How Much I Feel - 09-13-2012 by Timothy - More Perfect How Much I Feel - 09-13-2012 by Timothy - more perfect - http://moreperfect.org/site How Much I Feel by Timothy - Thursday, September 13, 2012 http://moreperfect.org/site/?p=1213 As an overly romantic kid, I spent a good portion of my youth wearing bulbous headphones, analyzing the lyrical content of pop music. I once passed an entire family vacation listening to “Bennie and the Jets,” trying desperately to both memorize the lyrics and comprehend their meaning. The weird and the wonderful. Religious leaders were scaring kids with stories of Satan-controlled rock stars and a nefarious tool called backmasking. Ironically, this made me certain the prophets of pop had access to deeper understanding. All I had to do was decode the hidden messages! The influence of my sweet satan seemingly made me vulnerable to overwrought orchestrations of infatuation. Songs were my education in love. Imagine my joy when dad drove home in a new Chevy van! The things I imagined. Over time, I began to develop a bullshit meter. For example, was there really a Mandy in Mr. Manilow’s life. I had my doubts. How Much Do You Feel? 1 / 10 How Much I Feel - 09-13-2012 by Timothy - more perfect - http://moreperfect.org/site Ambrosia is the fabled food of Gods, famously used by Athena to affix beer- goggles on the suitors of Penelope. I knew nothing of Homer as a pre-teen. For me, Ambrosia was simply a band who understood true love and heartbreak, just like me. I bought all their singles. Years later, I happened upon those 45’s, inserted the required yellow adapter (a satanic symbol for man on man on man love action) and began anew to analyze the lyrical content of their hit “How Much I Feel.” It’s widely counted as a beautiful blue-eyed soul love song. Even Casey Kasem thought so. But, is it? Less than thirty-seconds in, the bullshit meter lurched full red. I grabbed the needle so quickly it sounded like tires screeching round Dead Man’s Curve. How Much I Feel? This guy was a lying, cheating bastard. Let’s break it down. The Confrontation [Note: each lyrical section of the song is presented in a short audio clip.

His response is classic misdirection: turn the accusation back on the accuser. The question is shifted from whether he cheated to why she doesn’t trust him. See how that works?

This jackass is cheating on her and doesn’t have the guts to break it off honestly. So instead he blames her. The break up is a sacrifice that he’s willing to make, because she wants it. And this just proves that he loves her. That’s how much he feels… How Much I Feel Pt. 3 MP3jPLAYLISTS.inline_2 = [ { name: "How Much I Feel Pt. 3", formats: ["mp3"], mp3: "aHR0cDovL2 1vcmVwZXJmZWN0Lm9yZy9zaXRlL3dwLWNvbnRlbnQvdXBsb2Fkcy8yMDEyLzA5L2hvd19tdWN oXzMubXAz", counterpart:"", artist: "", image: "", imgurl: "" } ]; MP3jPLAYERS[2] = { list: MP3jPLAYLISTS.inline_2, tr:0, type:'single', lstate:'', loop:false, play_txt:' ', pause_txt:' ', pp_title:'', autoplay:false, download:false, vol:100, height:'' }; That’s how much I feel Feel for you, baby How much I need I need your touch How much I live I live for your loving That’s how much, that’s how much That’s how much, that’s how much Moving on. The Apology Then come the late night arguments. Nothing matches up; he’s spinning a story, but she’s not buying. How do we know? Because he’s sleeping alone. Probably on the couch. Next morning he approaches more gently, with coffee, juice, eggs and a small vase with a flower, all on a tray.

They’ve been there, nothing to be ashamed of. Knowing glances all around. Reassured that he hasn’t given them t.m.i., he steels himself for the denouement of the dark tale. He quiets his voice.

The god-honest truth, validated by a chorus of beer-swilling guys. “That’s how much!” They all look at each other. Swagger in their eyes, just like the boys sitting at the Gas-n-Sip in the 80’s movie “Say Anything.” “Bitches” they say. Another round ordered. Let’s take stock of our story thus far. Mr. Ambrosia cheats on his girlfriend, makes her feel like shit for confronting him, accuses her of not trusting him, and then sells her out to his friends. What a guy. But don’t close the book yet. We’ve got one minute and twelve seconds left; anything can happen in pop music with one minute and twelve seconds left. The Douchebaggery This sordid story ripens! Years later, he runs into her at the Piggly Wiggly (that’s the 1970’s version of Facebook).

To my husband, Karen, and Lisa – I love you. The end. “I look like a cake,” I mumble. I feel like shopping for a wedding dress is supposed to be memorable, but I’m not sure this is the right kind of memorable. “Do you know who designed that?” my mother asks and she follows up with a name I’ve never heard. I guess it’s impressive, though, because Kristen gasps. Abby just looks at me and shrugs, because she knows how things are. And Alana stares at everyone in the dressing room as if she took a wrong turn. Meanwhile, I look like a cake.

  • Everyday Life Music Information-Seeking Behaviour of Young Adults: an Exploratory Study
    Everyday Life Music Information-Seeking Behaviour of Young Adults: An Exploratory Study A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Audrey Laplante School of Information Studies Faculty of Education McGill University Montréal, Québec Octobre 2008 © Audrey Laplante, 2008 Abstract The aim of this qualitative research was to contribute to a richer understanding of the everyday life music information‐seeking behaviour of young adults. The objectives were (1) to uncover the strategies and sources young adults use to discover new music artists or genres, (2) to understand what motivates young adults to engage in information‐seeking activities, and (3) to explore what clues young adults look for in music items to make inferences about the relevance or utility of these items. Fifteen young adults (18 to 29 years old) of the French‐speaking Montreal Metropolitan community participated in this study. The data were collected through in‐depth semi‐structured interviews. Drawing on the research on shopping behaviour and music behaviour, Wilson’s 1996 model of information behaviour has been revised and used to guide data collection and analysis. The data were analyzed inductively, using the constant comparative method. The analysis revealed that the participants had a strong penchant for informal channels (i.e., friends, colleagues, relatives) and low trust of experts (i.e., librarians, reviewers, music store staff). It also emerged that music discoveries were often the result of passive behaviour. When music was actively sought, it was rarely a goal‐oriented activity. Indeed, it was mostly the pleasure they took ii in the activity itself – the hedonic outcome – that motivated them to look for music rather than an actual information need.
