Dick Clark is nice and pervy during the interview above iirc, but I would be too lol Biden-style

I suppose that since I went with an alternative definition the filthiest thing about my submission requires imagining that a wild Robert Plant soundalike appears to phone in a terribly faked orgasm.

I am not going to score well.

Yeah, I went a sort of different route and assumed it meant somehow aurally filthy. Not my category as itā€™s been a long time since I enjoyed the kind of music that I think Master3004 is looking for (though I think the Lonely Island submission is dope).

Oh well, happy to take the loss here since I suddenly just realized:

Iā€™m fibbing, I think I realized there was an r there some time in my 20s. I thought it was ā€œper-ogativeā€. I think I was about ~15 when I realized it was ā€œrefrainā€ not ā€œreframeā€, although I never used that word in writing. Trying to think of more recent ones, there are definitely some. On the missing r theme, in a lit class I came across The Garden of Proserpine and didnā€™t know who the fuck Proserpine was, but was well aware of the Hadesā€™ wife per-se-phone. But I guess the former is Roman and the latter is Greek so I wasnā€™t really wrong to be confused.

But come on now we all knew master meant songs about fucking. Which shouldā€™ve been easy. I donā€™t pay attention to lyrics but I assume all songs are about fucking.

While weā€™re waiting for @CanadaMatt3004, would you guys like to share a few thoughts on what it is about music that you like, or what it is you require from the artist, presentation or naked audio in order to embrace it.

General ideas:

  1. describe the magic or magic moments of the experience
  1. Is there any other motive in your listening, than simply the sensation it provides? Is it even possible to uncouple from other identity?

  2. wrt musicians that have made headlines for reasons orthogonal to the music, can you separate the art from the act?

add other ideas! lol go go go

3 is a most definite yes for me. Itā€™s like what being a sports fan has largely become. All the peripheral bullshit that played absolutely no part in any of our attraction towards sport as children, is suddenly prominent - itā€™s too much about domestic violence, politics and PEDs.

For me, itā€™s much easier to separate the art from the artist when it comes to novels, movies, stand up, painting, and so on. Music, for me, is much more a reflection of the artist: a song is personal, a reflection of the person singing or playing. A novel plays with characters, fantasy, and make believe. A song has characters, fantasy, and reality - and each is always in service of reflecting something deeply personal about the speaker. Kanye seems like a sociopathic moron. I canā€™t listen to him. But I can read Heidegger, listen to Louis CK, or watch Woody Allen. Those three are not reflected with the same transparency that you find in Elliot Smithā€™s voice or Jimiā€™s guitar.

See, Iā€™m totally different there. Iā€™ll investigate any artist in search of my next favorite band. If they deliver the goods, Iā€™m a fan. I havenā€™t heard much of Kanyeā€™s music because thereā€™s a bit of a first impression threshold( lol a limit below which a stimulus causes no reaction) that any artist has to manage. Kanye doesnā€™t turn me on, but if he did, Iā€™d forgive whatever other noise heā€™s spewing into the universe.
