I don't smell much of anything any more

macsj,

My sense of smell is all but gone. I don't even smell the incense I use in my ceremonies, frankincense. Now the upside is I miss some bad smells.
I am progressively more deaf. So I don't hear a great many things. The upside is I live in an ever quieter world. Given a choice between music and quiet, I tend to prefer more quiet. I have never understood people's need for back ground noise.

• Music as weapons of war and torture — ChristopherBlackwell, Fri Jun 8 6:33pm
  Okay folks, now a chilling thought, what kind of music could the government use to break you down and drive you insane? In my case I was thinking polka music, those mindless teeny bopper love songs... more

    ...it reminds me of an episode of a very funny British comedy from the '80s called A Very Peculiar Practice. There were serious undertones (pun intended) in the episode "Bad Vibrations," which had to ... more

  • • Actually, that might be a realistic pattern in the stars ... — Clawson, Tue Jun 12 10:01am
      ...but few composers would want to copy the random moise of machinery operating. Sometimes it is done for special effect as a small part of some larger background for a stage performance.
  • To me, music is mostly just noise... — macsj, Sat Jun 9 11:48pm
    ...and using noise for torture is nothing new and unique.
  • • Wow. I am sorry for you — Truthteller, Sun Jun 10 11:12am
      you don't know what you are missing.
    • • Explaining color to a blind man... — macsj, Sun Jun 10 5:33pm
        ...is the same as explaining sound to the deaf. Generally useless, but that never stops people from trying to explain it or their feeling sorry for me. Also being red/green color blind does not stop... more
      • • Thanks for clarifying... — Truthteller, Mon Jun 11 7:30am
          as I did not understand you to say you are deaf. Please accept my apologies.

        • • It's just one of those things — Truthteller, Mon Jun 11 7:31am
            I do my best work with music playing and have all my life. Diff'rent strokes, I guess. :)

  • • Yeah, J-Pop is pretty hard to take. — Poppet, Sun Jun 10 7:39pm
      Not fond of J-Pop , but a lot of folks arfe probably more likely to gouge out their ears over dubstep . And of course there's always extreme noise, like Merzbow . Music as weapon? Oh, I'm just... more

  • • LOL! — greenman, Wed Jun 13 5:27pm
      My wife would physically kill you for that commment. But I have to agree that, especially in earlier albums, Geddy Lee was perhaps the worst rock vocalist I've ever heard. Like a fingernail on a... more
    • Too many big words? — Glenn, Mon Jun 11 7:26pm
      I'll stack Rush lyrics against anything you want to put up, intellectual maturity-wise 8^p
