The musical resemblance most often mentioned is: Mr. Bungle wiki Mike Patton wiki John Zorn wiki One of a multitude of significant influences on both Darth Vegas and Mr. Bungle:

"Saint-Saëns was a prodigy polymath from whom music flowed effortlessly. Symphonies, concertos, chamber works, opera – there was seemingly nothing he couldn’t turn his hand to. 1886 witnessed the single greatest success of his career, as his epic Third ‘Organ’ Symphony thundered its way around the globe. That same year he composed a ‘grand zoological fantasy’ in 14 movements, scored for two pianos, string quartet, double bass, flute, clarinet, glockenspiel, xylophone, and glass harmonica/celesta, which sprang from the opposite end of the musical spectrum: The Carnival of the Animals. Saint-Saëns was so worried about the harm this plaisanterie might do to his reputation as a serious composer, that after two private performances he placed it under lock and key where it remained until after his death." https://www.classical-music.com/features/recordings/best-recordings-saint-sa-nss-carnival-animals/ "A last word of praise must go to the blissfully surreal artwork, as French as anything in the music." -- Gramophone review

I respect that this is an honest, heartfelt expression of your situation, and that you love classical music and find perhaps deep solace in it.

This is brilliant, and relevant to this discussion, I think. It is from Plato's Phaedrus and it's a good translation. Unfortunately, what Paul McGowan extrapolates from this (Hands on) doesn't work as a reading of the text. Paul would have to show how he gets here and he would find that it is not where Plato is going. This also is all too typical of the instant social media culture. Plato is pointing out a potential danger of some approaches to reading that short-circuit the kind of internal and external dialogue and dialectic in thinking through something thoroughly enough to make it your own and really get it and retain it. The best thing I've read about how an analogous scenario arises in a digital culture is in this book: For a more accessible interview with the author: Transcript: Ezra Klein Interviews Maryanne Wolf Postscript apropos of nothing: PS Audio Merch Store: My present hat: reminds me of a recent forum exchange in album of eve, that would go like this: Snickering Guy with Audiophile Hat to me: "Do you really own that hat? Do you actually wear it? Honestly, do you genuinely like it? Lol, do you think it's cool or that it is actually tasteful? Do you think it's appropriate for this occasion?" Me: "WTF, dude, are you the fucking fashion police? Take a hit off this and look again. Or not, whatever. BTW, I'm not actually a member of your club. I love, love, love me some musiks, but the canonical tribalism is so booooooring!" 🙃

Source of quotation I was able to trace this to the likely late 19th century source, who was no authority by any stretch. Where he found it might be more interesting but quite tedious to research. But this kind of thing in meme culture is not uncommon, and it is or has been a very contagious meme in social media. AI may very well compound problems like this. Too much human trust?

got this on loop 😈

Word. My initial response would need to be heavily redacted. ...for security reasons, of course. The redacted version: Q1-4: Yes. Q.5: complex question.let me just say I've posted over a hundred early Western medieval chant recordings here, not knowing if anyone would care to explore, without expectation. I never once received a response like this. Since Mr. Connaker upvoted lving's post, I'd like to ask both of them: how much did you listen to and why did you stop listening? Did you give it a chance? If not, why not? Did you enjoy anything about it? What did you dislike and why? Is there nothing to appreciate musically here, or does this simply foreground your own person tastes and distastes, and musical biases? This thread is a good place for these kind of responses to an album, and remains on topic. I am only offering this off-topic response because the moderator upvoted the post, so either sincerely wishes a response here, or simply wants to support a challenge to my tastes and perhaps personal integrity ( the questions suggest that my post, and perhaps my posts plural, are disingenuous). I suggest responding or following this up with a PM , or continue in another thread. So if this is a sincere inquiry, it is incumbent upon one of you to initiate this follow-up elsewhere and in a timely fashion. I'll leave you with the first album I ever purchased, at age 14, and listened to all 4 sides continuously recently. Funny, at the time I bought it, some people had a similar attitude and some similar questions to a what I find here. (One of the record companies that rejected the Mothers cited "no commercial potential" as the reason. 🤠 )
