If You're Listening To Music Right Now III

the greatest conservative fear; that the wild and experimental spirit of nature lets everything new, unfamilar and strange, suddenly loose, the moment man has put everything under control and made himself and his society comfortable. ‘tradition’ is that stalwart attempt to seize this dynamic, or at least anticipate with some suspicion its inevitable approach, and be ready for it. but every age, every empire, every culture, overestimates its preparedness and place in this continuum, and in finally losing its footing, its timing (e.g., the sudden springing forth of the 12/8 meter below), becomes dizzied with disorientation and uncertainty. this most aptly characterizes the conservative ethos against unpredictable oddities and copiousness; the nervous attempt to substitute the immortality of his culture for the mortality of himself. to ‘keep a simple beat’, as it were, for cultures to come. but 4/4 is outdated.

nietzsche:

… with one blow the bond and the compulsion of the old discipline are torn apart: that discipline no longer registers as necessary, as a condition of existence - if it wished to remain in existence, it could do so only as a form of luxury, as an archaic taste. Variation, whether as something abnormal (something higher, finer, rarer) or as degeneration and monstrosity, suddenly bursts onto the scene in the greatest abundance and splendour; the individual dares to be individual and stand out. At these historical turning points there appear alongside each other and often involved and mixed up together marvellous, multifaceted, jungle-like growths, an upward soaring, a kind of tropical tempo in competitiveness for growing and an immense annihilation and self-destruction, thanks to the wild egoisms turned against each other and, as it were, exploding, which wrestle with one another “for sun and light” and no longer know how to derive any limit, any restraint, or any consideration from the morality they have had up to that point. This very morality was the one which built up such immense power, which bent the bow in such a threatening manner - now, at this moment, it has become “outdated.”

i just want to say i know how hard it can be sometimes when everywhere you go there are desperate degenerates and nihilists and lesbian soccer players with purple hair demanding equal pay and determinists and immigrants and democrats and morons. our world is bursting at the seams with indecision and uncertainty right now, and things are changing really fast. i understand how confusing all this can be, and sometimes when i need a little support i find wisdom and guidance in the work of wilson phillips. i’d like to send this one out to all of you in these troubled times…
