New Years Fodder for thought

There are too many restaurants playing bad music, way too loud.
I was in a restaurant a couple of days ago, and noticed why I was so relaxed.
No music.
No music, is preferable to loud bad music.
The more modern the music, the worse it tends to be.

Thanks for the link!

Agreed. Worse are shopping centres where every shop has its own idea of what you ought to be listening to and how loud, as they compete against the centreā€™s loud and offensive rubbish. Some shops go way above the legal decibels. Nightmare world.

Then thereā€™s the boom boxed vehicles in my neighborhood blaring sounds that rattle the front room windowsā€¦

A few decades ago I went to the bars to dance to rock n roll. Then they All changed to disco John Travolta style and ended my dancing days. I canā€™t imagine going to a concert where rap is playing and everyone is holding their phones up in the air moving them to a beat that I donā€™t get.
Tavistock and the CIA are years ahead in the arts department, they appreciate the influence of sight, sounds and emotions that we humans use to navigate life.
Being obese is the new you and reality tv (with a token trans gender in every group) is real life.

Lol, did we find a good use for the CIA after all? Making good music with amazing light shows and passing out the free hits! Lets not forget the experimentation with our minds using the Wall of Sound to bend the will.

Iā€™ll agree the music from then was much better. But, like you pointed out, directed by Tavistock and Esalen Institute, or if youā€™d rather, MI6 and CIA respectively. With this in mind i have become more selective with what i absorb from that time.

Random thoughts about music from then:
The Grateful Dead released a song ā€œRippleā€ on the album ā€œAmerican Beautyā€ in 1970. With the latest revelation about JFK and his intended trademark speech, concerning the Ripple technology in the latest '62 nuke test and 99.9% clean. I wonder if the dead, or Robert Hunter specifically, had any knowledge or just random chance? In '68 they released a song "Dark Star,"maybe referring to Nibiru?

I saw the Grateful Dead my 1st year in college at the CU campus. They passed out bags of pot from 3 big trash bags from the stage. I just listened to ā€˜Rippleā€™, itā€™s a beautiful song and wow, those words are an enigmatic message. I could see it being about the technology. They do send messages to each other in songs and false flag events. Remember David Bowie and his last song Dark Star. The star is associated with the Stellar cult.
Many of the bands actually come from royal dynasty bloodline cults still going strong. Some of the bands knew what they were actually promoting and some had no clue.

We agree, Robert ā€“ no music these days is better than all the loud crap weā€™re being served up. At least you can talk with your companions when there is no music. Lately, Iā€™ve been asking restauranteurs to turn down the volume, and even switch the music.

Not long ago, we went to a Japanese restaurant, that was playing that horrible globalist thumping entrainment crap. It was awful. I asked the server, please could she turn down the volume, and put on some nice traditional Japanese instruments. So we were treated to some beautifully relaxing koto music with bamboo flutes.

Good for you!
My wife and I love Japanese restaurants.
Traditional Japanese music really adds to the overall experience.

We were in a McDonalds and told them to turn to classic[they were playing radio].
They did.
We went back a week later, and the classic station was being played.
Wonders never cease.

That was a pleasant exception to the rule.

it will get progressively worse as increasingly more AI generated music becomes the norm for elevators and public spaces

we will soon reach a point where there the only humanly composed and performed music will be predominantly historic on vinyl and cd

That is great, Robert, that you are also giving feedback to restaurants, even to that awful (in my mind) McDonalds.

The more feedback they get, hopefully the more they will realise that they are serving their products to human beings who are affected by frequencies, and not to inanimate robots.

I think there is ā€œsomethingā€ profound behind the ideas of ā€œAffektenlehreā€ that Dr. Farrell presents in his books (and a few of the old blogs as well as the vidchats). I like this concluding point from Dr. Farrellā€™s blog post Private Prisons and Corporate (C)rap Music

ā€œArt, and music, are potent forms of mind manipulation and social engineeringā€¦ With enough exposure to ugliness, the soul becomes ugly.ā€

Musician and animal advocate, Will Tuttle, appreciated that blog article so much that he used that quote in his most recent book ā€œThe World Peace Wayā€ to illustrate a point about the importance for human beings to find ways of resisting ugliness in art and music (and food), and to embrace creativity and beauty in any ways that we can, to raise our souls to higher frequencies. (And for this, Robert, you are fortunate to be blessed with a wife who likes decorating, which you shared in a previous post, as that helps ground you in some visual beauty for part of your day.)

ā€¦ I took it as a sign of the end of days when in around 1995 ish I heard a 1001 Strings ā€œelevator musicā€ (and I donā€™t mean the Brian Eno kind of Elevator Music) version of Pink Floydā€™s Another Brick in the Wall Parts 1 and 2 in a convenience store.

And thereā€™s playing old disco tunes in grocery stores early in the morning. Guess itā€™s for the help to get them motivatedā€¦ me? I just remembered the old party days and the mornings afterā€¦but this time no hangoveršŸ˜‡.

I remember walking through a Mall, geez who remembers those, hearing a sting orchestra playing something vaguely familiar in the background. I even began to subconsciously hum the tune in my head before actively realizing i was humming ā€œComfortably Numb.ā€ I froze for a second not realizing if i was just getting old, or if something was truly wrong with the world!
