@stefp yes - I get it - SW himself doesn’t like it apparently - but is the way - he said. They will likely be a lot better in context.

@MitchWagner I would choke myself first - don’t worry.

@stefp loved first two tracks he pushed - the third totally grated on me - ‘Horrible’ is how I put on Reddit though I persevered anyway because sometimes I have not liked things he’s done - and then they did.

Bottom line - it is getting better but still not quite there.

What is really interesting is that what I didn’t like about it It was how amateur and out of tune it all sounded - certainly in the beginning. Then in an interview he talked about how he specifically had a rules through the sessions that instruments are to be played ‘as is’ - so maybe ‘not tuned’ … so whatever instrument was used at the time may or may not have been in tune.

I guess this track shows that philosophy in spades and is a response that fits into whatever the Broad arc of this album is about … blah blah blah … I don’t really know - but/and I am the 1st to say that whether I enjoy a new piece of music or art should not depend on me understanding the backstory, but here I am.

It’s also unclear how that untuned stance fits into the entire album - because without tuning - surely it just gets worse and worse.

@Mark_DuBois no idea how many ‘parties’ arrived - but total kid count here was SIXTY TWO. (Not at our place - but apparently a record for this establishment.)

@jean

I did not know that this New York-based writer, famous for groundbreaking works of criticism and philosophy such as Illness As Metaphor and On Photography, had chosen Montparnasse as her final address.

… as her final address …

what a lovely turn of phrase.

@manton oh how funny. I had assumed that it would take the built in ‘about’ automatically and first. Thanks for the headsup. Will stop worrying.
