I believe that it's time to feel music again. To feel it like people felt it in the forest, you know, like, before electricity corrupted everybody. I believe it's a tribal thing. And it can feel, and it can take you to places that you couldn't have arrived at otherwise. People try to downplay art like it's entertainment, when really it's magic. It's magic that came from the caves millions of years ago and people try to make it small, but really it's the highest thing that we can aspire as humans: to try to communicate feelings and emotions to each other. And maybe make us feel like we're a little less alone and this is some play where we can go out and mutilate. No. It's real and I think expressing emotions in art helps each other understand that we're all real. its not like your play that you're starring in and you can do whatever you want. So when we express emotions to each other I think it's a very powerful thing and its not to be made small.

What a sweet fucking quote. I like Dax even more now. He is one of them people who makes you "feel."
 
yeah I found that earlier searching for any interviews between the last album and the new one

really gives you better insight what he's going for when you hear it.

Fucking great. I kinda feared it would be some trendy dude and I would have to eat my words to regain lost underground credibility, but Acid Bath FUCKING KICKS INSANE AMOUNTS OF ASS. They always struck me as very real and unique and the lyrics & their delivery makes me shiver

I've learned of this concept from R.A. Wilson I believe

and I'm sorta rusty on the point he was making at the time, but i remember the general foundation, about the whole exponential rate at which intelligence is exploding

thousands and thousands of years without much progress

then down to hundreds with little changes

then big things came in decades

and up to the point now where its BAM BAM BAM new inventions/theories/etc

I'm too lazy to come to conclusions here, make up your own

OR read some books by Robert Anton Wilson, I think that's the real point of this post

yes, do you guys realize that the Industrial Revolution happened about 100 years ago? ... and before then ... well ... not much happened.

it is really frightening, if we keep going at this speed in advancing, of what will happen to the human race.

and as far as NAD's theory ... maybe ... if the person is a "rocker", if it is a "hobby" more so than just a "music in the background" person.

but really to this day I am surprised for example how many people in their twenties tell me that they have never seen a live concert for example.

wtf am i talking about? :loco:
 
reminds me of the time in high school history class, every day we had a quote on the board to discuss, and one day there was this quote and the teacher was like "OH NOES this time you DISCUSS FIRST and THEN I tell you who said it"

so the quote was very cheaply psuedo intellectual but it got a few people off on its "brilliance"

and then the teacher was like

HAR HAR IT'S MARILYN MANSON

and the kids were like OH NO YOU DIDNT

this is so true ... for example, the DM show last night, I was not "feeling" it ... maybe as I was not particularly angry, but rather tired and lethargic from a long day.

before going home, hit my favorite place to hang, its this lounge that plays world music, live or dj ... well last night they had a DJ that played this particulary hypnotic tribal beat jam and there was a live tall gorgeous violin player that added just enough accents to make the whole thing like .... woaweewee ... if I was on a date it and would have added some alcohol in the mix .. .it would have been like score time for sure :loco: ... the "feel" magic was right there in this musical soundtrack ...

+ i remember this more so than any song from the DM show ... weird.
 
I don't think having a more advanced understanding of music automatically makes you more creatively inclined, no matter how much art you absorb it can't be transferred without some talent originating from within. But recognizing the difference between art and entertainment is necessary to elevate oneself against the status quo, and I take pity upon those who show no initiative towards exploring music or any other art that isn't spoonfed to them. And to save yourself from being really fucking boring. :)

i gauge the start of the "real" industrial revolution by the invention of the assembly line and the first Ford that rolled off of it ... really Henry Ford is to blame for all this shit.
