2021-01-25 (Chill the Fuck Out Edition Vol. 6)

Ooooouuuuuttttt thhheeeee fffffuuuuucccckkkk chillllllll, perverinos and perveretties. Slambo fuckin’ macarooni and emoclew to the damngod 6th volume of the Fuck the Out Chill Edition of Monday Morning Aural Sex! Shit, the weather ‘round here lately’s certainly got me sayin’ shit like that. You know what I mean and meant though, I know. Ya know? So, most of us semi-rational human creatures got a major chill moment on the 20th, as Biden & Harris were inaugurated w/o any incidence of violence across the country (as far as I know). Shit seemed downright miraculous from my admittedly limited perspective, even though Biden was not at all my candidate during the primary… No chill on that one, FYI. Of course, chilling is a fuckin’ luxury these days, especially when there’s so much shit to get done. One of the greatest things about this podcast though is that you can enjoy it whenever the bloody well fuck ya want to, so if now’s not your moment to chill, just save it for later. 

Lemme tell ya, if ya don’t, you’re fuckin’ missing out on all sortsa loveliness. You’re welcome to do that, too. You have every right to live your life as miserably as ya want, just so long as you’re not hurtin’ anyone. You know what’s fuckin’ mind-blowing though? Both negative and positive reactions are equally valid and fascinating when analyzed past the superficial and placed in proper context. Simply saying, “this is trash,” or, “this is awesome,” isn’t enough. That’s just binary, ya know? Positive or negative. My persistent question is the why. Why is it trash? Why is it awesome? Have you ever engaged in discussions like that, asking people to elaborate on their otherwise one-dimensional opinions? You can really learn a lot about people that way, not even just in all they say, but in all they don’t say as well.

Of course, not everyone is linguistically adept enough to adequately describe their grievances and/or approvals. That’s fine; it just requires a little more patience and maybe guidance. I know patience seems to be in drastically short supply these days, but it really is invaluable if you can manage to summon any up. Anyway, as far as positive and negative reactions go, I almost never completely dismiss something so far as to call it trash. Far more often than not, it’s a reaction somewhere in the middle. It might simply be because the melody and/or lyrics left me wanting more than they provided. When you consider the reality of music being merely coordinated air disturbances, and how bizarrely unique our reactions to music can be (similar to how our lives can be), something leaving me wanting opens the door to all sorts of questions. What do I really want out of my coordinated air disturbances? Shit, I just want to feel somethin’. Hardly the worst criticism one could offer of a piece of art: it just didn’t make me feel what I was hoping to feel, or even anything at all. Even if it doesn’t affect me, it might affect others. Their experience is just as valid and fascinating as mine, especially if all it is is slightly different.

To circle back to my original point, I do indeed include negative experiences in my wanting to feel something. If I can’t stand something, oh, I remember that I can’t stand it and I remember why. Both negative and positive experiences serve to make the palette of your tastes more complete, more colorful; they’re memorable, and that’s all that really matters in the end. The only times I don’t remember stuff are when it’s simply mediocre, and I try hard to find something to like in almost everything I listen to, play, watch, read and definitely the people with whom I interact. Frankly, as much as I’ve talked about this podcast being a sort of legacy, all I really hope is that I’ve done something for y’all to be positively memorable. I’ve done and been through so much bullshit, I just want to make amends however possible to those I’ve wronged, and live whatever’s left of life trying to make others’ better.

Okay! I need to pump the fuckin’ brakes over here or else this goddamn intro will never end. Lemme say some shit about the tracks we’re about to hear and then I’ll get out your hair, Somethin’-About-Mary-style:

1. There’s almost 3 hours worth of new shit here. Anyone familiar with my previous CTFO editions knows I go entirely too fuckin’ HAM on these damn things, make ‘em way too long, I know. This one’s just a chinchilla’s twat hair over 5 hours. What can I say?! There’s just so much fuckin’ cool shit out there! Do y’all even realize?! Like I said last night to my buddy Al, sometimes when ya go lookin’ for cool shit, ya actually fuckin’ find some. Considering I’m almost always lookin’ for cool shit, yeeeeah…

2. The other 2 hours or so is stuff from previous CTFO editions and/or New Shit editions. Sometimes ya need to spin shit a couple times before it sticks. Sorry for the gross images that probably conjured up.

3. Considering the idea of “Chillout,” is so broad, so encompassing of different genres and subgenres, we’ll be hearing stuff from all over the spectrum here. As I’ve frequently encouraged, our music horizons should be as broad as our capacity for different emotions. We all experience heartbreak, but there’s no reason we should be revisiting the same 10 heartbreaking tracks we’ve known for most of our lives. Ya know? We all experience emotions in similarly unique ways to those in which we experience music. It can be so exquisitely complex, even if there’s merely something simple at the core. What’s more, simplicity can be just as beautiful as complexity.
