>Why should music require something inherent to "get" in the first place?

I agree to a point. Nearly all of the music I like I listened to and found *something* I liked on the first listen. Sometimes it took a while to really get into it, but there was nearly always something that stood out to me. Whether it be a particular sound, an overall vibe, or whatever. Oddly enough, the stuff I didn't really "get" on the first listen was always leaning more towards the simple side, rather than the complex side. For example, when I first listened to "music has the right to children," I thought "what's the big deal?" I thought it was sort of boring and I "didn't get it." I listened to it about a month later and realized that I really dug it. So usually it's the stuff that's beguiling simple, rather than technically complex, that takes me a while to "get." Perhaps I'm jaded by listening to more "complex" music in the first place :D Or maybe music that devotes so much energy to being technically complex should rather devote energy to being "good." derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- with lather thingy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
