A Musical King of Warmth

music really is an amazing medium, it can convey so many emotions and ideas that were I to choose one entertainment for the rest of my life I would have to seriously consider giving up reading.

it is from this point of view that I have to say that music has become a festering sore on the face of human culture, occasionally it heals over when a new, decent , band makes an appearance but then bursts in a fountain of pus when a ‘new’ ‘artist’ appears.

But enough with the bodily analogies, basically I am appalled at the level to which music has become unsentimental crap that transpires to be a 2 minute song about ‘my humps’ or being ‘in da club’ it pulls at the very cords of my existence and strives to pull a deeply disturbing philosophical response screaming from my lips to wash over the untold masses of humanity and purge their souls of the fibrous rot that has infected them. But that’s neither here not there, one cannot stop this corruption of one of the most deeply and primitively powerful forces in human culture.

I ask that you, yes, you the reader take a moment to listen to something more sophisticated than ‘we dont go nowhere without toast’…….it is the only way to pull back from the lacking existence that we have decided to inhabit. To quell any protests you may have, I am not suggesting that you stop listening to the crap that so many people enjoy for some unintelligible reason but that you add into you daily musical quota something more intelligent, Stairway to Heaven for instance or even In the Court of the Crimson King
