The wanting of change within ourselves does not always correspond with our ability or willingness to make it so, even if we know our suffering is self-caused. That's the truth for so many people. Those who do not understand this are blessed, at least for a while.

Blessed with the promise of deep disruption inevitably down the line isn't so blessed to me but I know what you mean, ignorance is bliss for the time being
but the time of compensation occurs soon enough
if you, or rather I, wanted to get metaphysical about it, all suffering is "self-caused".
The missing factor here is memory.

I could give reasons why I like those musicians. I discovered Joanna Newsom when I was in middle school and it took me a long time to actually get into her whole discography but she always stuck with me even when the artists I liked were changing. She's one of the most technically proficient musicians I've ever heard and perhaps the greatest poet of our generation. I listen to her only maybe a couple times a month but she's still one of my favorites.

As for Death Grips, well, they slowly grew on me. I still haven't listened to a lot of their discography because so much of it is hectic. But I appreciate their violence, creativity, primal sort of energy, etc. I always come back to them out of curiosity and find something new I like. But once again, I listen to them pretty rarely. They demand a certain headspace. Usually for me, it's anger and despair all in one.

But I don't know. I like a lot of music. I just put two that have impacted me profoundly and never really get boring for me.

That's the music that resonates with me, anon. I found them while feeling terribly alone living in some shitty fucking Army barracks, picking up hot rodding, and going through a bad breakup.

Here, try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts-4DhxQxKE

Other favorites are Kat Edmonson or JD McPherson or early Neko Case (The Virginian, Furnace Room Lullaby). To be honest I did like Joanna Newsom like 15 years ago. Death Grips is just okay. Killer Mike is better. Kool Keith, however, has the mastery.

i'd be careful with oldham — he's got a lot of different styles. his early thing was about rustic, faulknerian weirdness (incest, generational strife) rendered in biblical [KJV] warbles; his later stuff is about the chthonic contentment of old age and is a little simpler-seeming. generally, his middle period is the most critically acclaimed.

like kierkegaard (and i just put this together), he adopts pseudonyms and viewpoints which are fragments of his own but not representative of his total religiousness. what's your favorite music? are you as obsessed with don giovanni as A was?
