Hi All,
Sometimes I wonder, if we all became listeners and based decisions on the d=
isharmony of the things we hear with the same zeal as we presently make dec=
isions on the way things look. If based upon that criteria, I have a feelin=
g we might get closer to fitting ourself back into nature and thus renderin=
g all our well made points mute (pun intended)
Instead of all the talk of planet x and 2012 being the end, how about a con=
ciousness shift to our third ear, with subtlies in sound becoming high art.=
I feel many in here have already made that shift and ... sure! its kinda f=
rustrating to be in such a minority, although if you listen to commercial m=
usic you can feel such a huge hole of superficiality that comes down to not=
hing more than coorporate sponsorship to sell us crap.
With the recent SOPA internet piracy act trying to pass. You can see the ol=
d gaurd trying to hold on as they know if they can manipulate data, they we=
ild their persuasive power that much longer. Medias such as Fox News / The =
Hollywood Movie Industry / RaIa and quite a few other shitforbrains outfits=
lobbying for SOPA make it clear that subtle is not on their agenda. Scream=
ing loud crappy anthems through crappy mp3 encodings and mindless movie plo=
ts in a technicolor orgasm of Super High Definition that wows your optic n=
erve but not your auditory one.... i just realized i ranted a lot of crap! =
^^ i'll stop there.
