well, I guess in a few years, we will need scientists to use complicated technology to come to the same conclusions about film music!

No surprise there, but it's nice to get scientific evidence of it.

Thanks to the loudness wars, with each remastering and the phasing out of original issues, all music from throughout history will sound too loud and increasingly the same.

There is a reason why words "pop" and "poop" are so similar!

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.

Pop as a genre is dead. It's all 'dance' now and it's not even danceable.

The funny thing about mainstream music is that until recently it had one redeeming feature: voices of the artists. That they had to have some kind of skills. Now, it doesn't seem to matter.

If you are referring to the divas and their power singing, then I can't say that was very redeeming.
