  There’s not just music from the 1960s that could be incorporated in the “web” of Psychedelic Pop/Rock. But really, music in itself is  all  a web, a diagram. It’s all connected to different music, with your yapping critics and “music extraordinaires” coming up with genres and sub genres. It’s the same with books, and movies.  Human beings have obsessive tendencies to want to archive everything into different categories . Some people like to collect  actual copies  of albums/singles/EPs for their own full-on storage. And of course in this era, there’s people who buy digital copies of music. But that era is basically done… With the streaming services nowadays running the game,  nobody owns music . Of course you can get deeper with copyright and bullcrap I don’t know much about. But that’s not what the majority of people want, and that’s all business anyway. What I’m mentioning is  nobody buys physical mediums to listen to music anymore . At least ...

  Of course my words and structure in my writing rely on the amount of education I have. My own personal tendencies that have been instilled in me based on certain circumstances. And among things, I am an adult male with certain biases, but that’s not the point. But one of the things that have stuck with me that has not as much to do with the music itself is Punk Rock. There’s a lot of “inflation” out there on the concept of “Punk Rock”. Or really anything that includes the word “Punk”. “Punk” of course originally described some sort of “crappy, “adolescentish”, garbage person”. But words and phrases evolve over time, of course to turn into different meanings. But what in the world is “Punk Rock”? If you’ve been deep into music as much as yours truly. You may have encountered sayings describing music as being “proto-“ (before). It’s all right and natural to trace things back to find the roots of them. But eventually, it turns into a joke where people just start throwing the label o...

  Keep in mind that this post will be less of me trying to convince who’s ever reading this that “…The Beach Boys are the greatest musical project ever”. But more on the lines of drooling over, expressing my love, and the joy I have for (of what some of us agree to be) the greatest band to ever be born out of the United States of America. As a disclaimer, for basically my blog posts in general.  This is all just me ranting off the top of my head, expressing my feelings, being myself. And I will input potentially truthful knowledge. But potentially as in, it’s only true to the best of my knowledge. As me being like the average person, just relying on hearsay, and literature/the internet. And lastly, with my opinions being based on my own personal biases. Just like any great band/singular musician. The Beach Boys rely on the members being particular characters, each a unique one in the band in their own right. Which makes sense, music is more than just about the music. They’re “...

 This isn’t exactly about what makes sound, sound so good. What makes music so good. And how I’m having a hard time explaining myself. But about admiring the beauty of music itself, if it is  “your cup of tea”. But then again, certain people don’t enjoy music as much as I do. Or at least claim to. With me having $599.99 USD (it is 2023 in the U.S.A.) headphones, a portable amplifier, and an optimal source device (Phone, etc.). But is it really about blowing tons of money into the idea of aspiring to have the highest audio quality when listening to your favorite songs/albums? I used to collect vinyl records, and I believe the main reason was because I had some sort of “fabricated perception” that “vinyl records deliver the best audio quality for listening to music”. But really, with all the surface noise, sibilance, and ways the vinyl can get defected. Not to mention it being another money pit to deal with, other than, blowing all this money on the best headphones and portable ...
