@ infectedmuchroom all you guys got to keep in mind just because this group are called infected mushroom doesn't mean that they do drugs. in this song vegetarians means staying off the drugs. IMO it's the people not taking drugs that they're trying to convert. They're diving into sounds that appeal to the mainstream, and once they've got em hooked they can give em anything and they'll love it. I have plenty of hunches Infected Mushroom has drug experience. As someone who has taken psychedelics and listened to their music for years, there's just too many quirks about their music that suggests it, from song titles to the very rhythms and noises that make the songs. I can't listen to B.P Empire (the album in full) without thinking "these guys were on some SHIT when they made this!" I'd be surprised if anyone could. Classical Mushroom is also pretty out there. |

@ Ryan Cacophony: "and I think the rhythm in this song reflect that, especially with the part in the intro where the meter changes around the melody, completely rearranging your interpretation of the melody...sort of like a perspective shift on life maybe." YES. You put into words what I have not been able to. But you are absolutely right. And I am speaking from experience =P |

From what I've noticed, people nowadays make the choice to become a Vegetarian just because it labels them so, not because its what they feel is right for them and their body, and so they follow the guidelines: no products from animals. They seem to feel that their decision to not eat a burger here or there actually makes a difference in animals' lives...but whether or not they choose to eat the meat, the cow has nonetheless been killed, and someone else will just come along and eat that burger for them. The same could be said for religion nowadays, the way that people choose a religion based on the label, not their true beliefs. IMO, a vegetarian has the right to be a vegetarian if they have rational reasons for not putting meat into their bodies (i.e. seeing it as unclean for the soul, etc.). Thinking that not eating meat saves animals' lives is just irrational in today's age...not to mention, it would seem that many of the animals on this earth are here simply for us to eat...it's delicious and often nutritious. IMO, vegetarians label themselves as someone that doesn't eat meat because they care about the animals that are used to make those products. I think these people are simply longing to be accepted. They feel that if a vegetarian were to know that they ate animal products, there's one more person in the world that wouldn't accept them, regardless of the fact that the many non-vegetarians are already accepting. Why not win both over: become a vegetarian, and they suddenly have the vegetarians on their side, and its not like the non-vegetarians are going to hold anything against you -- they accept that its a decision that the individual made for their life. What the people who label themselves on this basis fail to realize is that not being a vegetarian isn't going to be looked down upon by a rational vegetarian, because they understand that people make decisions for their own lives based on their own desires; the vegetarians that wont be accepting are the ones that are just like the person I've been speaking of -- that calls themself a vegetarian because of the group they're suddenly placed in by making the 'decision'. In the music world, a vegetarian is someone that chooses to listen to certain styles of music because of the label it creates for them, not because its truly what they want for themselves. They typically listen to rock, rap, country, or hip-hop, depending on which group they're trying to fit into. Unfortunately, this could be said for most people in today's society, with the way people are just longing to be accepted. To most of these people, the idea of electronica (their 'meat') is simply taboo. As soon as they enjoy that electronica, they're suddenly no longer accepted by most of their peers. The problem is that there's irrational thinking involved. People are just too damned worried about what other people think to make decisions for themselves because its what they want for themselves. By enjoying this meat, they wouldn't be accepted by their irrationally-vegetarian peers, but that's not what matters -- if its what they enjoy, they should just go with it, especially since the rational people in this world will accept them for who they are. We're not talking about just any meat here, either. We're talking the filet mignon of the music world; IMO, CD2 of Converting Vegetarians is the best CD I've ever heard from any artist...and I've heard A LOT. I've been all over many, various styles of music and artists and their unique perspectives...but nothing has ever sounded like CD2 of Converting Vegetarians. While it's not what's 'accepted', it's undeniably good, according to anyone I've ever met that's listened to it, whether its 'their style' or not. The beats are just the most successfully blended — though incredibly bizarre — sounds I've ever heard. I completely agree with whoever said that this is the pinnacle of IM's confidence in their music. The fact of the matter is, any 'Vegetarians' that listen to these CD's are bound to be opened to a whole new world of understand regarding music...that the style doesn't matter...its the music the matters — and as obvious as a statement as that may seem to many of you out there, it's something that isn't observed by most of the people in today's horribly corrupted society. |
