As has been established, I lack the inherent ability to blog “well”. It may stem, not from a lack of substance, but self-imposed filters and inhibitions. You may have noticed I don’t share much of anything from my life, which I realize does, detrimentally, cause a lack of sentiment to assign any value to anything I say. I guess there’s a solution to work toward here. I find, though, as many do, the seemingly cathartic introversion of emo-blogging to be tiresome and chock fulla narc, so that’s another thing I try to steer clear of. There’s also the ever-present hesitation not to say things that will cause unwanted unpopularity, dislike, etc. Which is why it is ironic that the bulk of the posts here, below the comic, in the last few months have been about such a subjective subject as music. A strange phenomenon occurs when a long stretch of healthy, normal sleep is interrupted by not 1 but 2 nights of deprivation. (My theory being that a subconscious realization that the comfort of sittin’ pretty is gone, a need to return there by means of extra exertion is required.) For some reason, I’m reamed of any complacency and able to go about things with a greater intensity. Which is why I wrote the previous paragraph to point out why it’s strange I only blog about music.
Tron: Legacy Reconfigured, an album of remixes based off Daft Punk’s fairly well done score, was released today. By far my favorite track has to be the version of “Fall” done by Big Black Delta. The goal, y’see, with remixes, Moby, is not to sample a 2 minute song into a 6 minute song, Moby, but retain the recognizability of the original while keeping it interesting and showing the need for a remixed version, Moby. Nobody’s going to be opposed to you adding sounds that weren’t in the original. Moby.
The original:
Fall- Daft Punk
The remix:
Fall (M83 Vs Big Black Delta Remix)
Oh, thanks for just now letting me find out about Neutral Milk Hotel. What other things from 1998 do I not know about?
