cause small talk is dull. I'd bring my friend Adam back who killed himself earlier this year and ask him where he left my copy of The Arsenal 49ers dvd.
And Jimi Hendrix is boring.

That was a quick shower, or you still have spunky paws. I don't want to know what the state of your keyboard is like. Don't go sharing it with any kids for practicles, or you could end up in a lot of trouble *trigger finger*

he might have a minor point about Hendrix, but not being able to find an hour's worth to talk about whoever he picks is the real crime. I want a week please!

but Hendrix doesn't make sense to my ears.
At any rate it's worse to not find stuff to talk about with your hero than it is to not like Hendrix

my eyes didn't see the Adam bit. I just assumed you hadn't picked anyone. Sorry to hear that.

that is overshadowed by his onstage pyrotechnics and technical flash - it's not all demented wailing, magnificent though that was. It's worth trying an LP like 'Axis: Bold as Love' to get an idea of the subtlety and sensitivity of the words and music - if all he did was 'Voodoo Child: Slight Return' he'd still be the greatest musician of all time in my eyes, but that's only the tip of a complex, fragile and astoundingly beautiful iceberg.

Nothing could be further from my feelings on the subject. I saw a fascinating documentary about scientific research into the body's responses to music - they really don't understand the emotional and physical reactions to organised sounds at all. The thinking is that understanding how it works could be key to understanding a huge amount more about how we function as humans.
From primitive tribal societies to the modern first world, music is a vital and massively important part of human culture and has been for as long as we've been around.
'It's only music' is a fatuous and demonstrably cretinous assertion.

How you respond to that noise is personal. I am not saying it's not important but you build it up to be some sort of spiritual thing and it just isn't. Well it probably is for you when you're smashed off your tits dancing around in your pants to whatever cacophony of crap you're currently championing. It doesn't matter, nothing matters.

We hear sound all day long - but particular combinations of sounds elicit real physical and emotional responses. This is scientific fact. Of course some people will have stronger reactions than others, in the same way that some people eat merely to live, whereas others take great joy from the food they eat.
Personally, I believe an appreciation of such things as good food, music etc. to be a key marker of civilisation. You're being an oaf and you know it.

I just don't get upset when people don't like what I like or understand why I like it. I even agree with you about Bowie a bit. For all his songs I love there are 5 or so more that are shit. Hendrix does nothing for me at all and I find his music a bit dull but it doesn't mean I don't understand why people regard him as one of the greats. You're being stubborn and you know it.

is that we spend nine months surrounded by our mum's heartbeat, so we become acclimatised to and comforted by rhythmic sounds. I would love to know how artificially gestated babies would differ from us if we just took away that one simple thing.

Not like Bobblehead here, or the type of person who only likes what's on the radio at the moment, but people who, as a whole, felt no affinity or need for the stuff, and would never individually come up with the idea? What else would this affect? Language acquisition? Physical skills (sense of rhythm reqd)?
Obviously, our love of music is not as simple as 'mum's heartbeat', but it's an interesting thought, because, as you said above, our biological relationship with music is extremely complex.

Look the part, Act the part, Be the part.
Yesterday I spammed out my CV and I got three calls, two of them offering me interviews, one of them taking an interview back.
That was going through Gumtree, so today I'll go through Monster.
Gonna do some nifty coding today too, impliment some a new features and get it going from the Dev Server onto the SandBox to eventually go Live. I might also send off some invoices.
My guts are really OH WOE IS ME though, tomo I'm off to the hospital, I think I'm going through whatever the oppersite of 'remission' is, sad times, I just want to get on with my life =(

Positive news though, interviews and new clothes. And at least with your guts you know what to expect so you can function until tomorrow. Keep motivated Gonz and code the shit out of a combination of letters, symbols and numbers.
