Embracing Musical Freedom: Breaking the Boundaries of Genre

What is your favorite genre of music?   Introduction: Imagine a world where the barriers of genre vanish, where you are not confined to a single favorite genre but rather explore the vast landscape of musical expression. In this realm, every note, rhythm, and melody becomes an opportunity for discovery and enjoyment. Embracing musical freedom means breaking the boundaries that limit our…

One Song in Every Language

Okay, tumblr. Let's try something.

I want to make a playlist with one song in every single language. Of course, this is impossible- the spotify playlist limit is something like 5,000- but I want to try. Of course, I can't do this alone, and so I'm sharing the project with the entire online language nerd/ music nerd community. Together we can celebrate linguistic diversity- and find some really cool music :)

Here's how it works. This spreadsheet will document every song and language represented. When you want to add a song, first look in the spreadsheet to see if that language is already represented. If it isn't, add the song to the playlist, and then add it to the spreadsheet.

What counts as a language? This is, as we all know, a fundamentally political question (Russian/ Ukrainian? Hindi/ Urdu? "Chinese" and its "dialects"...) We don't have to solve those debates here. My thinking is: the point is to celebrate linguistic diversity in as many forms as possible. If you can make a reasonable argument for why a song and its linguistic variety should be represented, go ahead and add it.

Yes, this means conlangs count (cause conlangs are SICK!) This also means dead languages count- throw in all the Latin and Classical Nahuatl you like. Glossolalia (à la Sigur Ros) and semi-linguistic scat-esque nonsense (à la Kobaian)? Sure, why not!

I'm calling this one song in every language, but we also want to highlight small and minority languages. So maybe we don't want ten different French songs, but if there are two or three different artists singing in Sami (especially different varieties of Sami), throw it in!

Let's make this awesome. Let's make this huge. Spread it around to every language nerd and music geek you know.

Thanks, dankon, merci, etc :)

guy very into musical theatre who mistakingly thinks they're connecting with me over a shared interest: yeah, weber is foundational and all, but i've always felt more of a connection with what starkid's got going on, y'know?

me, who's only ever listened to tracks from the musical episode of Psych: uhhhhhhhhh... hello my name is shawn spencer? this is my partner, lil' wayne? the evidence is underwhelming? but my intuition is insane?

Ужастики смотрят

Яньцин не понимает, куда он жмал

Долго думала, выкладывать или нет, ибо жестко ошиблась при рисовании этой работы, из за чего все пошло под откос. Но ладно, пусть будет.

Полтора часа рисовала скетч на еще одну работу и в итоге удалила его, ибо вообще не вышло. Надо потренироваться, научите рисовать...

oki so there have been a lot of rambles about the recontextualization of the warriors album to actually be hopeful and be more in favor with grassroots communities and actually giving meaning to struggle and all that - but I admittedly hadn't considered why the source material did not hold these themes in the first place! which led to me thinking about how couple of warrior tumblr peeps here have talked about the historical context of the warriors movie itself and the grassroots communities at the time!

with that I think it is highly important to emphasize here that the warriors film was made in the 70's. this period had also been described as rather bleak in terms of crime rates and the like and the height of new york gangs - so, it is to no wonder that the film took the "Violence Is Wrong All Your Efforts Are Not Worth This" route with the warriors film bros having nothing left but the coney sunrise to appease their tired hearts. That's what the film wanted to convey I presume: that Violence is Hopeless, Peace Is Optimal. Which, is a basic take - a moral take in the most basic of senses, but ultimately conservative in nature.

however, as @threetrenchcoatsinatrenchcoat emphasizes in their rambles, radical means grasping things at the root. so where did lmm and eisa (!!!!!) look to? The story untold about the 70's - a story of gangs being community servants rather than ruffians, wanting more than just the rumble. A story of struggle amidst crime from those among you and those in powder blue. A story that emphasizes why gangs from the marginalized - and the cultural revolution that inspired the main fucking medium in which this story is told - exist in the first place: in the name of resistance, in the name of hope.

That's perhaps the biggest diversion the album now brings to the table in transforming a machismo gang film that's clearly dated into something timeless for it is made with the perspectives of the marginalized in mind, those that most understand that, ultimately, to hope is to resist - something that those up above can never immediately comprehend.

this needs greentext format so here goes -

> be me

> biracial autistic queer star trek fan, obsessed with Spock

> watch unification. be altered at your very core

> make a post about the time-bending, reality-altering, soul-bonded connection that is K/S

> someone reblogs it and tags it with Rum Tum Tugger and Mr Mistofelees of the Cats (musical) fame

> truly we live in a wondrous universe. full of infinite diversity of experience in infinite combinations

@wisteriavines cw: stitches

“You know, we do have people paid to do this,” Dick commented idly as he pushed the needle through Phantom’s skin.

“Yep.”

“People who are far better at it than me,” Dick added.

“You do fine.”

“They’ve got this great stuff to numb your skin—”

“’Wing,” Phantom said. Dick could tell from Phantom’s tone he was a hairs trigger away from actually snapping.

Dick sighed.

He wanted to push the mater. He always wanted to push the mater. To ask why did no one else seem to know that sometimes the wounds Phantom got carried over to this other side. To ask who even knew about this other side. To ask why Phantom trusted him above everyone else.

But he wouldn’t. Phantom and him were too much alike. They both kept too much buried under quips and grins and a devil may care attitude. Dick refused to be the one that broke Phantom’s carefully constructed damn keeping the real emotions back. It would happen and Dick worried sooner rather than later, but Dick refused to be the one who caused the break.

He would be there to help after though, just like he was always there to help patch Phantom up like this.

Dick sighed and pressed a fleeting kiss to the skin above the wound and went back to stitching it up. In out, in out… the rhythm of the needle brought an old song to mind, one his mother used to sing. He thought he half remembered the words…

“Luna și cu stealilii Să-ți păzească viselii Să-ți mângâie geanilii Geanilii sprânceanilii…”

Yes, he’d be there when the damn broke.
