All music is nonsense

Recent discussions and ruminations regarding crap/nonsense
topics has cast my discerning attention upon our favorite
creative tweaking of the senses: sound.

I mean, really, music is just a bunch of permutated air
pressure oscillations: why should it move us so much? Why
should we pay attention to this crappery? Are so frail and
simple that the aforementioned undulations can _really_
and--more importantly--plausibly affect me?

So I assert: all music is nonsense, we don't need any of it.
I ask you all to consider cessation of all acts of both
composition and appreciation.

A quick logic check will indicate that, by extension, all
forms of 'art' (another elaborate synonym for nonsense!) are
unnecessary, and hence I request you remove these to from
your life.

So, sell your collection, delete MAX from your computer,
and, in a moment of zen, kill yourself, aware of the fact
that it is all pointless anyway. Also in your moment of
zen, realize that "I'm glad it's friday" is a matter of true
pertinence to everything, whereas "craziest thread ever"
most definitely is _not_, for reason sublimely surpassing
arbitrary folly.

Friend, I cannot understand your post, for it is composed of
an arbitrary arrangement of letters and punctuatoin.

Furthermore, I do not understand this post I am writing -
there is truly no "I" to be found in the chaotic tangle of
nerves and muscles by which the illusion of fleetmouse is
perpetuated.

Dearest fleetmouse,
My apologies for assuming such a pretentious writing
style. It was done to highlight the fact that the entire
post is a satire; the target of the analogy is made clear in
the first and last paragraphs.

take care

I'm about to go have fun haggling down the price of a laptop
hard drive. Mine just chose to have a reading head death...
I did see your true intent and enjoyed the second paragraph
of your initial post greatly--please accept my apologies for
writing a stupid post with the selfish aim of thread
bumping. I most definitely enjoyed the joke on my joke,
silly!

I don't know why I like music. Or why I like this music more
than that music, yet somebody else feels differently. Not
even gonna bother trying to understand, or explain, it's
useless and nobody will ever know except God and his little
brother Jesus. The goo within our own respective skulls is
the only thing that really matters when it comes to this
stuff. No human will ever understand that goo.

Looks like what you have done is made a well reasoned
argument for an unseen spiritual dimension to reality that
is that way because it was designed that way ;)

hearing.

Did I ever show you my piece of burnt toast with an image of
Benny Hinn miraculously scorched into it?

how do you know it's a "sad theory" if you don't understand
much of the words used to explain it?

um, what I wrote isn't about music--that was just an
allegory. Most of my posts here have been about autechre
and how crazy I am about them so that should have been
obvious. The post is about xltronic ... sigh

Yeah, I mean, what the hell were those cave people thinking
in banging rocks together in rhythmic patterns? Get a clue,
cave-dwelling numbskulls.
