I Sense The World Might Be More

I've Been Asking Myself: 'why Put Together These Things - Cds, Albums?' The Answer I Came Up With Is, Well, Sometimes It's Artistically Viable. It's Not Just A Random Collection Of Songs. Sometimes The Songs Have A Common Thread, Even If It's Not Obvious Or Even Conscious On The Artists' Part.

Something About Music Urges Us To Engage With Its Larger Context, Beyond The Piece Of Plastic It Came On-it Seems To Be Part Of Our Genetic Makeup That We Can Be So Deeply Moved By This Art Form. Music Resonates In So Many Parts Of The Brain That We Can't Conceive Of It Being An Isolated Thing.

Deep Down, I Know I Have This Intuition Or Instinct That A Lot Of Creative People Have, That Their Demons Are Also What Make Them Create.

Maybe This Is All A Bit Of A Myth, A Willful Desire To Give Each Place Its Own Unique Aura. But Doesn't Any Collective Belief Eventually Become A Kind Of Truth? If Enough People Act As If Something Is True, Isn't It Indeed "true," Not Objectively, But In The Sense That It Will Determine How They Will Behave? The Myth Of Unique Urban Character And Unique Sensibilities In Different Cities Exists Because We Want It To Exist.

Ninety Percent Of All Music Is Always Crap, And When Too Many People Decide They're Going To Have Guitar Bands, Then Ninety Percent Of Them Are Going To Be Crap. It's Just A Given Law.
