i live in utopia

i live in utopia

If this utopia is somewhere in the clouds far away from any libraries containing musicological and music theoretical scholarship written in the last 150 years or so, then yes, I agree!

[crumhorn]

See if you can explain this with your fancy theories.

[crofter]

Ha,so while I've been in bed we've gone from audio is not music to Italians invented music and we are all cunts not musicians. answer me this then, if Italians invented music all those years ago why is Italian music mostly shit, there hasn't been a decent tune since Monteverdi karked it.

[docprosper]

a) What's your point?
b) What does this nonsense have to do with of any importance other than as some way for you to justify your distaste for PH/rewire, your past banning(s), etc.?
c) Are you getting anything out of this (it appears that no one else here is, at least not in any positive way)?
d) As a music hobbiest, I find your "only a real musician could understand" rantings to be particularly offensive. Do you really think a formal musical education is necessary to assess your logic or lack thereof?
e) You seem to be a very bitter, egotistical person. Not really a question, but hey, I was making a list.
f) What do you think about Behringer desks?
g) Do you make music?

a) ?!
b) ?!
c) interesting discussion.
d) yes, only a real musician can understand the complexity of music. Infact 90% of what we call "music" is just commercial music, very simple.
e) ?!
f) i had a little behringer analog mixer years ago, and it was noisy. Then i went to digital gear. I gave the little behringer to a friend of mine: it was a fuse. Now it is quite silent, for him (but he plays the electric guitar, often distorted)
g) yes

Your answer to (d) only shows how ungrounded you are. A true professional in any walk of life can explain their work to the layman and engage in rigorous debate and discussion with those removed from their field. You dismiss whatever counterpoints you want with what is essentially a cop out. You are a sad little pathetic asshole of a troll... which should have been evident from the thread topic.

where is the "trolling" in such an obvious sentence? 90% of the so-called "music" nowadays is very simple music, even a child can understand it after two times it was played: easy chord progressions, easy melody, 4/4 stuck rhythm etc. This is commercial music (90%), but at least it is still music LOL. No one knows underground music, let alone what you call "classical music". Regarding the mainstream, if you want to listen to some complex or interesting music you have to choose only those 5-10 rock bands (all american, sometimes english... because of the imperialistic matter). People calls "music" what we here call "musica commerciale" that is to say $$$. It is an industry, not a form of art. It is like movies, or literature. We separate artistic movies and commercial movies, art literature and commercial books, junk food and haute cousine (which is an art in itself). You, in america, have not this distinction, because of different culture, i guess... We call it "quality", you call it "wow, cool!"

You dont have to be a musician to understand music.

[9V]

You dont have to be a musician to understand music.

is this what your teachers tell you? Now i understand most of american music (... and the food ... and the movies etc. )

[andydes]

Wow, so that's what this has come down to. If you are unaware of good american art, film, literature or music, the only explanation is that you have shit taste.

No one knows american underground music. Not to mention european, italian, eastasian, japanese underground. What we know about american "music" is the mainstream pop songs industry Let alone what you call "movies" haha, with 3d, the happy ends etc. Literature: "the davinci code" "herry potter" ... Political matters: "obama" in america called "a socialist" (haha a socialist! haha). Coca cola, sometimes war

Well, you've got Berlusconi

[9V]

Well, you've got Berlusconi

Berlusconi is an american product. It is the pizza-mandolino-women-mafia sterotype of italian in america. Infact he is "famous" in america. Which other italian politicans do you know apart that piece of crap and (i guess) the other shitty one (mussolini)?

I think you just proved my point about taste. Go educate yourself. By the way, harry potter is ours and it's a children's book.
