Rye by Clara C

All the little parts of her songs including her own vocal sound effects and her quirk and her catchy/bubbly/upbeat melodies combined create music so original and Clara C. Her covers are great as she stylizes them into and adds her own recognizably distinct sound, but I’m looking forward to and most excited about every original piece she produces such as this one with matching creative, visually cheerful music videos.

Beyoncé on Music Today

"I felt like right now, people experience music differently. I remember seeing ‘Thriller’ on TV with my family. It was an event. We all sat around the TV and I’m now looking back, I’m so lucky I was born around that time. I miss that immersive experience.

Now people only listen to a few seconds of song on the iPods. They don’t really invest in the whole album. It’s all about the single, and the hype. It’s so much that gets between the music and the artist and the fans."

I will repost this as today marks two years since the great mind, Christopher Hitchens, died. Regardless of my own personal religious beliefs, I will always find myself rewatching this rather lengthy debate for Christopher Hitchen's enviable erudition and prowess in debate and this subject area. I don't think religion is entirely culpable for some of the global issues he brings up. However, he has valid points and good intentions and homework done and consequently publicizes and donates to worthy organizations to eradicate these problems. Controversial man and beliefs, but unassailable talent and contributions to a sizable part of society seeking critical thinking and the truth.

The Necker Cube (in the context of The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins)

This is a two-dimensional pattern of ink on paper, but it is perceived as a transparent, three-dimensional cube. Stare at it for a few seconds and it will change to face in a different direction. Carry on staring and it will flip back to the original cube. Both cubes are equally compatible with the two-dimensional data on the retina, so the brain happily alternates between them. Neither is more correct than the other. 

The Necker cube model is misleading because it suggests that the two ways of seeing are equally good. To be sure, the metaphor gets it partly right: 'angles', unlike theories, cannot be judged by experiment; we cannot resort to our familiar criteria of verification and falsification. But a change of vision can, at its best, achieve something loftier than a theory. It can usher in a whole new climate of thinking, in which many exciting and testable theories are born, and unimagined facts laid bare. The Necker cube metaphor misses this completely. It captures the idea of a flip vision, but fails to do justice to its value. What we are talking about is not a flip to an equivalent view but, in extreme cases, a transfiguration.

The Interpretation of Dreams on creativity 

“Apparently it is not good — and indeed it hinders the creative work of the mind — if the intellect examines too closely the ideas already pouring in, as it were, at the gates. Regarded in isolation, an idea may be quite insignificant, and venturesome in the extreme, but it may acquire importance from an idea which follows it; perhaps, in certain collocation with other ideas, which may seem equally absurd, it may be capable of furnishing a very serviceable link. The intellect cannot judge all these ideas unless it can retain them until it has considered them in connection with these other ideas. In the case of the creative mind, it seems to me, the intellect has withdrawn watchers from the gates, and the ideas rush in pell-mell, and only then does it review and inspect the multitude. You worthy critics, or whatever you may call yourselves, are ashamed or afraid of the momentary and passing madness which is found in all real creators, the longer or shorter duration of which distinguishes the thinking artist from the dreamer. Hence your complaints of unfruitfulness, for you to reject too soon and discriminate too severely.”
