November RIP

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Here's what we talked about in November:

Do trends matter?
Anthony schools us on chart country
Year-end listzzzzz
Indie Special 1: MBV
Senseless artist devotion
Unsustainable false songs/production binaries R Us
Indie Special 2: The Brit Box
A crash course in contemporary hip-hop
Roisin: magnificent or menace?

Plus canons for ELO, Stevie Wonder, Gwen/No Doubt, the Pop Open, the Year In Pop, and album chats about Grills Aloud and Kylie. What a busy month.

People (e.g., me) often quote lyrics even though what's moving them more is the music (or they're being moved by the lyrics and how the lyrics sound with the rest of the music); this is because it's nearly impossible to articulate what it is about the sound that moves you.

Exactly - but I am determined to try anyway!
