So two things: 1) Isn't it fucking incredible how the way of listening to a song can change its reception completely? That's why, I assume, I love the songs you post: I decide I want to love them before I listen to them. I find ways to love them. 2) This comm will be the reason I will grow up and still want to listen to NEW music. 5pm_weds is going to ensure that I will never have to exist in a musical positive feedback loop. I will never stop listening to new things, exploring new musical patterns, engaging in dissonance. I will never settle for my golden oldies -- especially when there are so many old (and new!) songs I still don't know.
Lehrer ends the Stravinsky chapter with this: "Because our human brain can learn to listen to anything, music has no cage. All music needs is a violated pattern, an order interrupted by a disorder, for in that acoustic friction, we hallucinate a feeling. Music is that feeling... It is the sound of art changing the brain." Thank you for being my best possible musical counterpoint --- and for never failing to provoke that change. ♥
