hey, I'll be performing adult-fairy tales in two weeks, if anybody is in houston.
dance based on Anne Sexton's book of twisted fairy tales: Transformations.
we call it Deviations. cos transformations sounds self helpy.

nihilist: Probably. But a little Duct Tape will fix that. It's worked for me every time.

I can see wanting to learn about classical structures for noise/experimental music. It makes sense to me. Experimental music doesn't have to be unstructured by definition. Even if you don't employ classical structures verbatim, it may lead to giving you ideas/inspiration on the different ways to structure your music. Plus you have to remember that a lot of 20th century experimental music came from the academia and can be found in the classical section of most music stores anyway.

A friend of mine, who's an avid FLStudio user (he got hooked on it because of me), recently told me "I want to learn about FLStudio, but I don't want to get the FLStudio Bible because it teaches you how to better use the program."

He proceeded to try to argue with me about it for about a half-hour before I finally stopped responding to him.

True story, and no, you didn't misread anything!

Didn't Lady J recently say something to the effect of mullets being considered a "sacred rock hairstyle" in Thailand?

I can just imagine going to a temple in Phuket and bowing down before the almighty "Kentucky Waterfall"!

thats true though. American southern rock culture of the 80's had a big boom there for some reason (seriously)

Half Man Half Biscuit's lyric in a middle 8 sums this up perfectly
"Is this the bit where we're supposed to make guitars collide
Is this the bit where we release all that raw energy
Is this the bit where we go breaking down the barriers
Like what we do in music mags?"

Yes, and notice how when they like some guy and he's a pig, he is 'free from sexual hangups', but if they don't like him he's just a pig.

Me (Listening to a mates song): "Chorus is quite bland compared to the verse"

Just off the top of my head.

"Knowing Music theory would ruin my creativity, it would do more harm than good"

"Joe Satriani's playing has nothing to do with music, it's all just math"

"Those Steely Dan records have terrible production"

"Sloppy = Feel" (not a direct quote, but an attitude prevelant during the 90's)

I can fully understand this - as most of u know i'm also doing noisy/industrial music - but i also want to learn playing piano and about music theory. I believe my music can only benfit from this.
I'm trying in music to break up existing structures but how can I break existing structures when i don't know them?

I started to date this girl and I asked her about the music she listens to. She told me that she doeasn't listen to any music!?!?

It blew me away! Literally!!
How can someone not appreciate any form of music? It's beyond my understanding!!!
Not stupid, but definitly uneducated I would say. Sad part is that I met her in a college class. Go Figure!!

What's the stupidest thing you've heard said about music?
