Daunting or pedantic ?Reading the original is rather daunting -
🙂I was daunted so never discovered if it was pedantic.
Intellectualism, bombastic style, excessive taste for abstraction often hides a poverty of thought or a desire to appear more intelligent than we are, right? I always found it suspect.

Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted---
On this home by Horror haunted---tell me truly, I implore
Is there---is there balm in Gilead?---Tell me---tell me, I implore
Quoth the Raven,
"Nevermore."

Measurement (data) is all abstraction so yeah I'd agree there's an excessive taste for it on here 😀

I'm starting to get into this guys music, he's a creative genius but probably too commercial for your taste. Check it out.

Reading the original is rather daunting - however Hubert Dreyfus makes MMP so much more approachable - Hubert Dreyfus's "Intelligence Without Representation"
Nice piece of work. Didn't know it. Thanks

Have you read Walter Freeman's 'How brains make up their minds' ? Highly recommended if you've not met it. Very meaty 😀

Now you're older and smarter, you might find MPP interesting.
When I was a student studying Phil in the Anglo-Saxon tradition back inthe 1960s I found him to be a breath of fresh air. But not an easy read, that's for sure.😱

Psychodelic is out of my league, very likely requires a proper British start in life.
(red also never managed to give my mind head)

Interesting. It's not something I would 'goto' but I feel embarassed that I don't have enough of an appreciation of the late 70s-80s underground bands that birmingham, sheffield and manchester spawned. I was either too young or too mainstream at the time to appreciate them, but as I mature (slowly) I realise that an understanding of where it all came from does help.
Aside: sod all on TV last night and experiment 626 wasn't sleepy so we had a WB cartoon marathon. Fascinating looking at the differences in style between the years and how abrubtly it changed between '41 and '45. Late 50s was getting a bit too experimental for SWMBO until I pointed out what the historical backdrop was. Had also forgotten how good the early Taz was 🙂
Birmingham
That rings a Ruby bell, a head, but it wasn't red.
Seen England, seen 'm (nearly) all.
You like industrial?

If you visited Sheffield in that era it made a lot of sense. Talking to someone in the office who did (live in Sheffield) he confirmed they were best appreciated live and when tanked up 🙂

I'll give anything a listen with open ears. My biggest problem is I'm lousy at genres and what the differences are so stick with 'good music' and 'bad music'. But that is worth another listen.
Currently not sure where to put Cello metal.
Back to some quality music.....I worked this show last weekend operating follow spot from a tower directly above FOH....IOW right in the audio sweetspot.
For a few songs I was able to ditch my cans and take a proper listen.
The sound (Clair i5 and Amcron) was seriously hifi....bottom end bass and drums to die for, wonderfully clear and present vocals and guitar, highs a touch overly crispy but never fatiguing,.......and groove factor through the roof......right in the root chakra.
My filter device was (secretly) on the multicore.....Scott, I reckon, you would have enjoyed this sound big time.
Fleetwood Mac - On With The Show - Perth - 2015 - The Chain
Listen from the beginning, Aussie gold at it's best !....the commentaries are funny as.
goto 4:00...."Hear that bass......fuken ooresome" hahahaha rotflmao.
Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way - Perth 30/10/151
The camera is far stage right pretty close to directly under that side speaker hang, so most sound pickup is that side speaker hang with a bit of on stage sound.
