"azz serves a cultural function in the music scene. It is a signifier for musical "adulthood." To embrace jazz is to don a kind of graduation cap, signifying a broadening of tastes outside "mere" rock music. This ostentatious display of "sophistication" is an insult, and I find the graduation cappers transparent and tedious. Certainly there must be interesting music one could call "jazz." There must be. I've never heard it, but I grant that it is out there somewhere.
Jazz has a non-musical parallel: Christiania, the "free" zone in Copenhagen. In Christiania, like in jazz, there is no law. People are left to their own inventions to create and act as they see fit. In Jazz, the musicians are allowed to improvise over and beside structural elements that may themselves be extemporaneous. Sounds good, doesn't it? Freedom -- sounds good.
The reality is much bleaker. Christiania is a squalid, trashy string of alleys with rag-and-bone men selling drugs, tie-dye and wretched food. Granted Total Freedom, and this is what they've chosen to do with it, sell hash and lentil soup? Jazz is similar. The results are so far beneath the conception that there is no English word for the dissappointment one feels when forced to confront it. Granted Total Freedom, you've chosen to play II V I and blow a goddamn trill on the saxophone? Only by willfully ignoring its failings can one pretend to appreciate it as an idiom and don the cap."

>Later came minutes, hours, whole days at last, when she'd be absent from our thoughts, so fast did life, the wooly caterpillar, run. We went to Italy. Sprawled in the sun on a white beach with other pink or brown Americans. Flew back to our small town. Found that my bunch of essays The Untamed Seahorse was "universally acclaimed" (it sold three hundred copies in one year). Again school started, and on hillsides, where wound distant roads, one saw the steady stream of carlights all returning to the dream of college education. You went on translating into French Marvell and Donne. It was a year of tempests: Hurricane Lolita swept from Florida to Maine. Mars glowed. Shahs married. Gloomy Russians spied.

There is enjoyment and enjoyment. The enjoyment one feels from Formalist music, derived from its inane Numerological whoopty doos, and one's game-like disentanglement of said whoopty doos, justifying one's time and effort spent on memorizing an equally inane Numerological model of Music that is fundamentally alien to the Human Spirit - as is Number itself - for no other reason than to eventually be able to disentangle Musical whoopty doos - you don't have to be particularly introspective to realize that this is a kind of Mental cuckoldry.

Whereas prima facie enjoyment is another thing altogether.

Metal is the STEM approach to music. They make up for their lack of talent with "complexity" which is really just turning music into an algorithm. Creativity is replaced with busywork. The similarity with classical music is superficial, as classical musicians utilized the same algorithms as tools of their craft rather than as crutches.

But jazz is (or at least was) a great cultural movement which still stands up today as having produced and influenced much of the best music of the 20th century.

Meanwhile Marx and Freud are relics. They've had their influence, but nobody takes them seriously any more.

No pham you're just retarded. It gets time and experience to get used to the more complex side of metal.

I guess the thing for me at least is that Nabokov's reasons for hating Marx and Freud are clear through his writings. Whether I agree with them or not, I understand that he has his reasons and they are well developed. His hatred for jazz, though, just comes across as ignorance.

>>9142168

I'd like to retort that when you become an adult, you will realise that you have no authority as an arbiter of taste and that your throwaway dismissal of half the greatest musicians of a century has no weight carries no weight or relevance to anybody but yourself. Unfortunately, though, I doubt it. Many adults continue to bray their ignorant opinions their whole lives.

He should have liked jazz, because his writing is jazzy, his use of frills and trills and colors and textures, and winding and waving and flowing and improvisation, and inspiration, and intuition

>The American is primitive in his artistic taste, both in what he enjoys as art and in his own artistic works. "Jazz" music is his music of choice. This is that music that the Negroes invented to satisfy their primitive inclinations, as well as their desire to be noisy on the one hand and to excite bestial tendencies on the other. The American's intoxication in "jazz" music does not reach its full completion until the music is accompanied by singing that is just as coarse and obnoxious as the music itself. Meanwhile, the noise of the instruments and the voices mounts, and it rings in the ears to an unbearable degree… The agitation of the multitude increases, and the voices of approval mount, and their palms ring out in vehement, continuous applause that all but deafens the ears

>Nor can one help the exile, the old man dying in a motel, with the loud fan revolving in the torrid prairie night and, from the outside, bits of colored light reaching his bed like dark hands from the past offering gems; and death is coming fast.

>>9143017
I was the shadow of the waxwing slain by the false azure in the windowpane; I was the smudge of ashen fluff—and I lived on, flew on, in the reflected sky. And from the inside, too, I’d duplicate myself, my lamp, an apple on a plate: uncurtaining the night, I’d let dark glass hang all the furniture above the grass, and how delightful when a fall of snow covered my glimpse of lawn and reached up so as to make chair and bed exactly stand upon that snow, out in that crystal land!

[...]

But it's not bedtime yet. The sun attains old Dr. Sutton's last two windowpanes. The man must be--what? Eighty? Eighty-two? Was twice my age the year I married you. Where are you? In the garden. I can see part of your shadow near the shagbark tree. Somewhere horseshoes are being tossed. Click. Clunk. (Leaning against its lamppost like a drunk.) A dark Vanessa with crimson band wheels in the low sun, settles on the sand and shows its ink-blue wingtips flecked with white. And through the flowing shade and ebbing light a man, unheedful of the butterfly-- some neighbor's gardener, I guess--goes by trundling an empty barrow up the lane.

Guys. It is an excerpt from a Poem in one of his Novels, said by a character. There is no reason to believe (all of) these are Nabokovs views

Mathematical models are not strict patterns - or not what people think patterns are, anyways, necessarily.

>Is it right to say that Nabokov's characters are a projection of his own more than other authors?
I believe the most scientific way of answering that question is:
How many characters did Nabokov write?
What percentage of what percentage of them do you think are pure Himness, his true thoughts feelings and perspective on things?

What was his problem with swimming pools?

If Nabokov loved aesthetics so much, what did he think of FW?
>>
>>9144747
I think he just did not like dirt, sweat, piss and other things from other people in there. Obviously, they are there in microscopic amounts, but the thought of it probably irritated him.
>>
>>9143644
But could he really have, if he himself had to artistically inspired and executed, a very good-great 999 line poem (touching upon at least once styles of eliot, or even more directly, as eliot wrote long poems), could he really hate on eliot, if he (no matter if he felt, 'he wws doing it satirically, or mocking, making fun of poetry teachers? as lolita can be making fun of peadophiles... but this is different, because the poem is about artistic inspiration and quality, meaningfulness, the poem has seriously good qualities, he is not necessarily trying to say that paedephiles have really good qualities, it is just high quality language use,) and yes he didnt need a and ultimately that poems form to showcase his poetic and antiprosaic skills and expressive desires, observations, thoughts even if they are for other characters, potential real or impossible humans'.

so he hates on eliot, but then writes a poem potentially touching upon eliots style, and its considered a masterpiece. Is this simply saying, I can do what you do better than you?

But still, its hard to go line for line and say all the ones that are better, I havent read enough of each to say, but if it is possible nobokv wins, that is deffinitly that, but if there is some decent amount in which comparively, even though wholly the 999 poem is considered a masterpiece as itself, as a poetic work of art, line to line relates relatively line by line, even 20% of eliots lines are better, it would then be, nabookov almost having to admit, your style, and idea, and execution, is admirable, and inspiring, and it is fun to poetically play this way

I assume he's just joking, everybody loves jazz.
>>
>>9144684
its black.

Just kidding. Honestly, I think it's because a lot of the affect of jazz is lost in studio recording. You gotta see it live to get the whole picture. 4chan doesn't do "in the flesh" sort of deals.

>>9140397
WTF I love Nabokov now!
>>
>>9144688
>It is pretty jazzy
what other types of music do you think relate to his writing? I think of like piano playing in a tea room.

I know some of you think this is relative but it's not. I have to throw my post in the mob to say that jazz is in fact the best music. The fact that a lot of it is bad has to do with the fact that people who play jazz are explorers. There is so much more to be done in the jazz framework than in any other style of music, aside from things influenced by jazz. That means there is a higher chance to find something "off putting" in jazz than your formulaic, consistently bland and cheap rock and pop counterparts.

This is not to say rock and pop is always bad, but they only see the tip of the iceberg whereas jazz explores the deepest extents and the space it exists in. All poioneering music is going to be some ironic reflection of what we have now, somebody with a lucky voice, or things that have floated to the top from the help of the most musically aware jazz musicians.

I've been to jazz shows and they were no better than the recordings. It's just trash.

>>9145331
False, jazz is itself formulaic with an equivalent quantity of musical 'profundity' as all other forms of popular music, in addition to further aesthetic 'profundity' inflated by your kind.
>>
guys to be fair in 1962 jazz wasn't that great yet. I mean fucking CLASSIC quick opinions about genre you know nothing about. But if he had heard jazz in the 21st century he'd probably be a lot more impressed.
