Reality Check
I think anyone who cares knows Morning Musime is performing at some anime con in LA this July, right?
Ok, I really do love MM’s records. They really do have a lot of great songs, and the girls are very cute and funny and they’re great performers. But I have to remind myself that this is the kind I’ve performance they give. (I don’t watch a whole lot of the new concerts since Yossy left, so I actually forget.)
This decision involves me getting on a plane, explaining to people where I’m going, remembering I blog publically so I can’t lie where I’m going, etc. I’m almost trying to talk myself out of it. (If anyone would like to talk me INto it, I’m all ears.)
It’s really down to a coin flip. (and if I can afford the plane ticket. hint: I can’t.)
Ah, well.
I really wanted to post this to say if watch a lot of anime and claim to hate this you are a big, big fake. Admit this is your nightly wet dream and please shut up and just enjoy it. Love, Jim
How will The Cloud change the way we think about music ownership?
No, I don’t think that will happen. But…people USED to listen to radio, right? They’ve heard OF it at least?
I’m only…over a month behind on Ars.
Ruckus? Get on the trolly.
Two main problems with previous article:
- Most people really are the same, regardless of anything. This is a meaningless finding. The minorities or abberations are what are interesting. The effect described is not true for all languages or cultures, or types of music.
- Modern temperance, which imposes an artificial equality between the tones has been adopted for most non-world/folk music for long enough that it’s effect on speech is likely greater than the other way around. These tones have been presented as “natural”, and people are likely to be imitating them more than the tones are imitating speech. They’ve been matematically rounded off for the sake of convience in tuning.
