The one chapter that I was somewhat able to apply was the one about audio space. I find myself sometimes thinking about the environment in which the artist was in when they first sang the song when I'm listening to music.]]> 2017-11-29 01:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211229560 jasminezamora_garcia https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211229742 The language and vocabulary used overall seemed a bit...extra. I don't know if Ratliff was trying to come off as mysterious and wise or what, but I think he made the book more complicated than it needed to be. I mean, even the very first line of the book, "We are listening in the time of the cloud.", who the heck talks like that???]]> 2017-11-29 01:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211229742 jasminezamora_garcia https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211229761 I thought it was helpful that at the end of each chapter, Ratliff included a sample of songs that were examples of the musical element he was explaining. It made it a bit easier to understand each chapter as a whole.]]> 2017-11-29 01:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211229761 jasminezamora_garcia https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211229771 Ratliff's "Every Song Ever" did a below average job at helping me think deeper about musical pieces. His writing seemed somewhat unorganized and there seemed to be a lot of fluff in some chapters. I was expecting more helpful guidance on how to listen to music, but a lot of it was honestly just confusing. ]]> 2017-11-29 01:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211229771 jasminezamora_garcia https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211235747 Ratliff may be a confusing man, but he does have good taste in music.]]> 2017-11-29 02:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211235747 jasminezamora_garcia https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211235978 I hadn't listened to Vicente in so long, Ratliff's playlist succeeded in reminding me of how great he is.]]> 2017-11-29 02:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211235978 jasminezamora_garcia https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211236382 "This book is about listening for pleasure, and about listening to more."

Lies, this book is about explaining your mostly confusing ideas which did not influence the way that I listen to music.]]> 2017-11-29 02:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezamora_garcia/ut5l5hr9z6hx/wish/211236382
