| Your last concert was to see who and when? A month ago I saw the San Francisco Symphony (conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen, choral direction by Jenny Wong, piano by Jean-Yvette Thibaudet) at Davies Symphony Hall do Scriabin’s Prometheus, The Poem of Fire and Bartók’s Duke Bluebeard’s Castle. ... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue @tony1954 FWIW, especially after we consider the Academy/Hollywood’s moral grandstanding, I don’t understand why we have “Best Actor” / “Best Actress,” either. It’s…acting. I thought equality was what we were after, but what do I know. | |
| Noir album recommendations I second Twin Peaks by Angelo Badalamenti. | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue I think when seemingly every media outlet lavishes something with effusive praise, I go into it with a certain expectation that causes me to be disappointed sometimes. In that situation, I feel like my ability to take the thing on it’s own terms i... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue I’m not a troll and I don’t like conflict. Opinionated and intense, yes, but not a troll and I don’t like conflict. As such I’ve been thinking about my contributions to this thread quite a bit. I think I was still “on one” from the previous Taylor... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue @grislybutter Please don’t misrepresent my words. At no point was it ever “the point” to label, categorize and speak of an artist on terms of gender, male or female. The most recent thread topic where I expressed my objection to the “female ar... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue @jastralfu when I said “level playing field” I meant, unlike athletics where it’s a scientifically proven fact that males have a physical advantage over females, none such exists in art. | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue @jastralfu Of course there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the (clearly different from a male’s) sound of a female voice. Of course everything you say is true, but none of it addresses what I said or what the actual issue is. I’ve never once heard s... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue “Full disclosure I love female vocalists…” How does such a sexist qualification necessitate a preface of “full disclosure…”? Full disclosure: I abhor sexism. Do you refer to “male vocalist” as if it’s a “genre” or do you just call them “vocalist... | |
| Kind of Blue @viridian Kind of Blue or “free jazz” is the cliche you’d be happy to never hear again? | |
| Kind of Blue It seems like we’re simply incapable of considering that it is not the definition of the “genre” that is the problem, but the “genre”-mongering itself that is the problem. In lieu of talking about how to define a “genre” and then describing music... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @larsman For one, I didn’t say anything about “political violence” either. Again, I was merely using an analogy to challenge the notion, “if someone likes it, it’s good.” | |
| Kind of Blue I love talking about and describing music. I see the act of describing a “genre” (and the subsequent stringent segregation and put-everything-in-a-box attitude) as being useful only to a person for whom doing so helps them maximize their profits ... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @simao I said, “that dog won’t hunt,” not, “that dog don’t bite.” I look forward to the edification and growth I may be so blessed to attain in a future meeting with the sage-like simao. | |
| Are You a Swifty? @simao No, talk of "legitimate art" is not the conclusion one who actually read my words and understands words would reach. Best of luck with that whole "words" thing and that whole "intellectual honesty" thing. You're off to a good start wi... |
