Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from January 12, 2018 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Dean:

I don't shush, though I did once storm out of a venue for a classical program because the host went on and on and on about sponsors, fund raising, etc. Ten or fifteen minutes. It was base and stoopid. With most music we dub "classical" (hey, classical dub--that'd be cool) the concert should be about the music. Large swaths of classical music audiences are remarkably insensitive to this fact. Rock, punk, some jazz...these might afford different norms, depending on the venue or the program. The music participates in an extra-musical vibe. Bill Evans Trio's "Waltz with Debby" audibly features iced drinks, that's cool. But if you're trying to get Rachmaninov's Vespers in a live performance, you don't want some kook interrupting the musical line by slowly unwrapping a package of cough drops during a fit. Unless, of course, it's in the score.

doctorjazz:

The problem in music venues is often people who come there to have the music be background for their conversations. Sure, there are bars with music hired just for that, but it makes me crazy to go to a jazz club or other music venue presenting a creative musician, and have some non-stop conversation happening near me. I'll take the restrictive policy anytime (even though I agree with ngh in theory).
  1:25pm
Dean:

Another reason I don't shush is I'm a librarian, and it's a stereotype with which we're saddled that I avoid conforming to. But I do tell folks carrying on conversations on their cell phones near study areas to get the fuck out of the library.

@melinda: The Stone is a music club in Manhattan, started by John Zorn. It's basically just a black box with no elevated stage, and room for about 50-60 people. No bar, no nothing. There's a bathroom, but I'm not 100% sure where it is.

@melinda: The Stone is John Zorn's club on Ave C on E 2nd St near Houston in Alphabet City, Manhattan. They have great music, but I can't not have a beverage in a dark place w/o falling asleep. They wouldn't even let me have coffee. I still went many times, usually to support friends.

I've been to jazz clubs, the Jazz Standard in Chicago, being one, where the owner gets up before they introduce the band and they say, "This is a listening room, so please, out of respect for the musicians, keep your conversation to a minimum." And violators got a stern look and sometimes more if they wouldn't shut up. Someone in authority needs to set the tone, otherwise, anything goes. We're a society that's lost its manners. Glen O'Brien said if everyone had manners, we wouldn't need laws.

Ohhh, needing music of comfort and diversion. The gift of an iPhone (And I'm grateful. Really.) has given me such iFutzing and unsimple assignments...porting my existing cell number in a whirl of numbers and notes with help from a team...shopping cases...now must call Apple to straighten something out because Apple store staff couldn't do it (mall trip, ugh). Can't get FMU app until sorted out! Still so much fishing and learning to do on the dingus itself. Progress hurts. Etta helps.

since my only experience with social mores comes from a dysfunctional family's pov, i use media such a television and old movies to give me an idea of how our social standards went to hell... even 50s punks were somewhat sane(?). it's such an interesting timeline of a slow degradation of rules and courtesy..

I'm not so sure about a wholesale cultural decline in politeness. I think we're seeing more brazen crudeness among our, uh, betters, which in turn models some folks' behavior. But I welcome our more widespread recourse to so-called dirty language. (It isn't Trump's use of the word that should offend us; it's what he intended by it.) I have long viewed crude language as a space occupied by adults for reasons I can't fathom. Are adults that insecure with their (I mean, our) authority? We tell our kids not to say those words, then we pay to be entertained by people who say them.

I remember the young guys working at a cart track as meaning business and having little patience. A teenager didn't stop at the directed moment when time was up, and as he went across the start line a worker flung a tire -- full-size car tire not a cart tire -- directly at him. Don't think that'd be in the employee training today.

The "kids" at the track when we raced--they were probably in their late 'teens, early 20s--were quite considerate, even as they hurled themselves around the track twice as fast as my son and me. It's set up not to be an actual race. The incentive is to maintain a steady speed so as to optimize your average time traversing the course.
