Way too "programmable (by idiots) muzak", for me.
I'll stick with Ponchiellian hippopotomi[^]

What do you have against programmable music? Floppotron[^] is awesome 
|

I don't like programmed painting or books written by computers, either.
That ain't what computers are for, but they're great news for the lazy and untalented.
If you want to produce art, you work at it for years -- decades, even. You don't download an app to do it for you.

So everybody´s work that does not meet your requirements of art is an idiot´s work? really?
ok, i like it being an idiot.
i´d rather be an idiot instead of being ignorant and snotnosed...
No offence...

Be as personally insulting as you like, and feel free to feel insulted by simple truths, but art is art, and guys who spend half an hour knocking up repetitive junk with a computer cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be defined as artists.
Technicians? Sure. But it no more art than a washing machine is.
Maybe if you'd spent half your life learning to play an instrument, paint, sculpt, or write well, you'd appreciate that -- and feel the same kind of disgust when some snot-nosed kid says that his CG garbage is art.
How do you feel when script kiddies tell you that they're great software developers?

Sorry, but if you´d listened to the complete mix, you might had recognized, that it includes a lot of vocal from some very talented singers, which has absolutely nothing to do with repetitive junk.
this music was composed in the same way as one would compose music for a cello and piano...
btw, mike oldfield knocks up electric music since the early seventies, by your definition he is nothing more than a musicrelated "script kiddy"!?
sorry, but that´s ridiculous...
and, lastly, to quote myself:
Myself wrote: a music tip for everybody who likes electronic music...

Oldfield is a musician -- and you can bet your life that computers weren't used to compose Tubular bells.
An electronic instrument is not a computer; it's an instrument.

mike used the fairlight cmi in the eighties (also peter gabriel, kate bush, frank zappa et al), so in that point i correct my statement...
apart form that, again, if you don´t like the music, simply don´t listen to it.
another simple truth... -.-

One of my favorite bass solos is in the song "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo", performed by Victor Wooten in the band Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. He plays a fretless five-string bass and that song can give a subwoofer a really good workout.

I'll give that one a listen.

Not my cup of tea but it was listenable (if that's a word) much prefer this:-
Primus - Southbound Pachyderm - YouTube[^]
It has elephants AND rhinos AND hippos - and also features (Mark Wallace) real instruments and a great video

in fact i never heard of them, but indeed:
cool music and great video...

Do you know how hard is the open the clenched fist of a 22 years old - mentally ill - child, who got into an extreme mood about some cookies?
That fist was holding the hair of my daughter... Two was sitting on him and we had to have to open each finger one-by-one... We were six... And we all strong - around 100 Kg - grown men... He just was beyond any pain...
She went to sleep crying...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Not on the same level... my daughter is autistic; when she has a meltdown episode, its hard to get her out of it... you just have to wait for the electrical storm in her brain to subside.
Then, the storm shorted short term memory and she doesn't remember it.

We are living in a settlement specially built around a school for mentally ill - some autistic too - with the purpose to integrate them with 'normal' people, by teaching them things and giving them opportunity to work and self managed life...
My kids are talking to those people without second thought, living wit them, celebrating with them... Just like any community...
It was the ever first time we experienced such an attack (we had other cases of burst, but no violent outcome)...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Adrenaline has just that effect. When you are scared or feel threatened, the body produces Adrenaline which makes you feel less pain and temporarily allows you to use your full strength to fight or flee. Normally that lasts only a short time, but in this case the 'safeties' might be off and the result much stronger.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I know! Stoopink question. But, yes, I've looked.
Basically, I have a tip/trick I want to share which isn't enough for an article. So how do I do that?

Not that hard, eh?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Nope. Funny I had just found it there.
