I'm going to take an afternoon off soon and go to the park and hopefully fill pages and pages of wonderfully crafted, whimsically amusing short stories. I have a few starts already. Hopefully I'll post some of the shorter ones soon ( Read more... )

What's nine divided by eleven?

i agree about the production signatures. you can definately hear it in alot of older songs very distinctly.

You can especially hear it in today's music, which increasingly seems like a battle over who has the tightest, most technical musical production. It's sad. It's like they said forget about lyrics or musicianship, let's see who has the most technical producer! That's all that really matters, right? Where and how loud their bass is, is FAR more important than if their music is just a lazy ripoff of another song. Right?

Point being that production meant something back then. It was as integral as the instruments but not greater than the sum of the parts. Can't see the forest for the trees (enter any generic cliche expression to show great distaste)

I liked that thought about maps. And now that I think about it, it's true. They don't leave anything to the imagination and who needs maps anyways? People could use a little more adventure... and a maybe more should get lost for once in their lives.

You fascinate me.

:) I'm actually a huge fan of maps and draw those as well. I just don't like modern, completely accurate ones. They're so boring. I love creative maps like Tolkien's with vast magical forests and ominous mountains overshadowing them or the ones ancient explorers had with North America as an island and huge sea serpents between here and the Mediterranean. To them the world was really like that. It's the mystery and excitement of the unknown that gives birth to such fantastic ideas!

you should draw a map of ziggy stardust's home planet.

I'll draw the fields where all the children boogie.
