Re: In a real small car with the windows rolled up, OH!
[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="QuĂ©tinbec"][quote name="Fussbett"]I'm sure I'm not alone on this. The guy walking to the subway doesn't flip through his iPod looking for appropriate going-to-work-on-a-Thursday-and-it's-slightly-overcast music, unless he's a psychopath. Maybe he puts on Ween, and now he's grooving and smiling, thinking about Ween. [/quote] You're the psychopath. You can spend your time dreaming about musicians but I don't give a fuck about those bastards or want to think about them during my day any more than I want to think about Japanese engineers while I'm driving a car. I'm not their friend; they are providing me with a service. This is my life and I'm not going to spare them a thought while it's in progress.[/quote] Again you've come up short in your study of these foreign creatures called human beings. To listen to a song and enjoy it without being a soundtrack to a sunset doesn't imply you're fantasizing about the lives of George Harrison or Rob Zombie. Are we really discussing how to listen to music? Man am I getting trolled. [quote name="QuĂ©tinbec"]You lazy bastard. I suppose my kind of soundtracking would be gay if it involved a lot of effort, but it happens pretty naturally. Probably half my music is electronic, but electronica seemed inappropriate in India where I was dirty, without power, and wiping my ass with a fistfull of teabags, so I stopped listening to it. My favourite genre destroyed by the environment! It's the extreme of your crowded escalator.[/quote] But that's because you're a weepy faggot who gets startled by his own uncontrollable emotions. I think we've come to one of the roots of your problem: India. India's philosophy on music is that ragas are specifically tied to moods and <i>times of day</i>: <a href="http://www.medieval.org/music/world/cds/nim5536.html" target="raga">http://www.medieval.org/music/world/cds/nim5536.html</a>. It's hard to say if India corrupted you, or those flaws in your views drew you there, but it's not important. You've found your new favourite genre! [quote cite="Wikipedia"]<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raga" target="raga2">Rāgas and their seasons</a> Many Hindustani (North Indian) rāgas are prescribed a time of day or a season. When performed at the suggested time, the rāga has its maximum effect.[/quote] Listen to how stupid that sentiment sounds when someone else says it. It's spiritual girl yoga shit. When listened to in an airport, Prefuse 73 has maximum effect![/quote]
