Name:The History of a People is Found in its Songs
About:Pavarotti once said, "Compare music to drinks. Some is like a strong brandy. Some is like a fine wine. The music you're playing sounds like Diet Coke."

We are music-share without the Diet Coke.

A few more things other people have said, which we shall consider our guidelines:

1. "Music is the best means we have of digesting time." - W.H. Auden

2. "There is no doubt that the first requirement for a composer is to be dead." - Arthur Honegger

3. "Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory." - Sir Thomas Beecham

4. "Does it mean this, does it mean that, that's all anybody wants to know. Fuck them, darling. I say what any decent poet would say if you dared ask him to analyse his work: If you see it, dear, then it's there." - Freddie Mercury

5. "The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music; they should be taught to love it instead." - Igor Stravinsky


So, from "classical" to "classic rock"; from the military march to the anti-war ballad; from original recordings to reproductions to remixes; all that we request is that members follow the above guidelines, include the file format and upload site in each sharing post, and try to share something with each post (posts can otherwise be requests, discussions, or solely uploads), life should be splendid.

All posts are automatically friendslocked.
