Vinceland

I have a page that gives you some background as to why this stuff matters. But recently some things have occured to me in regard to music that I might as well share.

There's a pretty bad band that practices in the house behind ours. They play bad classic/ jam band covers. And they play them poorly. They practice someone else's jam over and over, week after week with no audible improvement. But they have a hot tub and seem to have fun back there. Meghan calls them out and claims "shitty band practice", I would agree. They suck in terms of good music.

There's another motley crew that I've run into in the lobby of our office building on Thursday nights. The experience usually includes the faint sound of terrible, terrible, rambling noise when I hit the second floor. Then I open the door, and there they are. Somewhere between 6 and 14 older men using (not playing) instruments and other devices of pain in some sort of unison. I believe they'll call it jazz or jazz fusion. My dog, Sirius, usually starts howling at them when we hit the hallway.

They'll probably be there tonight.

My tastes in music differ widely in terms of genre. My favorite music sounds best loud. Regardless, good is good and bad is terrible. People ought to know the difference and be able to judge music correctly, based on what GOOD music was in the past.

Grave Generalization Series #2

• People should not be allowed to play, practice or promote bad music in any public venue.

To me, it's as bad as second-hand smoke and will eventually hurt me.

But I guess even shitty music can be fun and I am glad people are having fun and not using their time to do evil. But when you mix good music and evil, you get Butt Pie.

Look.
Listen and Watch.
