Music Memoirs: An Intro and Top 40s

This will be something i post about often and might even compile to a real journal. Theres too much to explain to have in just one post, so I must stay focused on one thought per post, because otherwise ill never stop and it will never be done. No other introduction should be necessary, most of music and its greatness should already be understood to you. 

            Top 40s music. Whether it is actually good or not, is not this discussion of its post. Rather, a revelation about it. I had on my DMB Pandora station, which was having a fantastic night, and Hotel California by the Eagles came on. I had been talking to my roommates when it came on, and during a pause in our conversation he said that the Eagles weren't really that special. I understand that to mean, yea, they were great musicians  but nothing really of that much more superb or equal to the other greats of their time. 

           Then I realized this. They are playing very easy 4/4 beats that actually have a hit on each beat with a strong beat emphasis on the first of the measure. They are the easy four chord variation. Its something that easily syncs with the inner human metronome. People are easily able to have good conversation over it, because it doesnt mess with the inner ticker. Which makes it great party music, or music that can be used as a background to fill the void of sound while doing mundane tasks. 

           Top 40s music becomes popular for this reason. These people arent actually listening to music for the music and beauty, but rather something they can fill the "space-out" void with. When played at parties, it makes up for the awkward silences, because it keeps everybody on the same metronome. You can see this at parties when people walk, a lot of the times they walk-bounce to the beat. These people dont really see the music. 

          Which explains the following. Its seems that weird people (the people that stick out, maybe they are part of some crowd partially, but they are still weird) happen to also usually listen to "strange" music. Music that doesnt fit the norm. Maybe they listen to that stuff to, but they also listen to this "different" stuff, that most people wouldnt enjoy. This could be because they arent so strapped down to the normal inner beat. They are 

Ok, so at this point a friend came over and i wasnt able to finish the thought...so i came back later, sober, and wrote this:

more inclined to be not as linked to that standard beat and therefore dont sync in with the whole group as well. 

For now im leaving it like this because the inspiration is gone. If it comes back then this shall be finished.
