mused @ 3:11 PM
when the lights dim, the smoke clouds your vision and the alcohol becomes your fuel.
i always held the idea that one should go to clubs and bars to enjoy the music, rather then grind. it is the one place you can let loose and enjoy the music to the beat; rather than do it in your rather un glam household.
of course, the clubs are not holding that notion. they want you to spend on the drinks. hence the playing for rhythm and blues music and hip-hop, which increasingly does not make sense anymore. the poor lyrics, the shouting for the sake of shouting and the sexual undertones. there was a time when hip-hop told a meaningful story and rhythm and blues was beautiful.
of course my first love is electronica. but if i had to make do, rhythm and blues would be like red label whiskey, where electronica is gold label. it still gives you a high, but you will not enjoy it as much.
some of you may contest me that electronica is just noise. but if you listen carefully, the chords, the purpose of each beat and synthesizer piece in it and how it melds together beautifully, it makes more sense than some hip-hop tracks with its looping background and idiotic lyrics.
the people do not understand the music. all they need is an outlet, but that in turn degrades the purpose of music. from a time that mozart played in europe's greatest concert halls, to when the cha-cha, waltz and tango reigned, clubbing is now a pathetic excuse when someone says they go there for the music. more likely the skin more then anything else. would a clubber pay the same amount to go to a concert hall to listen to classical music?
and i do go for the music if you were wondering. why would i want to pick up anyone with illegal limits of ethanol in one's body, whose judgement could be severely impaired, to be with for the rest of my life? and yes, i would gladly visit a orchestra and pay the same amount for a classical performance.
but the company makes up for the poor music. so i will not rant anymore on mos on thursdays.
