Are you still interested in art?

I think I understand what Uzless has attempted to say. But, I could be wrong.

A more beneficial way of patronizing the Arts is to support them through active public engagement. (Or, in other words, by spending money.)

here here my good boy. i made no claim about the musicians who made the music. not at all.

My derision lies with the couch surfers claiming they enjoy art by sitting on their rotting stinking fart laden faux leather chair thinking that they are enlightened because Spotify played them a Mumford and Sons song.

I responded to suzianne who was asking about listening to music on the radio vs streaming and she claimed that is a way to enjoy music as an Art.

Pay attention to the details. Life will make much more sense.

I’m clearly missing something here. Either I’m too stupid or you haven’t explained very well.

“Music is Art for lazy people”.

Please clarify.......

Sit on one's couch, in your home, alone, with a volume remote control in your hand....Music is delivered to you and while still good, it is spoon fed in most cases.

Whereas, real Art, one must go out and obtain, immerse ones' self in it.

Music is Art for lazy people.

Art cares little about the bus journey there.

Oh where are my fellow elites? It's so hard to be surrounded by the dredges. Communication resulting in understanding is a virtual impossibility with the simpletons who are given a keyboard and the freedom to press "post".

Art cares not, but this is not the thrust of thread.

The point is about the art viewer (or listener for the spotify generation). Art is meant to be an immersion. It's not meant to be delivered in modified data packets sent through an Apache server via a network router after being compressed into a signal sent via fibre optics to an analog receiver and manipulated via the stereo systems amplifier and tuner settings while the vacuum is running and the football game is on the tv.

Uhhhhmmm... not an elite post: Long gaze in mirror required.

What are the acceptable formats for listening to music?

try to keep. i know its hard.

the argument is that music is art for lazy people. If you can't understand the points, then don't expect anyone to draw the lines between them for you.

Now be gone, or I shall taunt you a second time...

Maybe I'm not being clear enough for you...Do you also consider live music non-immersive, lazy art?...Oh and your father smells of elderberries!!

No commment.

All points made thus far have been to refute post 6.

Your fellow elites?

In an asylum, painting art on their cell walls with whatevet smearable substance is present.

If listening to Bauhaus, one might expect more dignity: Bauhaus were pure.
Anyway, always better than choking down a Bananarama binge.
