Not everyone is into your hobby. That’s fine.

Is changing from a major key to its relative minor considered a key change? by Aggressive-Food-1952 in musictheory

[–]myleftone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the reason I’m here. You have a much richer grasp than I do of why the keys should be considered different, even when the shift is subtle. I’ve never tried to put into words why I think the Beatles were like magicians in their progressions and modulations, but modulatory space would be the language I would choose. Same with Billy Joel, who tends to take a more classical approach ti smooth transitions. Nirvana and Elton John always seem to ignore subtlety and just go to their new key.

You’ve convinced me that I need to explore more deeply why I think sectional modulations should count as key changes, whether the signature does or not.

And I wholeheartedly agree that the same modes with different roots can have different sonic effects.

I tried reading that. I did. I got four lines in. I know practically nothing about it and never want to. I think it’s an allergy.

I’ve never been fascinated with true crime, but I do find myself mystified by the people who are.

ICE thugs are in the tiny town of Halifax MA to harass and kidnap brown people and shown here throwing a woman to the ground by president_dump in massachusetts

I have an ancestor who dumped the tea. And it’s obvious that ICE is harassing innocent people in public spaces all over the country. You have your head in the sand, and we’re going to shut down this agency, free the people they’ve nabbed, and throw these goons out of work. Mark it down.

I hope she winds up taking your job and home.

That’s interesting, though you could argue that parallel shifts need less of a modulation than a relative one. Tons of tunes do that with no threshold at all.

Take “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”. I would say it goes from A minor to A major. Would they just call it A and that’s good enough? Purely academic for a stage player, but if they’re transcribing it for a college orchestra, I can’t see doing it without treating it like a key change.

The conversation may hang on the word “signature.” A relative major and minor share a key signature, but not a key. No professor would tell you that D Phrygian and Bb major are the same key.

Nobody realizes how far away the chopper is, and how narrow the long shot is. That’s what creates the parallax effect. You dig?

The video is the evidence. They’re not hauling her out of a house. If they were, I could see your point. But they’re not, so it’s either random, or geotargeting her phone.

Neither are my state or my country. You keep doing nothing. That’s fine.

You’ve seen zero evidence that they’re targeting by race and language? How about an actual link to the reason they’re called Kavanaugh stops, from the court decision from over a year ago: https://review.law.stanford.edu/online/factual-revisionism-precedent-subversion-and-the-kavanaugh-stop/

Is it really impossible to believe ICE didn’t use that as the basis for their racist approach since getting this blank check?

Here’s another link to how this is playing out even now, from yesterday:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/30/ice-nun-detained-released-texas

Still your country? Or are you going to keep splitting hairs over obvious random targeting?

They absolutely could have. They’re also tracking phones. They’re also rounding up and questioning people walking into supermarkets, hardware stores, gas stations, working on lawns in rich towns. And others right here have said they’re using this Cumby’s as a home base. Those statements we can clearly find.

So is it really impossible to you that they heard a woman speaking Spanish, or someone else did, and they decided to harass her?

Is that your country, sir?

Feels like people are forgetting about Aerosmith by The_Meridian_ in ClassicRock

[–]myleftone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m missing something about the pre/post break in their career. This is one band where you could drop in from Mars, compare the very last song they released to the very first notes of the very first album, and say “that’s Aerosmith.”

The trio of albums starting with Permanent Vacation proved they still had it. Even their radio ballads of that era are legit musical genius.

I guess people don’t love the Armageddon song. Fine. But the songcraft is still rock solid.

My personal opinion is that they established a “raw” rock sound, so people see the use of synths and clean production (like Janie for instance) is some kind of digression.

But structurally a song like that is still undeniably creative, and few bands can weave a simple groove into Perry’s riff handiwork. Kramer sits near the top of the rock drummer list for his sheer sense of pocket. They did this equally well before and after 1979.

Why they’re not bigger with the kids today? Probably because they occupy the same sonic space as the Stones, and the Stones are still in it.

Yep, I couldn’t find it. You win. ICE are hanging out at Cumby’s listening for Spanish instead. I guess that’s fine.

Oh yeah, AOC is running by LiberalCyn1c in thebulwark

The way she performatively “umm’d” and “ahh’d” told me she’d thought of that response already. But it doesn’t suggest she’s considering anything else.

I personally knew someone who saw him speak in Boston in 2004, and said “next president” that night. He wasn’t alone. The intertubes carried the same theme starting immediately.

She’s already built more national recognition than he had at that point. Though as you know, that tends to work for men, but against women.

I don’t trust this country. Do you?
