More masturbation from me: Another thing that I concluded about music discussion is the fact that it's hard to make it flow endlessely without incurring the wrath of mental stasis, simply because a lot of it takes place outside a music-making enviroment, where it is created, and therefore a place that stimulates any ideas which might eventually give it one more kick up the arse. There's only so much that can be said about it on, say, a forum, the pub, or a blanc sheet of paper. Not to suggest interesting things aren't written about it, it's just that over-reading or writing without disciplined listening seems kind of pointless, at one point.
