Particular as in “Limited space for cds allowed by wife”. 

 

Cut down on the number of wives then. :)

 

If each wives allows a certain amount of space for CDs, wouldn't "more wives" be a solution?

I couldn't tell you when the change you're perceiving happened but the minutia discussions have always been part of this site; the Star Wars Prequel Music Resource, the Indiana Jones Pitch Correction Thread, etc.

 

Could be. First few years I was on JWFAN, it was basically with half an eye. I was mostly at FSM, where it wasn't very common up to and including the mid 2000s.

I was allowed to put two large CD shelfs into our living room. But I had to promise, this is the space that I am dealing with. When they are full, I can just replace stuff, but not add new CDs.

That's not allowed where Luke lives.

You'll have to start a Discogs store.

Are they good? Would you recommend them?

I don't think it's a stretch to say that most of us here have obsessive tendencies and are probably neurodivergent in some way.


"Obsessive tendencies," sure. "Probably neurodivergent"? That's a bit of a leap.

I dunno bro, I dunno. I'm undiagnosed myself, so who can say.

Can they diagnose me??


From what I've read, there's lots of self-diagnosing of every kind going on there.

The last time I did something like this must have been when I shared a flat with a friend who enjoyed classical music and had a bit of interest in film music. Otherwise the closest would be going out with friends for film music concerts with my city's symphony orchestra, or seeing Morricone in the capitol with @Thor and @Nils, the great clarinettist. 

 

Yeah, that was a nice evening! Although the acoustics in the huge Telenor Arena weren't much to write home about. 

 

And enough with the "great clarinetist" thing already, JS! :D Have you even heard me play?? ;)

Agreed, and I didn't write about it.

It's the word on the street! :D

 

Btw, I think you or Thor shared a few recordings of your band's JW concert a few years ago, so I've probably heard you play. ;)

Make a post on JWFan missed connections?

 

We were in the elevator. A familiar tune was playing on the muzak, although I never would have said anything. One guy joked he'd heard it on the Weather Channel Local Forecast. Another guy said he thought it was Dave Grusin. Then you correctly pointed out, that's Banning Back Home from Hook. In all the confusion exiting on the 27th floor, I never could find you. Because we were spaced so far apart, I never even saw your face. 

 

Hoping for a Hook-up (m4w)

Anybody else have that moment at such a meet-up where you realize you've never said words like "segue" or "Varese" or "Intrada" out loud and have no idea how to pronounce them?

Sort of related, I finished listening to the Christmas Legacy of JW episode the other day and this is the first time I think I’ve heard someone say the name of this site out loud (there is also a thread on how to pronounce it and you’ll be quite surprised at everyone’s opinions IIRC), and I can’t remember who said it, but someone said it as I say it it, which is “J W Fan”, and I was pleased I wasn’t alone haha.

Indeed, Gerate. There's a whole separate topic in what you wrote there that would very interesting indeed. I feel so completely ancient in the film score world these days. And I'm not only talking about the C&C issue, which is old. But all those other things you mention. All this talk about what I consider micro issues -- spreadsheets, cross-fades, sound quality measured in waveforms, custom artwork, shipping updates etc. etc. It's all "on the spectrum", as they say.

 

There was a time not too long ago I just slapped on a cassette tape of a soundtrack I had copied, sometimes second generation copies even, and enjoyed the heck out of it. None of these issues ever occured to me. It was just listening to an album, period.

 

I'm still kinda stuck in that period in the way I listen to and enjoy soundtracks. It has to be really, really bad and noticeable for me to care. Like that first release of RAIN MAN.

 

Also, you often have to dig deep and hard to find discussions about the general musical qualities of things, you know -- the actual contents of the music, not everything around it. That doesn't only apply to JWFAN, btw (although it's more extreme), but also FSM and other places. I miss proper discussions about general musical aesthetics like we had 20+ years ago.

 

Aaah....refreshing that I'm old enough now to do old-geezer-fist-raising-venting! :D

Fellas, is it autistic to care about things?

Nothing wrong with it at all. We're all interested in different things. For example, in the electronic music thread, Alex is very much into gear stuff. I'm not, at least not very. I'm more interested in the music itself. Yet we both co-exist somehow.

 

It's just interesting how dominant the minutia discussion has become in the last two decades, and how every release comes with the process that Gerate mentions in the first post. It's a very precise observation. It's become more "information database", less "casual music talk".

@Thor I would also think, the rise in such things, is due to the ease with which one can share audio, images, and video now compared to then, due to faster speeds, increased storage, and access to Internet on portable devices.

 

Absolutely! That's also one of my theories, as I mentioned earlier in the thread. I seem to remember that taking hold in the late 2000s.

There's nothing wrong with being overly interested in how the meat is made. There's also nothing wrong with not caring about it at all.

How about with banging on and on and on about not caring?

I think the main reason being that, like I said, more new users are coming here nowadays for information rather than to chat about the music itself. Younger people don't generally use forums like this anymore, so the only reason they have to seek it out is for very specific reasons. Some of them find out they like it here and stay, others don't. And younger people, having been around modern technology all their lives are more likely to be the sorts who are more interested in the "database" aspect of these sites.

 

That makes me a bit sad to hear, but you may be right.

OK, I did it.  You can edit the main post to choose whatever thread title you like.


Wait, is there really a thread elsewhere discussing neurodivergence? I can’t find it.

No, the beginning of this thread was extracted from the Patriot expansion thread.

Everything in this thread up until my post that you quoted was originally in The Patriot thread, so that was me telling him its all here now, and not in the Patriot thread, which is why he could choose the thread title of this thread, because he's now the main poster / "thread starter"

Let's be honest, everyone on this forum is at least a little autistic.

 

There are certainly some angry young men in denial.
