When it was over, he made a comment about recording it next time, to which they responded with confusion. They couldn't understand why anyone would want to hear that particular tune in that particular way again... What a contrasting notion to, say, the music industry as it exists in a country like the U.S.A. where musical "hooks" are infused into every possible aspect of our experience (radio, music videos, tv shows, commercials, ring tones and so on.) No wonder we suffer so much from jukebox karma when the seeds of clinging are planted so deeply!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911194092037701909.post-13188663964384400202009-04-09T17:06:00.000-03:002009-04-09T17:06:00.000-03:00I am quite certain I'm afflicted with this conditi...I am quite certain I'm afflicted with this condition more than ANYONE else is ;-)<BR/><BR/>In fact, I can one-up you: I call it the GLOM. Wherever I am-- the gym, walking down the street, in a store-- my mind will seize whatever vocal/musical pattern is evident and tirelessly repeat a few bars of it, no matter how inane or in bad taste it may be! It is endlessly frustrating and rife with the opportunity to practice the paramitas of patience and loving-kindness (both for myself and some of the ridiculous artists that help devise these melodic mind-traps!)<BR/><BR/>Here's to the jukebox running out of juice...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
