This reminds me of Ben Johnston's contention that 12-tone equal temperament is making us sick (physically, socially, politically). Forcing the harmonic series onto a grid means all of our music is suffused with unnatural dissonance
Yes & this has been going on in music for decades. The gridification of performances- using algorithms to make performances 'perfect'- teaches us to reject difference & unlearn how to move together in time, making democratic coordination much more difficult.

I just heard the tale of how a heckler was thrown out of a Jandek show for repeatedly requesting “Freebird,” and I believe you should hear it too.

Apparently evidence of this moment is on a DVD:
I've done a silly amount of research on this. The offending request can't be heard on the CD--the dead air between songs has been edited out. On the DVD, you can hear someone call out "Freebird" right at the start, while the Rep is setting up. You hear a few forced chuckles and some boos in response

This week on Songs of Our Lives, @sarahhennies.bsky.social returns! We talk a lot about the point of singular genius that is Jandek, the most fucked up song imaginable, Hatebeak's untouchable concept, Bobby Conn, Cerberus Shoal, The Shaggs, Billy Joel, and loads more!
Songs of Our Lives #83: Sarah Hennies (THE REMIX!)
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s the return of Sarah Hennies! I always knew I’d have Sarah back, and with her new album with Tristan Kasten-Krause out now on Dinzu Artefacts, it was the …

Crestfallen and
Broken breast I
Feel a full shadow, I
See a spur digging
Snails on the rocks
And it's low tide and
There's diamonds in the ocean

This and the positive responses to it are beyond mystifying to me
Even if I hate a popular piece of art, I can almost always understand why its fans love it. I find Logan Paul annoying but I get why kids would find him aspirational, I don't get romance novels but I see why others do etc.

The one exception is Bob Dylan. I *truly* don't get it. At all.

I used to know the difference between pallet, palate, and palette, and in my heart I still think I do, but I see the wrong one used so often that I tend to doubt usage even when it's correct

I'm fine with weird. I understand that "these guys are weird" is different from my cat is weird is different from Jandek is weird. I worry that we won't be able to milk this catchword for three months without getting into woozle-wuzzle territory, but I'm along for the ride
