"Who makes the music should be of little significance, unless you're the type of person who makes up your mind beforehand and already has a disposition to not like/hate the music as a result
I understand what your getting at there, you shouldn't go in with your mind made up beforehand, that's just unfair. But if you listen to the album and still haven't changed your mind (due to outside factors or not), that should be good enough.

Personally I'm just offended by the terrible usage of "their" and "your" by two good writers

"How To Ascend" keeps reminding me of a twisted version of the x-files theme or something and I absolutely love it.

An attitude or persona can be be both types of experience, as long as it generates a response in you (positive or negative). The act of going an artist's twitter and reading their tweets is both a personal experience (it's something that you can go back to in your mind) and a sensory experience (it generates a response in you), so if you happen to think about how awful Zomby was on twitter last night when your listening to the album and go "i don't like this", it's the same as listening to the album and thinking about rainy walks outside and going "i like this". And sure attitude and persona influences the music, why do you think Zomby's such a perfectionist who meticulously crafts his music? Because of his attitude towards music making and the way he wants to be personified by us.
Yeah, but you could argue that there's a clear difference between having a situation affect your listening experience as it's happening, and using an outside influence dictate how you approach the album. Also, there's something that's happening to you directly (where/how you listen to an album) versus something that just happens to be a thing that you let affect you
I understand what your getting at there, you shouldn't go in with your mind made up beforehand, that's just unfair. But if you listen to the album and still haven't changed your mind (due to outside factors or not), that should be good enough.
And yeah agreed

Mhm, definitely is. Random thought here, but is it just me or do Zomby and Omar S have alot in common. Personality wise.

I'm tempted to order the triple LP of this shit so I can play it when I spin records at the local watering hole.
Also, SputnikPsychology will never work boys.

Talk about "should" all you like, but associations are how Psychology works. I have a Schema telling
me I shouldn't like Zomby, therefore by liking his music (and with language being as it is, "I like
Zomby" is shorthand for "I like Zomby's music" which doesn't entirely help) I'm conflicting with this.
Everything is influenced by everything else.

Uh, no it's not. It's an association that you can choose to make, it's not a prerequisite to liking the person or vice versa. I can like a person and not like the music that person puts out. In fact by not liking something because a certain person put it out, not only are you pre-judging based off of your apparent "organized pattern" (protip: it's not), but limiting yourself based on an absurd connection

How can I choose to make an association I'm trying to ignore?

I'm not quite sure how you came to that conclusion, but the obvious answer to that lies in the choice you make. Do you make the decision to let how an artist conducts himself outside of the environment you most commonly associate him with conflict with your listening to his product, or do you just simply listen to the music? The association or connection is between the music and you, the "listening experience". Anything else you choose to draw lines of distinction too is, for the most part, completely superfluous, unless how Zomby presents himself on forums and social media is somehow causing you to have auditory and/or sensory feedback
|
| |
It creates a filter through which the music is processed: there was never any question of it being a choice since there's no reason for me to choose it.

Just because you didn't choose something doesn't mean the choice wasn't there, otherwise you wouldn't be aware of it ya forkin dork

I agree his persona affect how one views the quality of his work, but I still refuse to give the guy money on principle.
