the most frustrating thing about listening to music with other people is that they talk instead of listening. i find it most enjoyable listening to music alone or being at a concert, cause there the music is so loud you can't really hear people blabbing

I know what you mean man..... none of my friends understand what music can do - I'll put something on for them and attempt to get them to listen, and even if I resort to saying something like "this part's cool" or something like that they'll listen for about 5 seconds and start talking about some stupid bullshit.
I think many modern Americans don't have the patience to really truely LISTEN to music anymore - everybody I know except me and one other person never just sits back and LISTENS to music -they have to be doing something else at the same time - what a restless world this has become.

The great mystery of music is that it we feel it is communicating something to but it is impossible to encapsulate that into words or a summary of any kind (I'm speaking mainly of music that doesn't have lyrics attached). Pure instrumental music shows that things can be communicated without resorting to words or concepts. What is communicated? Difficult to say, isn't it? Emotions? Yes, there seems to be much of that, but once again that doesn't really seem to explain it fully.
Claude Levi-Strauss thought that the origins of melody and music was one of the most interesting, difficult, and important problems in all of anthropology, in the study of humanity in fact. What does music communicate? What does it represent? Why do we use it? Why do we enjoy it so much? Of course cognitive scientists can tell us what happens in our brains when we listen to music, but that doesn't really answer the deeper questions, does it?

the thing that boggles my mind is that in all of human tribes all over the globe, whether they be eskimos on the arctic or the pygmees down under in africa 2 spiritual inventions have been made by all: MUSIC and RELIGION. they somehow seem to be the yin and yang of every community (music definitely being the white part  ), the emotion vs ratio which keeps the balance. Can't stop thinking about this kind of shit; absolutely beatiful....

I heard a story that Harmony was once considered blasphemous and was condemned (like in midevil times), because it was so pleasant to hear 2 notes fitting perfectly with each other, some twits thought it was the devil's work!
I like how music can either be decorative, like providing a chill atmopshere to your house or car, something you can just relax to, and in the next instance, (if your brain allows it), the music can mutate into a doorway and once you go inside and temporarily leave your surroundings, you suddenly have alot of freedom to explore anything in your mind. This is what I'd call a state of timelessness, where you get to stumble and tumble over all the shit that's been there since the beginning.
It feels good.
These artists just yank the 4th dimension open a tiny bit for a tiny amount of time for everyone to play in.

On New Year's Eve, I was at home with a couple of friends and my friend T (who smokes pot by the way) asked if we ever listened to music lying down on our bed? This seemed like such a stupid question to me, but sadly only two of us could answer yes, including yours truly off course. I told my friends they were missing out on something truly magical, so I advised T to smoke some kind bud, lie down, close his eyes and then put on some nice music. Still, it seemed something completely unlogical to him.
I do however realize that psychedelics (including pot!!) really can cause a person to experience music in a more profound way. Since I have found out about the 'magic in life' I can appreciate music even more than before.
Off course this also depends on what kind of person you are. People who
are more realistic and down to earth often have trouble enjoying music. What a great experience they are missing out on...
Let's pass the knowledge!!!!!

Beck
Odelay (1996)
Devil's Haircut
Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting
Temperature's dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leperous faces
Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees
Mouthwash jukebox gasoline
Crystals are pointing at a poor man's pockets
Smiling eyes ripping out of his sockets
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Love machines on the sympathy crutches
Discount orgies on the dropout buses
Hitching a ride with the bleeding noses
Coming to town with the brief case blues
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
Ghetto-blasting disintegrating
Rock 'n' roll, know what I'm saying
And everywhere I look there's a devil waiting
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Devil's haircut! In my mind!
Devil's haircut! In my mind!
Devil's haircut! In my mind!
heres the most relevant in "my" MLuisfiec.
Put your hands on the wheel
Let the golden age begin
Let the window down
Feel the moonlight on your skin
Let the desert wind
Cool your aching head
Let the weight of the world
Drift away instead
These day I barely get by
I don't even try
It's a treacherous road
With a desolated view
There's distant lights
But here they're far and few
And the sun don't shine
Even when its day
You gotta drive all night
Just to feel like you're ok
These days I barely get by
I don't even try
