Eriksimon Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 81 to 90,strictly speaking.Or do you count from the 0th beat (0,1,2,3 in 4/4)? The third number decides which -ies it is. 1980 is not seventies. 1990 is not 80ies, etc. I can be pedantic too! Ha! There is no 0th beat, except maybe in a certain John Cage piece... 8) And besides, a two syllable count in number (zero) can be confusing. Nowt,one,two,three.... The point being the first year was year one. I'm going to have to stop you right there, that is but a choice to call it that. You can call the starting point zero, one or whatever you like. It is the only thing that is completely arbitrary. Yadayadayada Don't get me wrong, I understand the reasoning, but in the end it is reason that prevails over logic in these matters, yadayadayadarubarbrubarb and zero is both unreasonable and illogical, so... rubarb Also, zero doesn't exist that long yet - there were times when zero did not exist anywhere, yadayadabla blahyada most of the time, actually.... or at best as blahblahblah just the negation of one... and even now zero blabla is only known to exist in the mind of man. 'n sht. Nowaddamean? I opt to keep it simple and commonsensical. Blah Blah hahahayadayadarubarb So what you hear is what you get. Hence my mathimatically wayward way of decadising. Just say a year, and I'll tell you the cultural decade. The rest is just intellectual banter-gaming, seen that the whole decadising phenomenon is mainly about (popular) culture, about our memories, and about entertainment media needing a coathanger for their content, just in case they're not amusing us to death enough.

Eriksimon Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a 7-eleven. ...seemed like a fitting conclusion. But it probably isn't. O well...

Quote at 1'59" ps: Sorry for the nofidelity - but these are "my" Kiwi Beatles. Saw them live twice here, in the nineties. Classic band, to me. Note how you can understand the lyrics clearly, in spite of the nofi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillo jr Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 my answers were a bit cynical in places Do you still think I should participate, then ? I have a hard time communicating with humans already, let alone machines. Christian C'mon. We're all machines here. Everyone's welcome.
