Some nice sentences to begin my day. Thanks Skip...
Seriously -- people complaining that their favorite artists should release certain stuff or not release certain stuff deserve what for.
Sorry but I think 99% of the music consumers do that in some way or another. You'll have to slap lots of people from now on. And I never used SHOULD. Maybe I WISHED would be closer.
I don;t think John Zorn feels the Masada music is over-exploited, and it's his to live with and deal with. As long as he feels that way and really goes for it when he makes it, it ain;t done yet. I don;t find this absurd. I think it's more absurd that someone is telling him he should maybe make another record in the style of THE GIFT.
I suggest you to read my paragraph again more carefully. I'm clearly saying that Zorn WOULD probably make more money out of an album in the style of THE GIFT! Dozens of people have expressed similar feelings about the Masada project here and nothing happened, Skip. Something personal maybe? And why are you so sure of what Zorn thinks? Some years ago he said it was his vehicle for playing sax again. The reasons seem to be quite different in 2003.
Who said anything about Holy grails? if you don;t like someone's output, don;t buy it.
holy grail because you say such obvious things with a tone of authority and solemnity that's pretty annoying. And I'm not talking about this disgusting thread only and neither about me only. Someone must have given you a pat on your shoulder at the wrong moment, I guess.
I respect Dave enough to know that I'd better keep an open mind as to what he's playing even if I don;t like it during the phase when I first hear it. I know better than to dismiss a Dave record whether or not I like it. I may say "I don;t get it", but I know more than to say "sucks". That's how I express respect.
Yes, you're so open minded that you're calling me stupid at the end of your e-mail with what you think is elegant irony. I already explained why I think "freak in" is a bad album. I don't need to justify myself anymore I think, at least with you.
As a consumer or fan, you're entitled to an opinion. But telling someone what they should be releasing -- especially someone like John zorn -- is jumping past an opinion and saying you know better than they do what they should be doing. And you don;t. None of us does. But HE does.
it's boring. Again, i never said what he SHOULD do.
And musically, I'm pretty qualified to discuss someone's technical resources on an instrument.
I don't know in your social environment, but here self-appraisal is not too nice.
"Probably"? What the fuck do you know about what I "probably" care about? Just because I have not made my opinions of, say, TIm Berne a matter of public discourse doesn;t mean I don;t know or care about him or his music. Just because I'm not typing my reaction to every artist mentioned on this list doesn;t mean I haven;t checked out the music.
I must express myself horribly or you don't get anything. If you're such an artistry-defendant, then do it all the time, and not only when someone talks about one of your untouchables, that's what I'm saying. You must be one of those who think that a writer who says good things about you is an informed, respectable, knowledgeable critic, and those who dislike your albums are totally illiterate, mental retarded wannabees to whom someone gave a pen by mistake.
We all know your command of the language, pee wee.
I don't understand the meaning/message of this sentence, sorry. Nor do I understand the meaning of "pee wee", but it's probably pejorative?
You're the only one who has ever accused me of being less than coherent.
That's exactly what I said, I never argued that.
I'll attribute it to that lack of command of English. I'd hate to think anyone could be that stupid, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Great. I'm stupid for thinking you've said something incoherent? That's a bit arrogant, man. And to be honest, I thought my command of English wasn't that terrible. Again, your reaction is TOTALLY OVER THE TOP.
