There weren't many arguments of Ratliff that I seemed to disagree with as we progressed through this book. All in all it was well written and it really helped me learn so many different aspects of music and how to listen more attentively. ]]> 2017-12-04 04:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212704999 jackypoo25 https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212705323 The main aspect I liked, pretty much the main theme of his book, was that he chose certain musical elements to address in each chapter then paired songs with each element to help explain what he was talking about throughout the chapter. This book definitely changed the way I listen to music. ]]> 2017-12-04 04:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212705323 jackypoo25 https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212705634 One thing that bothered me was that even though he used a good variety of music genres to explain his elements, he actually left out a few music genres that could have helped him explain his ideas. Even though most people don't listen to rock and roll, metal, or electronic music, I found it disappointing that he rarely dabbled into the rock genre to support his claims of certain musical elements. ]]> 2017-12-04 04:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212705634 jackypoo25 https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212708909 "A perfect moment is often wordless, or indirect if it has words." - Ben Ratliff]]> 2017-12-04 05:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212708909 jackypoo25 https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212709036 "In music, nothing is perfect, unique, or exclusive." - Ben Ratliff]]> 2017-12-04 05:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212709036 jackypoo25 https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212709386 2017-12-04 05:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212709386 jackypoo25 https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212709570 2017-12-04 05:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212709570 jackypoo25 https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212709651 2017-12-04 05:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212709651 jackypoo25 https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212709757 2017-12-04 05:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jackypoo25/gq5abf02jdz0/wish/212709757
