i really miss music
the sound system in my car is getting wonky. the speakers in the driver's door don't always work, and it's mega-disruptive to the enjoyment of music. if they were always off, it would be better.
speaking of music, why is it that any modern orchestral or symphonic music (basically Mahler and later--20th century) apart from the odd piece, like Mahler's 1st symphony, or the Russian stuff (Shostakovich, Rachmaninov, etc) has to be atonal and melodically grating. are they purposefully trying to avoid writing any pleasing melodies? it's as if a robot or computer or disfunctional math genius is trying his hand at making music.
