I'm receptive to discussing Nietzsche but not when he's butchered like this. Cos he does raise an interesting issue in the history of thought.

There's an inborn contempt in music writers, that despite siding with the masses they always see themselves at liberty to cherry pick which ever thinker they want to bludgeon their critics into submission. Watson's only strength is precisely in this refusal to side with the masses in this despicable, dilettantish diabolical manner which solely permits humans to be rendered as nothing but mere detritus.

Watson doesn't take the second step, love of the human community (gemeinwesen) which is his limitation. It is in that sense his Marxism could be called ossified and inchoate, yes, and I think he should not be spared from a brutal criticism here. But to accuse him of technophobia is so laughably off course one has to wonder why on earth this drivel was published.

then I can sit down for 4 hours going through the entire playlist, true deep listening and objective aesthetic judgment.

I just started reading the book today. I'm just in the Dancehall chapter b/c I didn't put much effort in as I hoped to.

Funny, barty makes the idea that this is a Real Man v Cyborg war when Kartel had already been such an amorphous maniac with a ton of natural human vocal control prior to making autotune and also... some of Mavado's biggest hits had autotune present ("Dying" obviously, "Inna Di Car Back", even "On The Rock").

I don't want to pepper my issues all throughout the thread it's just as someone who actually genuinely appreciates and believes in the heart of the theory he proposes, I worry he actually does it slight in some spaces for the sake of spectacle.
