Music & Politics
KharBevNor:
--- Quote from: muffy ---That said, that song by The Others 'This is for the Poor' about how rich kids don't have a clue and have no right to listen to their music can fuck RIGHT off - yes, it's political, but in all honesty, if you're someone from a terminally skint background (as am I), you have enough stuff to deal with without some gimp like that claiming to be your spokesperson.

Skyclad sing about the crushingness of poverty in a heartfelt manner!!
*beats himself with birch twigs for plugging Skyclad way, way, WAY too much*
ForteBass:
--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---To be blunt, that's a wanky socialist student view of politics that I don't really ascribe to. Politics and personal philosophy are seperate but related things.

It's kind of scary, but for once I agree with the little metal head. When I compose a piece for piano, I'm borrowing from personal philosophies regarding art itself, but I'm not thinking about politics in the least. In fact, they're the furthest thing from my mind. They'd just get in the way of my production.
Remember kids, not all music has lyrics, so take that into consideration. Music itself makes its own statements.
KharBevNor:
Hey hey hey.
I'm not little! I can even tie my own shoe-laces and everything.
Anyway, this thread is getting a little too anti-marxist. Who wants to bitch about those cuhrazy feminists?
Johnny C:
Case in point: Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
(EDIT: This should be taken in context with ForteBass' comments, because they'd make no sense as a response to Khar's.)

. . . And that statement can be political - a case in point being "Fable of Faubus" by Charles Mingus. Now that's the ultimate piece of musical character-assassination. (Yes, I know there's a version with lyrics as well which was the original - but frankly, the version without the lyrics is better.)
