Ontology

"I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness."

Familiar strangers

There are always those familiar faces that you get to see rather often in places frequented by chance or choice, and yet you never get to know personally either.

Uncanny, familiar strangers that you just don’t know whether to trust with your good intention or to thrust with your good pocket knife.

It’s like listening to a type of music you’ve never heard before, and yet one that gives off the same familiar vibes you’ve grown accustomed to. The kind that might leave you baffled whether to scrap or keep the damn recording.

Why Bother?

Lately, I have been thinking about statements that have been repeated over and over again by various bloggers of extreme/uncanny musical art. That is that people looking for downloads should at least have the courtesy of saying something (like a simple thank you) about the post/blog of origin.

I got me no arguments about that, but what I’m wondering is why go to blogs if people are just looking for downloads? Might just as well type in the musician’s name and album in filestube for that, eh??

Is it because people are looking for references? To try and figure out which one is worthwhile downloading or buying?

I’d like to think something else is causing all these indifferent downloaders to search through the blogs. It’s the bloggers’ unique opinions and attitude on anything s/he posted.

So, what if I say that the following musicians are really stupid and that their split EP sucks a lot? Would anybody stupid enough to visit this blog actually bother to check them out afterward?

Yeah, who gives a shit.
