It is difficult to judge at this stage...on one hand, you said yourself you have an optimal amount of fat...optimal for making good Swedish meat balls, that is...but you also show some potiential to increase the quotum of good music taste in the world...

Hmm... like you probably have noticed by now I am a sisters of mercy fan, But I guess you dont like them that much? I also listen to some other goth bands like Die form or Sopor Aeternus.

I have not noticed you are a Sisters fan...sorry if I have forgotten you have already mentioned it. Have you told Ysh?

You are right I don't like Sisters, I don't like the Goth genre at all. As a young teen, I liked some of the early 1980's postpunk, that was later called goth, like some of the depressive albums by Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees. I also liked Kraftwerk and Einstürzende Neubauten, although I never learned to spell to the latter

Of this music, Kraftwerk is the only I still listen too and like

My hubby played Front 242 to me once, I did not like it. You might have more in common with him, he is a fan of Sisters as well as what I think is boring, monotonous German techno and "industrial synth" (is there a term for this in English?"

I think Ysh know of my preferences there, yes.

A listen to Cure as well, but its not one of my favourites.

I used to like an album called The Top, from the middle 80's.

I'm not sure, he is (happily

) not so active in the genre anymore. I'm not so active either - I used to go to concerts often, I even travelled to special places to listen to special music. Now, I don't even go to music festivals in my own town, at the most I run for the bus to the Berwald Concert Hall if some really famous conductor or soloist is visiting...

It's not my fault, let's say that his living in Florida did not coincide with the periods when he reached his intellectual and developmental heights.

It is not a question of filling the day...it is a question of giving different kinds of nutrition to your mind, if you want it to flourish

Yes, I understand that being a scientist can be an intellectualy unfulfilling work. And you strike me as the kind of person never to excercise your own mind.

Gn..gn..self control, self control......of course my work is highly intellectually stimulating, and I have some other hobbies that may provide exercise for my mind...but my ideal has always been to be like Francis Bacon, a man who had almost all his contemporary knowledge in his hand. That was of course back in the late 16th century, but still...I think man needs both intellectual and emotional stimulation, science and art, social relations, adventure, raw emotions and entertainment

Do you disagree?

Dottie · Post by **Dottie** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 3:34 pm

I didnt know there was any knowledge worth knowing in the 16th century...

Of course I disagree, I think man needs drugs and a wall to stare into.

That's what they are going to say about us in 400 years

So, I take it it's you and Timothy Leary?

Not at all, our knowledge is definite and omnipotent.

ROFL! Yes, thats the way it is, I have met him in my "journeys"

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 4:20 pm

Especially omnipotent

Send him my regards, and tell him I have some interesting stuff regarding the spiritual experiences induced by LSD and psilocybin

Also tell him LSD is now slowly getting accepted in research again, he'd be happy to hear that!

What about Castaneda, have you met him too?

Dottie · Post by **Dottie** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 4:28 pm

I saw some scrawl on a wall once wich promoted a certain persons "omnipotent" ideas. I really would like to be that person.

Hmm, I've actually thought about reading Castaneda for a while now, Do you know if he's any interesting?

more contemporary, really. my family are into a wide variety of music, and so am i, but i've never been especially interested in classical music as a whole - there are pices that i love, but i find there is a huge amount to wade through to find something that stands out. i do quite like Sibelius, but Dvorak less so.

Azmodan · Post by **Azmodan** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 4:36 pm

*lol*

well Ode, eventhough we have briefly discussed this on the AmazonForum. i will express my oppinion again!

MUSIC: Tool (the masters), Deftones, Carcass, Hedningarna, Gjallarhorn, Garmarna, L7, manu chao, Sepultura, pitchshifter, NIN, Bobby Marley, and offcourse Sisters.
i like some more pop-ish music too. like ....ehm..... no doubt! :/

MUSIC: Rammstein!, concept boy/girl bands, Marilyn Manson, Black Sabbath, beatles, Mike Oldfield ( gawd i hate his guts).
and many many more!....

Ode! did you notice i didn't mention any punkbands, or the Doors?!.......

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 4:45 pm

LOL

I would not!

I read 5 or 6 of his books

as a young teenager. They are absolutely interesting, but must be taken for what they are - a collection of South American folklore and Indian legends, mixed with heavy use of mescaline and Castaneda's own spiritual believes. The are however intereting, partly entertaining to read, and they contain many good and healthy advise on how to think about things, although I would recommend to do so without the use of mescaline. I think you should try them, since you like fantasy, you may also like the heavy focus on magic and visits in other worlds.

You are sure? I could get you a new apartment in Vasastan, Though I can promise Vasastan would still be above ground... or even 3 dimensional.

Ok, I will keep it in mind.

That's good, you have automatic access to a large variety of music

It is my experience that many people who like Pärt and Glass, also like Sibelius, and many who like Sibelius also like Dvorak. I personally like them both, but none of them belong to my absolute favorites.

@Dottie: I absolutely require my flat to be 3 dimensional, and preferrably above ground. Less than 3 dimension would make living in the flat problematic to me, and more than 3 dimensions - well, I wouldn't want it to move at another time axis than I do

Dottie · Post by **Dottie** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 5:16 pm

Not a problem, I could make you change dimensions accordingly. And the 4th doesnt neccessarily have to be time. Remeber Im omnipotent. You shouldnt be so afraid of change.

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 5:28 pm

If you are omnipotent, I take it you can guarantee my manuscipts and research data will not be destroyed in the process, and in that case, I'm very interested in a new flat...can you make the neighbours less small-minded and goody-two-shoes this time?

Even better, I can make them in fewer dimensions then I make you. That way you should have an easy time avoiding them.

About you research data, I can guarantee its not corrupted in any way, but I cant guarantee it wont be obsolete due to other changes.
