Super dope article. I really love music and I use to think jazz music was for old people or was kinda boring when I was a kid and I never listened to it. Being older now, it's one of my favorite genres of music. I love how "ugly" or experimental it can get because it seems so innovative to me now. Just took me a while to expand my taste to truly appreciate the genre
Just wanted to say I fucked very hard with this article!! Feel like you perfectly described my journey to enjoying 990s and a ton of stuff!
This also really really made me think of this new Elvis Costello song that released last year! One of the funkiest, weirdest songs I've heard. It's got this disconnected, clashing bass and rhythm sound that makes the song feel wrong but somehow I've been coming back to it. Costello's vocal layering makes it slap as if it's old-school rock and I have to admit that I had to get very high to feel it all mesh but somehow, it became one of the vibiest jams I listened to all last year. Thought I'd share as it definitely is on some ugly/genius matrix!!
Thank you ! I’m gonna fire this up . You also raise an interesting issue, which is the usefulness of weed / related drugs when it comes to these epiphanies, which I think connects to the fact that your ego can get in the way of seeing the genius in some thing that strikes you as ugly at first… ugly-genius requires humility and a willingness to “admit you were wrong” that weed can help with!
Completely agree! I think weed definitely plays a useful role in discovering something sort of beyond one's normal perceptions of what is beautiful/cool/genius. Makes me think of how some people have reported utilizing LSD to help address their PTSD as it helps them rewire their brain in a way.
This essay perfectly describes my initial reaction to Hydromocs. I've been hunting for a white pair, but they only have women's sizes so if anyone knows where to get a men's 11 please lmk!
Going through the archives and loved reading this so much
