In jest or folly, I've caused you pain, I seek forgiveness, like springtime rain. Your transfer knowledge, I now perceive, And in my thoughts, I will believe The Frimpong you shared, the guidance bright, A treasure found in darkest night. With open arms I offer this plea, Lavrimento’s not for NUFC. I read your poem with open ears and yes you’re right, I have no fears Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 It wasn't the most nuanced set of opening posts, but there's no need to pile on @Ottoman IMO. Pretty sure as soon as the season kicks off and the team is in action, those kinds of transfer thoughts will fade into the background for everyone. I'm already mostly over Szoboszlai and I was pretty set on the idea of him signing, you have to let these things play themselves out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I didn't think much of Ottoman's posts at first but he's right. Go back and read them again but CAREFULLY this time. Really think about the words. They're excellent posts IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 23 hours ago, Vinny Green Balls said: Abstract Popular music is a key cultural expression that has captured listeners' attention for ages. Many of the structural regularities underlying musical discourse are yet to be discovered and, accordingly, their historical evolution remains formally unknown. Here we unveil a number of patterns and metrics characterizing the generic usage of primary musical facets such as pitch, timbre and loudness in contemporary western popular music. Many of these patterns and metrics have been consistently stable for a period of more than fifty years... Beyond the specific outcomes discussed above, we now focus on the evolution of musical discourse. Much of the gathered evidence points towards an important degree of conventionalism, in the sense of blockage or no-evolution, in the creation and production of contemporary western popular music. This doesn't focus nearly as much on what is occurring in some other music genres not listed, but is overall looking at general patterns of western music in pop, rap, country, and metal. And since it was done in 2012, it obviously hasn't picked up on some new interesting patterns. This is an exception, but IDLES are very popular, but utilize a lot of chords and tones that are absolutely discordant and wouldn't exactly fit in. Saharan blues, as an example of a hybrid genre of western and sahel music, has only really been around since the early 90's, but has gained serious steam in invention in the last 10-15 years. Other studies have suggested that many if not most people get locked into the music that they listened to in high school, and arrogantly complain about all modern music being shit. Your initial statement about "dipshits" appears to lodge you in this camp. Especially now, we have access to so much music that even if the study is pretty sound (which I have no reason to think otherwise), there are more than enough exceptions to this even in contemporary western music. and finally it might be more accurate to look within smaller fragments of time. What you’ll likely find is that there are years of repetition in between quick spurts of invention. We’ve been stuck in the 4:4 pattern paradigm in the west for the most part for 100’s of years. Nothing wrong with it, but our minds are wired to find it pleasing. When people say "music sounds the same" they mean the shit on radio 1 and similar radio stations or adverts.
