quote:
ok so what you guys are saying is that all the music we dont like (even thow 1000000 others do and can somehow relate to it) its crap ? I don't think we are saying that Flo. The majority of the general public aren't really interested in "music"..as in the elegance of melody, harmony, phrasing you find in more "serious" music such as Classical, Jazz, Flamenco...etc etc. They like music to set their atmosphere, like "body" music for dancing to at clubs and parties, or romantic music, or music that they like driving to and makes them feel up, or music which consoles them when they have been rejected in love etc. I like that stuff too, but I listen to it casually maybe on the radio or something. I just have no interest in studying it or listening to it critically. The only stuff that gets on my nerves is stuff which sorta sounds like Flamenco, but is really just watered down slow and fast rumba with predictable tunes, because my brain automatically slips into critical analysis mode so it sounds crap compared to some of the great authentic Flamenco I've heard. I also find it a bit annoying too when some players present it as "Flamenco" as it does a complete disservice to the art and artists and misinforms the audience. cheers, Ron
