| The thing about objectivists is... @nonoise Fair enough. Go nuts with your meaningless jargon, and your justification that “people have peddled this nonsense for decades, therefore it’s inherently valuable.” Go nuts with your defense of “the rest of us swallowed this non-speak de... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @bob540 Yes! It’s really as simple as that. No need for mental gymnastics. Why people need to “church it up” (no pun intended) into some kind of quasi-intellectual debate is beyond me. You don’t like it? Don’t buy it. Simple. Done. Happily Ev... | |
| The thing about objectivists is... @nonoise Some of us care about the efficacy of language, and the meaning of words. Using the terms “PRaT,” and “rhythm and pace,” when describing the respective qualities of various electronics and speakers, is the very definition of “nonsensical... | |
| The thing about objectivists is... @nonoise Your response is unnecessarily rude and condescending. A couple people here at least tried to address the idea. All you did was issue rude condescension, and then give a vague non-answer. With a nice slice of (while pushing proverbial ... | |
| The thing about objectivists is... @clearthinker Thanks for the response. People toss these words out to describe the quality of a recording, and seemingly more often to describe the music-reproduction-quality of a piece of equipment. Maybe I’m just dim, but I still don’t see how... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @pedroeb Define “false Gods,” and how such things are “followed,” and define “true believers,” please. | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @theaudiomaniac The sanctimonious censorship apologia emanating from the obnoxious, strident, hairdo-challenged head in the video here was neither a “review,” nor was it “tongue and cheek.” It was an irritating idiot trying to say (with no persua... | |
| The thing about objectivists is... Can someone please explain what the words “rhythm and pace” mean in the context of analyzing music/sound reproduction? | |
| The thing about objectivists is... @gladmo Brilliant! Wonderful writing, and salient, cogent arguments! | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @edcyn Art pursuant of intellectual and emotional honesty and truth, rendered with intelligence, artistic bravery, and sensitivity is “fun as heck.” Art that induces pleasure without insulting my intelligence is “fun as heck.” Are these ideas th... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @larsman Agreed! Art is not an ideological manifesto. It’s efficacy in what it sets out to do is not predicated on satisfying the totality of an individual or group’s ideological precepts. An artist is not a philosopher or a public leader. An a... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @bdp24 ”Authoritarians hate intelligence.” Ain’t it the truth. Authoritarianism, in practice, has obviously yielded bad results throughout history. But an individual adopting authoritarian thinking, while perhaps not actually making laws or iss... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @bdp24 Regarding why only the most popular stuff is used to generalize an entire era; people are lazy. It’s easier to point to the very surface and say, “well, that’s that THAT was all about.” It’s easier to regurgitate media-bred mythology and ... | |
| Lamont Dozier Passes Away @bdp24 A lot of interesting stuff there. I love James Jamerson. The way he plays the fifth on so many chords in “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted (just such a great, great song) always bugged me, to be honest. The fifth note on pop music bass... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? Seems like a lot of fancy talk here when it seems pretty simple to me. The ‘80s we’re just kind of weird, trend-wise. Garish, ostentatious, tacky, with arguably the most pungent visual and aural signifiers of any era. Like any era, it’s not nec... |
