yes, a thousand times yes, to this idea here. how indeed to quantify "giving a shit" about music? and this is what's on my mind daily as i write over at LSB and why i sexualize most of what i write about music, because that's the way that i "give a shit" about it as a non-musician, (to generalize) and that's the way many non-musicians "give a shit" about music, i think. of course that's an overgeneralization, a way of saying that we appreciate music in a bodily fashion or for purposes collectively represented as sexually or physically stimulating. or more simply put, we like to fucking dance, or simply fuck to music.

but, honestly, what escapes discussion in music geek circles where everyone is showing off their esoteric knowledge of the obscure is admitting that what often forms our immediate attraction to music is it's physical affect on us.

so how will that continue to be commodified in light of new technology and how can we measure that effectively? or could we? and no, the web doesn't make this way of relating to music any more difficult, in fact, i'd argue it facilitates it as it allows further anonymity and therefore more sexual expression. my own identity as case in point

why didn't i ever roam over here before, love what you've got going on, xoxo

I knew that history degree would come in handy.
