ORIGINAL: Edwird Got you all worked up, didn't I? Nope. Not in the slightest. See, you don't know me well, which also means that you don't realize that I don't get worked up. I discuss and debate, the day I get worked up over someone on the Internet... I will unplug my computer and smash my router. quote:
And yes, my ears are likely more sensitive than yours. I wish that it were not so, believe me. I hear a truck putting on the brakes in traffic, and my mind immediately susses it out. "OK, that's a major third, a C sharp with an E sharp, to be exact." I had the greatest difficulty sitting in the classroom because of the buzz from the ballast of the fluorescent lighting. When my microwave oven turns on the radiator, after the 'power' setting, it goes from an octave and a fifth to a diminished fifth, which drives me buggers, but I have trained myself to have fun with it in any case. I didn't even know that I had what's called 'absolute pitch memory' as opposed to relative pitch memory, until my music theory teacher called me out on it in one of our music dictation classes. My neighbor's AC unit intruded through the walls, and I thought it sounded 'different.' Sure enough I went to this site and discovered that the hum was at 177 Hz rather than the prescribed 180 Hz as would be proper for the third harmonic of 60 Hz. There is something about sound traveling through denser material that screws things up, but I've not arsed myself about this particular sonic conundrum. I also took piano tuning class for a year, and have tuned many pianos. In any case, you would snap up my brother's '66 Höfnerr bass and that Canadian Traynor of his amp in a heartbeat, if he was selling. So not only are you a music snob, you are a highly tuned obnoxious music snob? Who gives a shit if you can tell if a trucks breaks are in what key? That is not what is being discussed. You have perfect pitch... or whatever you call it. I do too. So what? It makes your life hell? Frankly, it makes mine just fine thanks. I do not mind dissonant tones, in fact, I listen to a few artists that use them regularly. Ever listen to Béla Bartók? yeah, the Difficult Listening Hour if there ever was one. Love the man because he played in the irregular. quote:
And yes, who the fuck doesn't know that Cher was the first with auto tune, at least in the pro audio world. I wasn't sure if she was or not. So you try to make me look like a muletard for that and thus what? Invalidating my points which you fail to address? Dude... you are in a gunfight with a pointy stick. quote:
And yes, my live shows and studio work on the sound board explained to me in less than exemplary fashion what unmitigated fuckwits and earless lumps that 'producers' are. If you want to use 'producers' as the final estimation of what's good or not, then have at it And yet you blame the producers for today's music and not the shitdicks that write this twaddle. Interesting. I will ask it again, miss the point much? quote:
We're done We were done a long time ago sunshine... you are just catching up to that? I don't give a fuck if you can tell the difference in the sigh that a flea has while procreating or self-pleasuring itself. You cannot invalidate music as a whole, ignore that the writing is shit, while claiming to have great knowledge about the production and yet you rail against the producers. If that is your base of comprehension about the musical process, then you are so far off base that my dead grandmother could tag you out and get cheers for it. I will say it again, if you think that you have somehow invalidated me, you could not be more wrong. I have one thing you do not, and that is an open mind and the tolerance for things that I may not like that exceeds my distaste for it. Be rigid. It suits you. My world is better by not turning my nose up to things that I choose not to listen to. Good day. If you ever care to actually debate my points, let me know. I would welcome the discussion.
