Since the music portion of the forum seems basically dead it calls for a revamp. This being a forum where many people choose to see films as more than entertainment and try to discuss what makes them what they are, I would hope there are some people who have the same attention to detail in another equally provocative medium.
So the first thing to ask is how many of you actively look for bands or albums for you to learn about and listen to? Does anyone play any instruments? Does anyone have music in sight for their future? Who wants to boast their record collection? For those more involved or looking to get more involved, what stage are you at and where do you want to go?
This can take off in a million different ways, should be interesting, but for the "philosophy" notion I was curious as to whether anyone else has considered music as a philosophy, or rather a method of thinking without using your brain by letting the improvisation guide you willingly. There's philosophy in concept records, genre philosophy, why you prefer this record over this record, why the subtleties in this track make it or break it, the future, where you see things heading, etc.
Should've renamed this the general music thread, dammit
