http://www.monzy.org/wesley/ A fun read. Forget what you know about genius ;)

Are we talking about a piece or type of music "losing it's emotional impact over time" as it pertains to one person's experience? Or on the world in general?

Be careful, Confucius! I see you painting yourself into a corner... You better, better, better NOT say that you love Wesley Willis!!!

The Bible The Bible by ??? All powerful being creates universe. Places two humans on a planet, and their procreative efforts eventually populate the whole planet. Massive floods, lots of intervention by said Creator, war. Inhabitants have trouble following Creator's 'rules'. A Savior is...

After thinking about this... I think I need to back off my position a bit. To state that music is completely mysterious means... a) that trying to explain and defend my own tastes would make me a hypocrite, and b) any attempt at music-making myself would be pointless, for what would I base...

... or Mynaah could come over here to Dissensusworld? I sure hope we find alien life up there on Mars. Maybe they could help settle debates like this (involving universal truths). Or at least offer another opinion. But if they say that Mozart is better art than Teenage Fanclub then there's...

I’m not sure what you mean by “should”. I believe you are right that there is a deeply agreed upon standard of what defines “quality”, it’s just that some people may have no regard for this in their personal tastes. It’s just a fact. There is someone out there that hates paintings by...

It's all subjective... Sad to say, Confucius, but it IS all subjective. Some people just like things that others dont. Right now I feel like going into my closet and pulling out my t-shirt that says "BE STRONG. BE WRONG" It makes me feel so good...

Hey Geek-Opel... Do you really KNOW WHY you like what you like? If so then I could program a music computer with the proper modes, chords, rhythms, textures and pump out Gek-Music all day and you'd be happy as a clam... don't think so... Music operates in a place not accessible with our...

I do not believe God* exists. However, I know many people who do. I always ask them, “Why do you believe that?”, because to me that’s the most interesting question. I figure the default state is to not believe, and that something happens in ones life that makes one a believer: Tragedy, some...

So... Who's gonna mix GU29??

Has anybody else noticed that Nine Ince Nails "Down is it" is a direct rip-off of Skinny Puppy's "Dig It", which in turn is a direct rip-off of Herbie Hanckock's "RockIt". Similar electro drumbeat and heavy synth orchestral stab. Is this a coincidence or some in-joke... or should I say...

Bleached Black

Steve Coleman makes some of the most unique music I have ever heard. I would describe it as extremely intelligent, conceptual, modern funk jazz. Although some 'fusion' music makes compromises in order to come together, this does not. Steve Coleman has been doing his thing for years and this...

Great thread, Gek-Opel. (my last post was actually an attempt at humor) It is an interesting idea... that calamity might change how people relate with the world and each other. But just as modern society is a reflection of basic human qualities (good and bad), so will any future society...

I put my faith in America, and my money into it's Stock Market. Because our Leaders of Men are some rich, greedy, evil, smart motherf**kers. And they'll find a way to keep going no matter what countries or peoples we have to exploit to do so. In a dog-eat-dog world I wanna ride the biggest...

Trojan Records Sounds interesting... DJ Spooky mixing up the Trojan vaults...

Point 1: With regards to "resource crisis", "climate change", and "environmental collapse". I think it is debatable as to whether any of these things would happen within the next 1000 years. I wouldn't hang my hat on it, in any case. Or at least don't count on these things doing the work...
