You did encourage me to listen to Kulu Sé Mama, which I don't have. :up:
February 03, 2022 at 08:58
Yes, "Welcome" was on the Transition CD (not the original album release, apparently), and it's a favourite of mine, although I was usually too exhaust...

This is the track that got me into Coltrane and made me switch from death metal to jazz around the age of 18: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LngpAUn...

The more I listen to it, the more I listen to McCoy's piano solo. Reflecting the structure, it sounds really simple, in a good way. My favourite Coltr...
February 03, 2022 at 08:41
That change I was talking about is around 9:59 btw. Happens first in his first solo at 1 minute, then in McCoy's solo at 3:25, and then the last one i...

Lydian always does it for me.

Right now my chord-change earworm is from this song at 1:24: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzluWvQS9WQ It's more of a complete rupture than a regula...

This is like me when I'm with a group of friends or family and I suddenly realize I've been dominating the conversation for the past hour. Don't worry...
February 03, 2022 at 07:54
Looks interesting.
February 03, 2022 at 07:08
Better an earworm than an assworm.
February 03, 2022 at 07:05
Nice, I like Steve Reich. Quite a subtle change, as earworms go.
February 03, 2022 at 06:54
Only in the context of a specific piece of music, probably. Especially a minor to major change.

The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again by M. John Harrison

On the contrary, I haven't seen any of his films for years. I wonder what he's up to. Anyway, thanks for "sphincter-esque" :up:
February 03, 2022 at 05:56
It's almost amusing that you can ask this bigoted question and then complain about being the target of invective.
February 03, 2022 at 05:44
Nice article.
February 03, 2022 at 05:39
A different way of putting it is that we extend our bodies outwards. The extended body, like the extended mind. The gastrointestinal tract extends out...

Yes Apollo, I know all of that, but thanks for the neat summary.
February 01, 2022 at 17:49
Yes, but even among the newer books there's a big range in the interpretation of the new information, especially with regard to the Lenin-as-German-ag...

I'm being a bit pedantic here, but ... if you're going to apply the Gregorian calendar to the October revolution, then to be consistent you should cal...
February 01, 2022 at 14:30
This is quite reasonable, although I don't think that foreign involvement was decisive in bringing about the events. I think it would have happened an...
February 01, 2022 at 14:15
Okay, I'm sorry I called you obnoxious. I just wish you had responded more amiably when people quite reasonably asked for evidence. Carry on.
February 01, 2022 at 11:40
There's a popular conspiracy theory in Russia, especially prevalent among Putin supporters and often promoted by the state media, that sees the 1917 r...
February 01, 2022 at 04:07
And yet you have presented nothing but speculation. You eventually found someone who agrees with you but still cannot come up with anything. You haven...

My brother has been into John Prine for a few years but he's my little brother so I was duty-bound to dismiss it. Until now.

I like it

Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon
January 30, 2022 at 14:39
Socrates in the Republic argues that true philosophers do not want to rule, which is partly why they should. In these rulers there would be no "fascin...

Another guy who invaded Russia. I get the impression that bad weather wouldn't have bothered him much. If Buffalo, New York gets so much snow and pres...

By the way, Napoleon did capture Moscow. Didn't do him any good though.
January 29, 2022 at 23:56
Yeh, it's pretty manageable in Moscow to be honest. Worst is March when it all melts.
January 29, 2022 at 23:51
Pfft!
January 29, 2022 at 23:27
This is very curious. First you show that you understand knowledge, but then completely undermine yourself. I have followed your point perfectly well,...

Paleolithic philosophy forums may have been just as stupid as far as we know from the little evidence we have.
January 29, 2022 at 14:47
Unless the OP can cite evidence for the primary claims, this thread is a non-starter. I'm tempted to just close it. The study and article linked to in...
January 29, 2022 at 09:38
But it's obvious. From your not knowing that the capital of Vanuatu is Port Vila it doesn't follow that it isn't true that it's the capital. To questi...

:rofl: It was true that Stan had two legs, even before there was any question about it.
January 29, 2022 at 08:40
This is incorrect. W is talking about the claim to know, and your "by extension" isn't supported. It's precisely because we can say that the statement...
January 29, 2022 at 08:36
As far as I can see this is just your prejudice about Russian women. However, I commend you for this: :up: And yet they make a hand-wringing show of b...
January 29, 2022 at 03:05
It's not going to happen, and I think it's a bad idea. I'm not going to bother saying why, partly because I think it's obvious, but also because there...
January 29, 2022 at 02:22
Yes. Hinges are not known, not because they are not true or false, but because they are not justified. That is, justification is not what we do with h...
January 29, 2022 at 00:59
A fairer response to this... As far as we can talk about the existence of propositions, then yes, they exist when they're stated, or rather, they're p...
January 28, 2022 at 12:41
Nope, you've got this wrong. If I'm interpreting you correctly then you're agreeing to this. But this is to say that there are true statements that ar...
January 28, 2022 at 11:33
"It might be true that there is life on other planets", an everyday, conventional thing to say, is to say precisely that "there is life on other plane...

You would deny, upon seeing said boulder, that one of these is true? The weight of the boulder is 5000 kg The weight of the boulder is not 5000 kg Bef...

I tried it with my wife and she did OK. I think it's the Germans who have trouble with squirrel.
