GUISSEPPE PIZZAPIE posted:I don't think it is. Music is a form of expression and while many musicians draw influence from a variety of places, I don't think it is a requirement. I think listening to music all the time is dull and, honestly, so is performing/creating it half of the time. I think people who say you have to listen to music to perform it are either a.) overstating the influence of other music in their own or b.) imitators using music as a way of "fitting in" which I have distaste for. I, however, understand that everyone is an individual and approach life/music in different ways so that I cannot say for certain why one person does this while another does that. Of course, what do you define as listening to music? At work there's always bland pop music in the background that I can't stand and thus tune out and when I'm at practice/out at shows I hear music too. I'm more saying listening to it when you're, say, in the car, at the gym, showering, laying at home on your bed or couch etc etc. Those are the times where I find myself never listening. I think it's because I have trouble not actually doing stuff, you know what I mean? I am a chef but I don't like eating at restaurants. I write code but I don't use the internet. I am a clothing designer but I don't follow fashion. I am a painter but I don't go to museums. Like to me it's not even about influence, it's about expanding your knowledge base. Sure, you can practice and practice but unless you're actually studying the art you make, your artistic growth is gonna be pretty slow. And I'm not saying you have to always be consuming, but to say "the only music I really want to listen to is the stuff I make" just doesn't make sense to me.

We expand our knowledge base by both study and experience. I elect to prioritize the latter, you elect to prioritize the former and in both cases it is because of our personal preferences in leisure activity. I'm a vocalist - I can do crazy things with my voice but at the end of the day there are human limitations and I've found that I enjoy the music I make far, far more when I ad lib it and get something that feels good rather than something formulaic or something similar to a part of a song I liked. It also matters why you do music and there are so many reasons to make it that it'd be silly trying to list them. Many of those things don't require other music as something to springboard off of. Knowledge is well and good, but how much of that is relevant to your own music? Only as much as you let it be. I think music will be good or bad (insofar as that delineation has any meaning) independent of that. I think your comparisons are bad, too, btw - A clothing designer should be trying to create new fashions rather than conforming to current ones and painters should be focused on their own message rather than the messages of their colleagues because painting, like music, is primarily about expressing oneself.

Poison Mushroom posted:I don't feel like reading back 100 pages. Why are we care spiting LUTR? Oh the "carespite" was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, we were talking about talking about libertarians and how heartless and uncaring people are, necessitating having the wise generous politicians tax and spend their money for them, and LUTR said: Look Under The Rock posted:NO this is not how the world works and any program that actually does anything for poor people will be drastically underfunded because for real, if you no longer have to pay taxes, what percent of your income are you going to voluntarily give to Planned Parenthood, homeless shelters, literacy programs? How many people do you think are actually going to put that tax break back into their communities rather than buying a better car/improving their home/drinking more craft beer? It doesn't loving happen. And I'm especially happy to donate to women's health today, because I just discovered today that the author of all those gay detective books is actually a woman writing under a gay male pen name. If taxes were less, my family could and would be even more charitable, and I think that people in general would too. Maybe I'm just one of those naive bleeding heart libertarians though.

chiming in late to say it is not Reids fault. Something could have broke open and a big play could have happened, and running is the safest way to exploit that possibility. JC should have died before letting that ball touch the ground. Like if there isn't a play go down, and hug the ball like its your dying grandma

He's not exactly an impenetrable giant, he's an elusive small body back. Give it to a thumper, drat.

i think the important thing to remember is that, at the end of the game, whichever team has scored enough footballs into the goal wins.

Honestly it's nobody's fault but Jamaal's. The fumble shouldn'tve happened, but it did, and the Broncos defense was playing great for most of the 4th quarter. It was a huge, crazy bummer, but whatever.

I've worked in charity fundraising, I know from lots of experience that most people give just a tiny bit so they can excuse themselves from giving anything more. You can tell this because most people just give to 'charity', they don't know or care which charity they're giving to, they don't connect with any particular cause, they just give because they feel like giving is something they're supposed to do and then justify to themselves why they don't need to feel bad for not giving more.
