"quality, though it exists, is not a poptimist concern"

So sez [livejournal.com profile] jauntyalan - what say you?

how to listen to a thing in order for it to become "good pop"

What do you mean by this? Surely what you're defining is 'good listening' i.e. 'pop' is the object of good listening, since presumably a song doesn't compel a particular type of listening by virtue of any inherent qualities?

To listen for 'whatever'? Which is not nothing, or not quite nothing, but near enough to nothing!

Sorry, carried away by words. Listen for anything -- whatever grabs you according to Mark's version. But I'm not sure any of us are actually talking about the same thing.

i.e. I don't know if it can be put as listening for a quality, rather than as being about cultivating a certain quality of listening. But I'm more sceptical about the place of quality in poptimism.

Oh yes, sorry. I need to think more about the 'communicating' aspect of it, I guess.
