The Visceral Extends Its Domain: The Rules Of The Game Continues

[koganbot]

Here's the first ever Rules Of The Game Followup Column. Contains metal and morality, romance and longing. Quotes Martin. You're encouraged to comment here, there, everywhere.

EDIT, JUNE 8: Strangely, the link I'd posted in the previous paragraph didn't work after a few days, so I had to track down where the piece was and fix the link.

EDIT: Here are links to all but three of my other Rules Of The Game columns (LVW's search results for "Rules of the Game"). Links for the other three (which for some reason didn't get "Rules Of The Game" in their titles), are here: #4, #5, and #8.

UPDATE: I've got all the links here now:

Well, you don't have to think about what other people listen to for what you hear to nonetheless cluster (somewhat) with what other people listen to. But also, for instance, listening to what's on the Czech top ten in a given week, which is the sort of thing you do, is taking account of what other people listen to. (Compare to selecting ten songs at entirely at random.)

I haven't listened to the Czech top 10 in ages. Funny, though, I was going to start blogging about music I hear in my actual life, "in the wild", appreciated by other people, if you get my drift; i.e. write about the world I'm in, rather than the one I merely imagine (to steal dubdobdee's excellent idea from the above post and probably mangle it a bit).

That said, the listening to the Czech top 10 was more curiosity and.. well, thoroughness in the execution of a concept more than what I want to be doing.
