I remember this one time, the C said something like "1 new message" and I got fooled into thinking someone gave a crap. that was great :')
... and mean.
The CM.O C, you really are the most underrated guy in the chipscene.
Thank you for your years of service, boldly proclaiming snarky quips no one else has the balls to shout.
I dig.
It's hard because we're not here to make enemies and many of us create music to relax or entertain, but there's always room for a little risky behavior.
I guess that's my point. Most musical composers and producers since forever have been creating to relax or entertain others and themselves. I don't see many in chip having different motivations that that. Which is okay with me. There is totally a place and time for it, and that's most places and most times.
Most of the music I choose to attend live (that isn't chip) is hardcore/punk. Its a different place that most others, a different motivation. Making statements shouldn't make enemies, you know? If the person making the statement is reasonable (which is increasingly rare), then it shouldn't be contentious as much as it should create positive dissonance.
Maybe that's the two big differences:
Does our music offer the opportunity to create cognitive harmony, the reinforcing of cultural values?
Or does our music offer the opportunity to create cognitive dissonance, the questioning of cultural values?
I think a lot about these sort of things, and I might be taking this conversation in a different direction than intended
There were a lot of people in my timeline looking forward to a new era of politically charged anger music a few weeks ago, and it had me listening to Midnight Oil and XTC again. If you want to be the one who brings that back, you certainly have my support.
man, I've thought so much about what chip stands for. More specifically, I've thought about from what I've seen, heard, and talked directly to people, what are we really getting out of it and why are we doing it.
I think very few are trying to make statements about what's going on, globally, locally or personally.
you best not be sleepin.
