How do you feel about getting old? I find it akward, that i listen to the same music (IDM, house, techno etc.) than people who are 15 years younger than me. This doesn't seem right... |

the good news of getting old is u die and dont have 2 worry about that stuff anymore |

Getting old sucks a bit, it's weird to know you're getting closer to death..I do listen to more easy listening music nowadays then when I was young..I used to listen much more to break core, hardcore, noise..etc. I guess that is because I'm getting older..man I even sound like my dad right now..haha |

Music wise I still feel like one cool mother fucker, even though I try to listen with an open mind, and not just to feel like one cool mother fucker. Priorities have changed, habits less so. I think about mortality more often nowadays. I don't want to die. I want to die. It's a cruel joke, and most of us could give a fuck, and that's kinda sad. Because when you're in the life for such a brief amount of time, but long enough to experience so much, living it for yourself seems weak if you are not making a significant contribution to humanity in the process |

At least I won't have to feel surrounded by idiots once it's all over. I swear to god most people are so fucking impulsive and egocentric. They might have great experiences, and some very admirable characteristics, but they still fall prey to their sense of privilege |

I'm turning 33 this year. Luckily, I am exactly the person I wanted to be when I was 19. Unluckily, I am turning 33 this year. If I can plan right this decade for my 50's, then I'll be a badass 50 year old, instead of a badass 30-something year old who is aged 50 something. That being said, I'm the healthiest I've been in my life, generally, so that's a plus. I am actually about 25- DNA "age" wise. But my mind is getting ancient, because I am just getting sick of this world. "Spread the Love", etc., though. Spread THE LOVE. |

When you're nearing 40, you are old as FUCK. Any hunter gatherer of your age would be dead by now as they should be to pave way for younger, more vigorous, more seminal life with firmer buttocks. You would have probably been eaten by a saber tooth tiger years ago or had your skull crushed by a fellow hominid with a rock. But your fate won't be so swift and just, you will fizzle out slowly and painfully, growing weak in mind body and spirit. Soon the only time other people will acknowledge your presence is out of pity + social requirements such as birthday where they will visit only because they have to then want to leave as soon as possible, which is similar to how they treated you your whole life which also means you will slowly decay without even having any good memories to look back on. You will just become an emptier and emptier shell until time rolls over you and leaves your wrinkly husk covered bones to be sucked into the earth's fiery center with tectonic drift until the earth is sucked into a black hole and the whole universe implodes. All that will occur instantly after you die since you will no longer perceive time with no brain. |

That sort of happened in the movie 'looper'. It was an ok movie, I pirated it on the pirate bay because the artificial economic implosion and new world order shutting down all non-insider competition and grassroots transaction possibilities made me too poor to buy it. Even google is shutting down email with gmail because they know people can try to conduct transactions with eachother under the rader of their mega corporate ecommerce tyrannies. So if any of your emails have words like 'payment' and 'ship' in them, gmail will send them to spam folders, to shut down that avenue so you have to buy form their company stores instead, I mean for teh safety of the children. Plus the new world order is the main group running the pirate bay in the first place, so they want you to use it to make sure nobody can make money creating anything digital since they are all available 'free'. Audition is a better movie though, also there is this movie called tetsuo where a guy turns into a machine, I haven't seen it yet. |

I've heard around age 28 is when the body is most proportional (mirroring a period of adolescence around age 8-9 where the same is true). However, men continue to gain muscle mass into their 30s. Personally I'm shooting for a peak around . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fanCHWsmSq4 |

That was shit, predictable and boring. You're a dumb old fuck. I know crazone is some fanboy but peeps.... i can see the the little stream between us getting river-like. Whatever. I was hoping this place doesn't die on the 15th but now i think it's about time something happened to stop me coming back here. Yes, i've been weak. My small addiction has to end. 12 years... fuck! <3 |

Hunter gatherers can still live a long time, there are San bushmen that get to 80 or more. It's just less common because of infant mortality and injuries and shit |

Yeah well I always thought you were a bit twat for liking Gorillaz. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

Gosh i was in a foul mood there. Sorry my darling. And you know i hate Gorillaz! I listened to the new Albarn album though the other week and the track "Everyday Robots" is quite nice. A lot of the album is a bit bland though. |

well i can't believe it's almost 10 years ago since Untilted was released. as far as getting old, i feel a lot better now than i used to. it wasn't until around 2011 when i began to feel my mind change drastically and i was more creative and had a better handle on things. i will miss the chaotic 20s though, but they were ultimately too unstable to use as a foundation. it was more of a learning period with lots of lessons |

Well it's just over 20 years since ae released incunabula and almost 20 since ICBYD. It was OK to like Gorillaz in the early 2000s. Dr. Octagon, handsome boy and all of that was big and it was related through dan and del. It got stupid later though.. |

If you are a deity that administers punishments, then I am actually qrter in a w M w mask. You should listen to this I guess, since I thought it was made by you: Since you're a music teacher, say I'm playing the simplest mainstreamest novice child song on a piano in 'c major' (white keys only starting on c). So I start in the chord c (c e g). I have found by trial and error that I can play any white key except key 'a' while in this chord. c e g b d f, listed in order of how frequently they can be played. Like not too many 'f's but a lot of c/e/gs. My question is when I move up to say, the g chord (while still playing the same song, just the next cord of the same song that cegbdf was playing in) (g b d), and assuming this is a simple childlike obvious song, are the 'correct' notes to play: g b d f a c (no es), all white keys? Some people have told me that when you move to the next chord you start shifting to using black keys. Its no use someone tells me a different conflicting rule every time, I already know about the 'steps' of the major scale, and like c f and g are the main chords to use (1/4/5). |

Damn, this is beeyooteefull: |

The major scale uses a set pattern of tones and semitones, which is this: tone tone semitone tone tone tone semitone -- C major is the only major scale that uses white keys only. When you start the major scale on G you will find that instead of an F natural (the white key) you will need to hit the black key a semitone higher which will be F-sharp for the purposes of that scale :) |

Btw the organ music track isn't me, but the YouTube video is - glad you enjoyed it! :) |
||||||||

But... isn't it normal for a WHOLE SONG to be in say 'c major' (white keys) even though there are C chords, F chords and G chords throughout the song? When you change chord MID-SONG, you seriously restart the entire scale on that chord's key? Like you don't keep using only white keys in a song of c major, when a g chord (in the c major song) comes along? Is it something retarded involving symantics like "oh yes you do only use white keys, but its not called a "major" chord anymore". I'm pretty sure it sounds pretty lame if you transpose every single key an equal number of steps to change to any other chord, which makes every chord a major chord. I'll never understand this stuff, you obviously can play, but then someone else will give me opposite contradicting advice right after you. I remember reading music theory pages that do say basically white keys only when switching to a g chord in a c major song. |

Oh sorry I didn't realise you meant the diatonic chords (the triads naturally found within a scale). In that case, if you added an F to the G chord (to create a G7 chord), then it would remain an F natural and wouldn't be sharpened - the adding of the F to the G chord helps to reinforce the feeling that C is the 'home' key. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Well diatonic is proving to be a useful search term. So say I'm composing simple twinkle little star type obvious novice music in the key of c major (white keys). I think the DIATONIC TRIADS are simple every other white key. CEG DFA EGB FAC GBD ACE BDF. However those are just triads (3). I want to play additional notes beyond merely 3, so is it true that when I am playing the diatonic ACE triad (in a c major song), I should play accompanying white keys only (for an obvious simple song)? No black keys, just stick with the 7 notes of the c major scale, regardless of which diatonic triad you are in? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well that is the safest thing to do and will keep you firmly in the key of C major -- beyond that lie the modes and the blues notes (which are the flattened 3rd, 5th and 7th degrees of the scale - flattened just means taken down by a semitone). |
