michaelP:

this repetition sounds like the way music works it, rarely iterated
identically (except in forms like rap and dance forms that employ audio
samples, etc); the way things return is more in the form than the content
(in variations, key changes, ornamented or straight, inverted, retrograde,
sequenced, etc); knowing when enough is enough? the best music does... the
fading repeats at the end of Gorecki's Third Symph, perfect, making the
silence at the end stunning and lasting forever (audiences might wait a long
silent time to allow the silent call to make itself heard, before bringing
the piece to an empirical end through applause)...

he(a)r(e)'s something that makes me jumpjoy, from EmineM's 'The Marshall
Mathers LP', from the piece 'Remember Me?', this section wrapped up darkly
by RBX:

"Remember me? ("Several executions") Remember me? ("I have no remorse")
Remember me? ("I'm high-powered") Remember me? ("I drop bombs like
Hiroshima") For this, why it's the X, you retarded? 'Cause I grab the mic
and get down, like syndrome Hide in Rome and to the masses, without
boundaries Whice qualifies me for the term "universal" Without no rehearsal,
colleaged words is controversial Like I'm not, the one you wanna contest..."

and the beat goes on...

still in good, non-argumentative, mood
