Sound of the Week

Cao White - Hai Domo[^] Spotify randomly played this a couple of weeks ago. Forgot the name and couldn't find it again, until this week. No idea what she's saying, but her flow and beat are fire. I can't find anything on Cao White, it seems she (they?) only have this one track on both YouTube and Spotify. I do have reason to believe she's also Coa White though, mostly because I misspelled and it sounds pretty much the same. Coa White is Korean though, and I'm pretty certain those lyrics are Japanese. We might never know. Anyway, sound of the week! :D

Cheers Sander. Took a listen but not my thing. Impressed by your knowledge of languages though.

Is there any music you do not care for? I am willing to bet my fortune in 100y/10y/1y no one will know who whatever her/his/its' name is or her/his/its' music. "flow" "beat"? Sounds like all other instances of the genre which as near as I can discern is more or less similar if not identical to rap a genre of music I consider the least original creative varied etc. which occasionally requires spitting into microphone and grabbing one's crotch or is that another genre. If anyone develops AI to perform music analysis I believe these comments would be verified by same.

I generally don't care for punk, (metal) hardcore, power metal and most (hard) rock. Other than that I enjoy a lot of music genres :D

That tells me more about you than about the music genre(s) ;)

There is a distinction I have difficulty separating i.e. to wit in particular to be specific quality/enjoyment. If something is not of high quality which I assume can somehow be determined though I am not certain how except via the passage of time I have difficulty imagining enjoying same. I am attempting to recall music I enjoy which I also do not consider high quality as judged by myself and consensus but am failing.

The average party song comes to mind. They're often not that great, but they need to be simple and you need to be able to jump to them. They can give you joy and pleasure without being all that great. Sometimes, simple is just what you need. Same goes for an average pop song, easy to listen to, can be quite enjoyable. On the other hand, I know plenty of high quality music that I don't like. Dream Theater, for example (someone shared that today, so it came to mind). I can hear that the music is technically complex and that the musicians are great at their instruments, yet I don't like it. Ultimately, a lot comes down to taste.

Re/ the average pop song I find such intolerable. Such belongs in a category I refer to as "mashed potato music" i.e. nothing you can sink your teeth into. I accept we each find enjoyment/pleasure in different ways but as for quality I do not accept variation as I assume an objective measure exists probably the passage of time. Re/ "Dream Theater" I gave them a listen for the first time per your mention. As it turns out I have heard them many times before. In 100y no one will recall them of that I am certain. It was not even toe-taping.

Had me tapping my toes, which is good, although it seems rather nonsensical. For this week: An old Deadmau5 song (not the Kascade one you've posted, unless I've missed it): [deadmau5 - Rio (Extended Edit)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhRNX\_zLAhs). (It feels like I've mentioned this before?) And something new for me: [Hardwell - PACMAN](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF-0ghc\_nXk&list=RDCLAK5uy\_kLWIr9gv1XLlPbaDS965-Db4TrBoUTxQ8&index=7)

I think you couldn't be further from the truth. For example, Dream Theater is very well respected by the rock and metal community and by the guitar, bass, synth, vocalist and drummer communities, for their song writing and technicality (and they've been doing so for over 25 years!). If critics, fans and peers hold them in such high esteem they must be doing something right, yet you dismiss it as "not even toe tapping." Sounds like this probably just isn't your taste, but that doesn't change the "objective quality." Now let's look at "passage of time", as you mention. Have you heard of Louis Spohr? He was a classical and romantic composer, highly regarded in his lifetime. Yet no one remembers him now. At the same time, Johann Sebastian Bach wasn't considered as the best in his lifetime (I think he was just "good"), yet everyone knows him today. So why then is a genius like Spohr not remembered, yet Bach is? One of the things that certainly didn't help was that some of Spohr's music was banned by the nazi regime during WWII. There are many such examples of composers who are forgotten even though they were considered brilliant in their lifetime (and still are by fans and critics alike). Let's take it a bit more recent, everyone knows Elvis "The King" Presley. No doubt he'll be remembered for many more decades to come. But is his music really so great? It's not technical, especially when comparing it to Bach, Spohr, or even Dream Theater. Mind you, that all those classical composers were also only just following the musical rules that existed in those days, they just had more notes (I'm oversimplifying, but it's not far from the truth). And Mozart could not have composed an Elvis song, so who is really brilliant here? So "quality" is not the same as "technical". Elvis did something new, something that wasn't heard before, and it moved people (literally and figuratively). The same goes for The Beatles, and many bands from those days. The fun thing is that for all those bands there were nay-sayers (not unlike yourself) who dismissed it as garbage and noise. Music, and art in general, is highly subjective. You can rate it by some more or less objective measures, like composition and instrument handling, but you can't rate the emotions it stirs in a particular person, and that's what art is all about. Furthermore, art is highly dependent on conte

Re/ Dream Theater I listened to all the offerings on their web site. None were catchy. They reminded me of Grateful Dead which a co-worker many years ago espoused endlessly and attempted unsuccessfully to convince me were pleasurable to listen to.
