Another wonderful day for the British military MoD drone crashed into tree quote:A £6m military drone crashed after it landed beyond its planned touchdown point and hit a tree, a Ministry of Defence (MoD) report has revealed. Obviously it was actually an alien craft. They can't fool us.

Julio Cruz posted:not to have a massive go at you but everyone I've met who's ever said that is basing it on an infinitesimally small sample The vast majority of instrumental music, classical or modern, doesn't do much for me as anything other than background music. I can appreciate the quality, and I can enjoy it if I'm doing something else at the same time, but I can't just sit down and listen to it in a concert hall without getting bored. For some reason as soon as there's a voice involved I'm interested again, so from that 500 years, folk songs, choral music and opera are enjoyable for me in a way that an entirely instrumental symphony just...isn't. All my favourite pieces of music, I can pinpoint a specific thing about the lyrics, whether that's a particular theme they talk about, a single line or couplet with an interesting turn of phrase, an intense emotion the song evokes, or just the mystery of what the words actually mean. There's also something I just find fun about learning the words to a song, even in a language I don't speak. In that sense, an instrumental piece doesn't give me much to grasp onto; I can't learn the song if there's no song.

If you have the BBC sounds app, search for a show called ‘How to listen’ which eases novices into classical music, explains the themes and what’s going on. Maybe a good entry point.

Classical music chat: You're reminding me of a boyfriend I once had. He was always trying to impress me (god knows why because he was entirely gorgeous and I just liked looking at him but I digress). He was plucking out a tune on his guitar which he said he was composing for me. Then he said "Of course, I was classically trained." Now, I'm from one of those 'impoverished intellectual' backgrounds where we were all forced to do violin and piano lessons as kids. (I enjoyed piano and loathed violin). So instead of being suitably impressed, my youthful, ignorant, response was "isn't everyone?" (At that time in my young, innocent life I had never come across people who hadn't been forced through this process). Oh dear.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Classical music chat: Here's something that touches on about half a dozen different chats that have been lively in previous threads, as well as classical music and camp: quote:Here I offer a personal view on the distinction between camp, kitsch and trash. Now, I'm no student of kitsch, which lately has become an area of some academic interest, and doubtless many of the great minds in humanities departments have investigated the matter in much greater depth and length than I. So I ask the reader to forgive me for the lack of citations in this article, and my general ignorance of the current state of research, as I tread into this rarefied intellectual ground. It is not my intention to barge into the realm of kitsch theorists, or to cut across the various schools of camp theory, or to offer anything which rivals the latest sound and complete theory of trash. This is merely the offering of a humble layman.

Strom Cuzewon posted:This seems a lot of words for "things I like are good, things I don't like are bad" Something that aims low and delivers low (trash) can be enjoyable as hell, something that aims low and delivers high (camp) can be fun too, but they are qualitatively different things. Like with Alien vs. Aliens or The Terminator vs. T2 in previous threads, people always argue over ranking them because they're completely different genres with the same title and lead stamped on them.

I guess I don't fully understand anything that calls 2001 camp - it's incredibly po-faced and serious. I always interpret camp as having some aspect of being tongue-in-cheek or salacious, like True Blood. And I'd say your definition of trash (and whoever it is you quoted) is way more applicable to the Kitsch column (nearly all of which are enjoyable) than the trash column (which are just ghastly) Also the list is written as a joke rather than to illustrate the point, as Empire Strikes back and the Schumacher batmans (batmen?) are much closer to opera than anything in the Camp column.
