (in my vocab).. b/c................ i dont believe in 'guilty pleasures'................ if you like it, n it turns you on......... then it's 'good', (n ok). so..................... power to the pleasure!...... (the 'guilty' one............ muwahahhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ;) )
p.s. n this is actually a 'legit', song, and i am not a shamed i like it. ;)P
..... most 'creative'- way i could come up with- for spelling 'NYE'.................
.......... (for those who 'dont know': Ys is the title of a Joanna Newsom album, pronounced Eez).... it's my favorite album, of her's, and my future tattoo. It changed my life (forever).
In case you didnt see my first entry..this blog is partly a reaction to music journalism in the press (too often hailing mediocrity), mostly a valentine to my favorite music. i am not writing as an expert (i am not a musician). it's simply my experience with music, minus the fluff.
I dedicate it to Theresa Andersson (i pretty much began it in her honor)..
