I loved a lot of Trent's early stuff. Then he went to rehab, sobered up, and his music changed. This was one of the first indications I had of his changing style. A lot of fans didn't like it, but I think his songs became much more focused (especially lyrically). And thematically, this song will never not be relevant.

This song had a really big impact on me when it first came out. Sadly, it just seems to become more and more relevant as time goes on.

I hated this piece as a child. I was a fan of the "German school" of composers: strong functional harmony. Sections of music have to resolve tightly and correctly. So when I heard Clair De Lune, it sounded to me like a cat rolling around on the piano keys.

Then a few months ago, I heard it on the radio. It suddenly made sense. After years of training my ear with contemporary modal music, full of "weak" cadences, I was better able to understand this Debussy piece. The notes float, linger. The chords keep it grounded and add some tension. And of course, that section with the bubbling arpeggio chords is otherworldly.

Jocular ones are welcome too (and no doubt inevitable), but I'm looking more for "sensible" ones. Some examples:

• Unmoved Mover
• Great Universal Mind
• Undifferentiated Aesthetic Continuum
• Ground Of Being

I just read up on it and it seems good, at least in theory. How does it compare to Lemmy, would you say?

I searched on YouTube and could only find stuff that was either quite old, or more on the pop side. Are there Italian bands that really rock hard?

For example, looking at a forest from overhead can reveal a pattern of a human face. Maybe that's not the best example but I can't think of any right now. There's a term for it, and there was a subreddit dedicated to such things.

I started using Piped a few days ago and it's great in so many ways. But I keep getting Jordan Peterson videos in my feed still. Is there a setting that lets you block or filter suggestions you don't want?
