music - yes. what could possibly be labeled a conspiracy and then stuck to such a thing as music? so broad a topic, where as conspiracy needs limitations and the miniscule to work proper. well, i offer the simple question of who brought this thing to us, this invention called music? way beyond the fire and wheel; this was one day animal next day artist. i know we (humans) technically invented it with musical instruments, around 35,000 y.a., which is right after we invented burial and then took to the sea, according to this cool book i am reading called "national geographic 1000 events that shaped the world." yeah, i know, reading a paper book for reference information. string instruments came around 2600 b.c.e., right around the time of the establishment of an empire. also at the same time of the first pyramids being built, where soon to come the great pyramids of giza and khufu.
there is the connection. there is the control. just where did this thing evolve from, this thing glorious as written word to emotion filled speech transference itself. and was there predestined knowledge of what it would become . . . if you stopped right now and thought about where it is and what it has become? all television shows, sports shows, commercials, infomercials, everything on television has music as a background score. even all movies. without it, it would seem bland and pointless. when we eat out, there is music, in our car (no matter it be radio/cd/ipod) it is there. we need it. without it, what we see and do through the day, whether it work or play or excercise . . . is "bland and pointless(?)". can you laugh off the assertion and live without it? that means all forms of it, and i think i have only named a few outlets of it. no shows or listening to it. how many people have dreams of being in bands that go nowhere or bands form to wind up in bitter fueds where many people (inside and outside the band) are hurt, and it haunts them/effects them forever? just how many shows can you be fucked out of because of the "scalpers first" rule of thumb and the price rise of concerts, before you lose it? the riots at concerts because of types of attitudes clashing with artists too far gone prefuckingmadonna to even show on stage. classes of people (this is my favourite) forming based on what type of music you listen to. as if the type of music (punk/rap/country/indie/goth/pop/etc...) was the cult sensation and the music was a demi-god, giving audible connetion to the (god?). the demise of the empire due to internet thievery, where the artists who provided the music now have to hide that "yes, they were all along and apart of the past rip off process of drinking,drugging,fucking to furious excess," by offering music in a repackaged, repriced "free" for all or in-store, multiple issue, exclusive content up your ass b.s..
so just who "invented" this thing we call music, that most people think of as only mere music? since the days of wigs and white powder moles, there was jealously and there was greed, and that is only two of the better qualities of a thing that people are addicted to as much as any drug, not to be put down so easily. viva musica!
