daemon: Wildd | text

[tangleofgarlands]

I wasn't sure if this was an appropriate time, but I thought that maybe people would like a distraction from everything, so here goes.

I'm looking for new music to listen to. I had a large collection back home, but have since lost most of it, and I thought I'd take the chance to expand my horizons a little.

If you're curious about my tastes, my collection included The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Curt Wild and the Ratz*, Janis Joplin, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, The Flaming Creatures**, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, and Patti Smith.



*Iggy Pop + The Stooges
**New York Dolls+Roxy Music

I'm not Wildd--my daemon is. The thing you use to read and send these messages. Don't worry if it confuses you, I barely understand it myself.


I've heard some Louis Armstrong, the kind of thing that plays on the radio, but I don't think I know Bye Bye Blackbird.

I'll try to give all of your suggestions a listen, though. The sort of music I listen to already is a genre that drew heavily on jazz and blues, so I'm not sure why I haven't listened to more of it. I'd probably like it for the same reasons I like rock 'n roll.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mr. Arthur,

Apologies. I hope I didn't offend you - I plan to acquaint myself with the technology more once my mentor and I settle in.

I'm also unfamiliar with the term 'rock n' roll.' Is that similar to jazz and blues?

Sincerely,
-C. Barebone

It's alright, you didn't offend me at all. I made that mistake at first too--it's just that I made a friend who knew what she was doing and could help me out.

If you don't mind my asking, what year was it for you back home?
It might not have really come about yet, especially if people around you are still using green carnations.

Jazz and blues are largely considered to what rock and roll was born from, but it wasn't until the 1940s or so that it started and the 50s when it was popularised.

Mr. Arthunowherewas 1926 where I'm from, sir, no where near the 50s. However, I'm aware of a lot of things that seem to be universal afterwards--for instance, I'm told New York grows even bigger and brighter and busier, and that's the most exciting thing I can dream of. I've also been told prohibition has ended as well.

Would it be alright if I could listen to some of this music? I'm terribly curious! I've never been allowed.

Thank you,
-C. Barebone

Wow. Really?

That's the year my mum was born. My dad would have been about five years old.

I've never been to New York, but I'd like to go. It's a dream of mine. There's a lot of good music there and there's something about the American concept of individual freedom that I find very attractive.


[He can't be sure, but the way certain things have been phrased--never been allowed, for one, and the general skittishness that's permeated both of their conversations--it seems familiar to him, like he's looking at his own reflection in a fogged-over mirror.]

Of course you can. I just need to find a record player first.

If you like jazz and blues, I think you'll enjoy rock and roll. It's rougher, a bit dirty and unpolished, but that's why I like it, personally.

You're very welcome.
