This is the first sentence John Cusack threw out in the movie "High Fidelity", and it is because of this sentence that I was instantly conflicted and confused about what I was listening to...
This film has been regarded by my friends as a rock must-see classic, as much as Almost Famous or Velvet Goldmine. Like many treasures. This is one of the reasons why I have been so slow to write an article about this movie. But just after I recently downloaded a dozen albums because of being sick and bored at home (I know it's not right....) and listening to it, I can't help but ask myself, how many of them are really my favorites? Did you hear that? Maybe I should say, what did I "get" out of these albums? It's as great an experience as seeing a good movie that blows your mind and leaves you awake! Remember? The first time I was shocked by music was on that quiet night two years ago, when Suede's "The chemistry between us" came from the computer. At that moment, everything seemed to be right. The smell of smoke and musty room, an old desk lamp, and a boy staring at the computer in a daze, all blended together like electricity. Since then, it goes without saying that Suede has become my most on-demand group.
And then? Did it end like that? Of course not! I started looking for bands similar to theirs with similar styles, trying to incorporate their music into every part of my life, as if I was shooting MVs for their songs myself, Everything is just to enjoy the most naive throbbing again... Since that time, it has been two years since then, and I have not listened to much, but it is considered a small improvement, but I can't find the original touch. …
I often see a certain music critic mentioning "The XXXX incorporates elements of rice bowl cakes into the new album" on the side label of CDs or in magazines, or "XXX can't come up with new tricks when it's hot and cold", etc. Such comments, I can't help but wonder if such a subjective way of commenting can really represent everyone's thoughts? Of course not, after all, the quality of an album will vary with time and space, even if it is the same person. It is also possible that one day the author suddenly shouts like me, "This is really a compliment!". The relationship between music and mood I think it is precisely because of this inseparability that it is so different. However, in my own eyes, there are too many people who will dance with external comments or their own ideas and refuse to contact a certain type of music style. Rock and classical, hip-hop and electronic music, soul and reggae seem to have to stick to their own positions to support each other by bombarding each other? It turns out that even listening to music has to be labeled, and it is not me. Race?
Speaking of which, I’m actually starting to feel a little ashamed. After all, don’t I also hate the Hollywood movies to a certain extent? The plot is so simple that it is close to an idiot, and it will only compress the domestic film market. Why? Is someone still trying to get someone to watch episode 3 first! Does it end up like Rob (John Cusack), Barry (Jack Black), and Dick (Todd Louiso) in the movies? Criticize other people's tastes with your own knowledge It sucks! But the difference is that you can't find your own All Time Top 1 through a lot of reading or listening, but you can only taste it after you really taste and think about the essence of each piece The best result! Confucius said that the taste of meat in March may be a bit exaggerated (the ancients used to exaggerate a little, you know, otherwise, how could there be "white hair three thousand feet"?) But I believe in a good movie or a song A good song is a partner who can accompany you for the rest of your life! Therefore, you must not only be broad but also refined to be worthy of the creators who squeeze their own souls to feed the world! Let’s encourage each other!
