just thinking

I WAS JUST THINKING THAT MAYBE THE PRESTINE SOUND QUALITY OF RECENT MUSIC HAS SPOILED US--TO AN END THAT WE CARE MORE FOR THE SOUND OF THINGS THAN WE DO THE EMOTION IN THEM. YOU COULD SAY THAT THERE IS A CLUB BEAT PUSHING UNDERNEATH ALL OF POPULAR MUSIC, BUT YOU COULDN'T SAY THE BEAT IS THE ONLY REASON FOR IT'S POPULARITY; IT SELLS ITSELF ON THE THIN RADIO AS WELL.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT ALL OF POP MUSIC IS VOID OF EMOTION. IT EXPRESESS A LACK OF CAREFULLNESS IN EVEN IT'S CAREFULLY CONSTRUCTED THUMP. BUT I BELEIVE LARGELY THAT IT'S OUR CULTURE DEMANDING WHAT'S EASY. OUR CULTURE IS DEMANDING SIMPLE SOUND COLORS TO FIT OUR MONETARY FRAMES OF MIND. PERHAPS WE WILL AGAIN CARRY OUR SITUATIONS AND ENCOUNTERS WITH US FROM CLUB TO HOME. PERHAPS MUSIC WILL SOMEDAY BE A BIGGER PART OF OUR LIVES AGAIN.
