a penchant for out-of-tune stuff

mar 24. reasons
was once asked for a reason for liking music so much. it's another je ne sais quoi thing. but i guess music takes no sides, and interpretation is up for grabs. so i guess that's it.
-------

feb 9. the end has a start
you know what. i am still riding on the highs from the "phew, thank god 2008 is over" effect; not that it was particularly bad, or that the year ahead would be like wowow, but i've got this 'back to basics' eureka lalala in my head and it's a good notion, albeit a strange one
-------

oct 1. the start
hopefully i'll update this stuff regularly though no one would read this;
we should spread good and sometimes obscure music around, but then again obscure loses its charm when it ain't obscure no more.

ok i was just talking sh*tt to fill up the space.

The Poetics of Sound
21.7.09
// 095 close and far

having a bit of a brain knot with
no.94,
so post no.95 will have to come first.

one - un-sync?
been noticing incidences
where 3 people
are
simultaneously in conversation;
one makes a 'wrong' inference & says something
which draws a big blank on the other twos' faces.
in sync, they say 'what the hell are you talking about?'

two - ships that pass in the night
how we walk past certain people,
whether colleagues, vendors, strangers
more than once but do not converse,
or perhaps, we do, but we know that
it's inevitably short lived;

how we engage in long conversations with
customers or colleagues through the telephone,
and yet we might walk past them in the streets,
not realising who they are.

three - the artist and the viewer
an artist, whether an architect, a musician,
or writer, would almost invariably
have some ideas behind a piece of work.

as a viewer, you could look at the
rationale behind the art to appreciate it;
you could also look at it and derive
your own meaning from it.
and even if the interpretation is so far off
from the artist's intention, it doesn't matter,
because that's the beauty of art, imo.

// so close, so far
might seem somewhat perverse,
but it made the dust rest. is strangely comforting.


12.7.09
// 094 .blind.spots.

wrote a whole lot of stuff on
perspectives in times of conflict,
but i felt pretty daft trying to
address this topic, and daft
is something i'd like to avoid for a bit,
so it's best to cut the crap, literally.

// float on
// float on. 8 bit

the 8-bit vs really made my day.

I backed my car into a cop car, the other day.
Well he just drove off, sometimes life's ok.
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say.
Well you just laughed it off, it was all ok


what's the message in this song ?
uhh...pray that you have a high EQ,
a bad memory, or...live and let live.

thank god for the mush memory.


7.7.09
// 093 pinback

I do not know what the hell their singing
about half the time;
The lyrics and analogies only create
a bigger rift between words and sound,
but i frigging love their tunes.

Strangely somewhat evocative.
The allure of abstract, perhaps.

// off by 50

2.7.09
// 092 Absolute

understanding the complexities of life
is akin to dunking a wandering mind in quicksand.

thankfully, some things remain absolute.
and can be easily defined in two words ...

i liekkkkkk.

// post-match write up
sublime match vs serena despite the loss.
tenacity is a quality that's worthy of envy.

2. my heart (the song)
// my heart. paramore
this song just sounds so absolute, it's amazing.
