Book Musik 035 - "A Sound Mind" discussion with author Paul Morley by Book Musik published on 2020-11-28T05:49:40Z Tosh and Kimley are joined by writer Paul Morley to discuss his latest book "A Sound Mind: How I Fell in Love with Classical Music (and Decided to Rewrite Its Entire History)." Paul is a man after our own heart with wildly eclectic taste in music, an insatiable curiosity and a willingness to challenge his own assumptions. He is a well-established and highly respected pop/rock writer who’s been covering the scene since the 70s. In his 50s he realized that pop music wasn’t giving him the jolt it once did and decided to explore classical music. He discovered that its newness to himself made it as exciting if not more so than the latest pop phenomenon. It’s a fascinating adventure and the book is a passionate call to never stop expanding one’s horizons. Theme music: "Behind Our Efforts, Let There Be Found Our Efforts" by LG17 Genre Entertainment Comment by HelterSkelley @bookmusik: Me too. I also like a good solo in there. Loved the cool review too. Thank you both! 2020-12-06T22:41:00Z Comment by Book Musik @helterskelley-1: Ha! I didn't know that about Spotify. I need my pop songs to be at least 2 minutes! 2020-12-06T18:37:15Z Comment by HelterSkelley Interesting re Tic-Toc etc: Song lengths are shrinking from streaming. Spotify does not pay you unless you get more than 30 seconds of listening. So they need to cram the chorus in up front! etc. 2020-12-06T14:40:29Z Comment by Book Musik I wrote a review of the book as well: http://tamtambooks-tosh.blogspot.com/2020/12/a-sound-mind-by-paul-morley-bloomsbury.html 2020-12-03T17:10:44Z
