Just dropping by to wish everyone who is still taking part in the Interactive Polls a good holiday season, in spite of the rather depressing situation. I do check the forums every day, but very little of what I see is appealing to me. With the exception of these polls, the forums seem to have been taken over by rather odd people, and some of the things I've seen - especially in the COVID thread - are not inviting at all. In any case, I am glad that you're keeping up the good work! I hope one day in the near future to be back to contributing to these threads. In the meantime, all the very best to you and your loved ones from Micky and me

Very nice to read your message, Raff. I joined PA only very recently but very much appreciated your (yours and Micky's) contributions, and not only in the interactive poll threads. Hope you will be back contributing again, at least in these polls, because the musical suggestions of you both have made me discover some interesting artists. These are odd times indeed - let's hope it can only get better - but this cannot withhold us from wishing each-other the best. Hope you and Micky will have a fine holiday season too and I wish you a good year to come. There is some reason for optimism... Cheers !

I've been busy and hadn't been active much for the past week, but things are slowing down for me, so I'll have something up today. |

Happy holidays to you and Micky too. Also whoever has "holidays". I'm wishing that none of you will be visited by the Covid-19 a****le.

Dear friends, mathman's poll will be the last of this 2020, and we have plenty of time to listen to the songs and talking about them. On January 2nd I will open my poll, the first of 2021, and as I had announced, it will be a poll on protest songs. However, I thought that protest songs might be too narrow a topic, and so I decided to expand the poll, and I announce the rules now: 1) Think of two songs that added together do not exceed the total duration of 12 minutes 2) The two songs to choose can belong to the same artist (even to the same album) or to two different artists. 3) if you choose songs of the following genres: - ethnic music - world music - folk music iIt is not necessary that they are protest songs, they can deal with any theme. (Ethnic, world or folk music songs are also allowed belonging to groups present in the prog folk, prog relared or proto-prog categories, as long as they belong to albums with less than 100 ratings. The songs published by Jethro Tull, David Bowie, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, the Who, the Doors are proibited.) 4) If you choose a Protest song (or two protest songs), they can belong to any genre, as long as ... they are protest songs i.e. they deal with a social or political or ecological theme, or concerning rights of the person. I leave it up to you to decide when a song is a protest song. Consider that I don't mean protest songs in a limiting sense. Suzanne Vega Luka's pop song, which deals with violence against children, can be considered a protest song. If you choose a protest song, please write his lyrics. 5) Instrumental songs are not allowed. 6) In conclusion: -I can choose two protest songs, for example an heavy metal song and an electronic song. -I can choose an ethnic song (or a prog folk, or a world music song) that speak about love, and a protest song of any genre. - I can choose no protest songs but two songs of ethnic, world, folk music that I like. 7) We vote for our favorite pair of songs.

I'm not a fan of the terms ethnic music and world music (the latter brings together in one category music types from all over the world that have nothing in common), but apart from that I like the theme. I have plenty of protest songs to choose from. Almost too many as a matter of fact.

Sorry to nitpick, but those two terms do bug me a bit. |

I specify that I have used these three terms
(folk music, ethnic music, world music) to mean the traditional music of each country, including Western music. We are all familiar with American folk and country-western, which we might consider American ethnic music, which is largely derived from English and Irish ethnic music. But If I were to talk about Vietnamese or Moroccan folk music, I wouldn't know at all what to say, I don't know tthem, and then by ethnic music I mean every traditional music from every country, and by world music I mean what Peter Gabriel did with the his record company: write music inspired by ethnic music (traditional, if you prefer) of the most varied countries, and use their musical instruments, and rework it as you see fit, perhaps with electronic instruments or making a hybrid between music / instruments taken from different ethnic music, such as Gabriel did by inserting Scottish bagpipes into African music, and as many artists do now.

Howdy, people.
My net connection is limitless now, though a bit slow (which will not pose a problem for Youtube stuff, assumedly). I wasn't aware that unlimited internet connection can be affordable in my whereabouts. We just found a local service provider to provide that. So, I'll most likely rejoin the ride. I can even be a poll creater myself. All the best, Özgür Edited by Shadowyzard - December 22 2020 at 05:21 |
