It is basically a TM meditation and the thoughts that race through your mind while meditating, the Number 9 part is the mantra

Certainly nothing I listen to often, but I appreciate the juxtaposition of the mantra against the chaos. I imagine there might be something revealing about the listener, whether they're drawn to the droning repetition or the noise.coffeepotman wrote: ↑22 Jun 2017, 9:58amIt is basically a TM meditation and the thoughts that race through your mind while meditating, the Number 9 part is the mantra

It's a waste of 8 minutes, it really belonged on Two Virgins, that being said I think it is a pretty interesting piece being able to transpose the thoughts in your mind and replicate them through music is pretty amazing. As Lou Reed said "between thought and expression..."

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
Yeah, I agree. The White Album is a collection of divergent directions—Devin McKinney, in Magic Circles, argues that it's that disunity that makes the album so reflective of 1968 itself—but with the exception of R9, they're all recognizable conventional songs. It's naked intrusion makes it easier to skip. And it's followed up with the soppy awfulness of "Good Night," so, really, just hit stop after "Cry, Baby, Cry."coffeepotman wrote: ↑22 Jun 2017, 11:17amIt's a waste of 8 minutes, it really belonged on Two Virgins, that being said I think it is a pretty interesting piece being able to transpose the thoughts in your mind and replicate them through music is pretty amazing.

It's an outtake from Metal Box.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...

11/20. Inder, anything less than 16 and you should be forced to listen to "Freedom" on a loop for five hours straight.

I thought Mull of Kintyre was a massive hit in the 70s, but that wasn't one of the answers.Inder wrote: ↑23 Jul 2017, 6:18pm14Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑09 Jul 2017, 6:24pmhttps://www.sporcle.com/games/MitchellG ... board-hits

There are lots of these bizarre anomalies with the US record buying public. Songs that sell millions around the world failing to even chart in the States. I liken it to the soccer situation where everyone got it but the Yanks.Inder wrote: ↑23 Jul 2017, 8:41pmYowza:Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Jul 2017, 6:22pmI thought Mull of Kintyre was a massive hit in the 70s, but that wasn't one of the answers.Inder wrote: ↑23 Jul 2017, 6:18pm14Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑09 Jul 2017, 6:24pmhttps://www.sporcle.com/games/MitchellG ... board-hits
