Title: Catchy Melody! Can't Get It Out Of My Head! Source:
Tavistock Institute-Committee Of 300 URL Source:http://www.illuminati-news.com/rock_and_mc.htm Published:Aug 13, 2010 Author:HOUNDDAWG Post Date:2010-08-13 05:46:30 by HOUNDDAWG Keywords:sausage pull Views:303 Comments:38
Among the conspiracies attributed to The Tavistock Institute was the creation of the 12-atonal system of "music".
This is defined (by wiki-another conspirator-come-lately) as "...a means of ensuring that all 12 notes of the chromatic scale are sounded as often as one another in a piece of music while preventing the emphasis of any[2] through the use of tone rows, an ordering of the 12 pitches. All 12 notes are thus given more or less equal importance, and the music avoids being in a key." link
The resulting music (which sounds like a cat walking on a piano played at high speed) was supposedly coupled with the planned social decay and youth rebellion that was The Beatles.
Now, as much as I love conspiracies, particularly those that accuse govt think tanks and NGOs of the most evil agendas, I really can't embrace those that just don't make sense to me. Below is an example of the 12 tone system by The Bill Evans Trio, and when I compare it to the absolutely "FAB" music that was released under The Beatles' name, it just doesn't add up.
Beatles tunes had a way of sticking in my head and making me green with envy because I didn't write the songs. But when I listened to the Bill Evans song the one thing I couldn't honestly say was "Catchy Melody! Can't Get It Out Of My Head!".

If you had the choice of ghost writing Beatles songs to further some long term evil lizard skullduggery or being famous (and rich, popular at parties and sexually exhausted) for your timeless compositions, which would you choose?
I mean, if someone had the ability to win every time at the track, in Vegas or in the stock market, would they be more likely to sell that skill for a salary and modest govt (or sheep dipped cover story) pension or, to go into biz for themselves?
Of course a truly demonic entity may have been able to touch the souls of young people with great rhythms, lyrics and melodies and remain immune to it, too. But, I find it implausible in the extreme that anyone who could compose timely tunes with such mass appeal would choose to function as an anonymous bureaucrat/enemy agent in some lofty British circle jerk of an institute.
I had much difficulty allowing this into my head ... so it didn't become catchy.
"The "only" reason I harp on this point is that some of my best friends in this life and others with good intentions have gone to prison still pressing the Constitution to their breast as the beast laughed and slammed the cell door shut.
Save some time and start this tune at 3:40 exactly !
The Lead guitar player is a "troofer" ... Kick their ass Matt Bellamy !

I don't buy the music is a conspiracy argument. We listen to what we grew up with, not because of some diabolical scheme, but because we liked it.
And now, I'm just like how my parents were. I hate todays "music" for the most part, for no other reason than because it's nothing but total crap. The Pop of today is the Disco of yesterday and it needs to be destroyed.
If there was a conspiracy, they'd have kept me hooked on the latest and greatest.
I think most octegenarians find this tune catchy but haven't the energy to make the "catch" !!!!!

Thanks for the ping. I suspect I would be like that guy in the movie Jumper if I could do that stuff. If I remember correctly the first place he "jumped" to was inside a bank vault and took out all the money he could carry. And was living high on the hog until the other jumper rudely accosted him.

He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

As uncultured as I am ... that was enjoyable, so pleasant to the ears.

I've heard this tune before, and a bunch more just like it, on KNTU, the local college jazz radio-station.

Bellamy's father, George, was rhythm guitarist in the 1960s pop group The Tornados, who were the first British band to have a United States number one song, with "Telstar".
Outstanding! His father's band knocked me out when I was a kid and now Matt is too!
Great playing and singing and an excellent song! It'll be hard to top that performance.

I actually learned TAKE FIVE when I was about 15 yrs old.
Of course I played it in the guitar friendly key of A minor (actually C key signature) instead of Paul Desmond's sax key of E flat minor (G flat key sig) My percussionist brother actually attended several of Joe Morello's local drum clinics, too. Back then it just wasn't that strange for rock musicians to know who Dave Brubeck & Co. were.
Those types of local guitarists were my early influences, and even my first club band used TAKE FIVE as a break song. Back then it was kewl to play rawk and Tawp 40 and to throw in a jazz standard in 5/4 time on occasion.
And when it came time to select a guitarist for the money making road show bands I was the kat because I could play that stuff, i.e. Misty, Shadow Of Your Smile, Carlos Jobim, etc., and the pop list.
It's interesting to note that TAKE FIVE and The Allman Bros WHIPPING POST were the only songs I ever recall playing with non standard (4/4, 3/4, 6/8,) time sigs. WHIPPING POST begins with an 11/8 sig then adds a beat becoming 12/8 when the singing starts.

Pop music: Playing three chords to thousands of people.
Jazz: Playing thousands of chords to three people.
Funny!
And the intermediate popularity is blues. My fave blues guitarists, Michael Burks, Coco Montoya, Tommy Khrushchev, er, Castro (hey, I get my commie names confused sometimes) play festivals that attract fans but they're nothing like the giant events That MUSE or FLOYD play(ed).
I soooo suck at time signatures. My band gives me endless guff for it. Being an autodidact, I let them start out the funky stuff and then just fall in. Afterwards, one of them will ask me, "What was that in?" and I usually just say, "Something not 4". The bastards. But they keep playing with me anyway, year after year.
It all works out. The banjo player can't ever tell what key we're in but he shreds it anyway.

And most of them, with the exception of Zappa, had no clue about music. I don't know about the Beatles but much of 1960's American pop was an obvious psyop in hindsight.
Counting is automatic with me. No matter what I'm doing (playing, singing, dancing, flirting) I know what beat of the measure I'm on.
I made a point of counting off the songs (that didn't begin on the downbeat of one, requiring a simple 4 count from the drummer) when I played with un-schooled country players for two reasons; I wanted them to understand that a pickup riff starts on 3 or 4 before the first bar, and, I wanted them to get the tempo right rather than scramble for the first few bars until things "solidified".

now that's my kind of instrumental. i'm not a jazz fan at all.
Try the LA4 (Sorry don't know how to link to videos.).
Preferably with the original line up:
Guitar: Laurindo Almeida
(When Andres Segovia was still alive Laurindo Almeida was acknowledged to be his only living equal. His guitar work can only be described as virtuoso.)
Drums: Shelley Mann (Had forgotten more about percussion than most know. Buddy Rich couldn't touch him on a bad day.)
Bass: Ray Brown (The Master of the Stand-up Bass.)

Constraints such as having to use each note in equal proportion, regardless of it's public image, has done for music what the frankfurt school did for world peace.

If music is defined as "a system of proportions in the service of a spiritual impulse" then this 12-atonal system is definitely in service to a deaf spirit. I've read that certain forces conspired to undermine great art and to replace it with pointless cubes and polymer-coated feces.
If this was the goal with this music system then it certainly did not factor into the Beatles music. The Lads may have been in service to some malevolent evil, but whatever it was it had a real talent for melody and lyrics that spoke to my spirit. In fact, if "Ol' Legba" popped up at The Crossroads with a contract for me to ink in blood back then I ain't sure I could have resisted.

Well said.
Suddenly a musical art form becomes an exercise in absurdity and an insult to the western ear.

I loved that song as a kid. It was a hit even before I started playing the mandatory (in VA public skewlz) 4th grade song flute and I certainly never sang the Japanese lyrics. But, years later I learned the chords and hummed the beautiful melody for my own nostalgic enjoyment.
I'm sure you know that Kyu Sakamoto was one of the victims of the 1985 crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123.
The President of JAL resigned in disgrace and the maintenance manager committed suicide, presumably because the shame of 520 deaths caused by an airframe that had seen too many pressurizations was more than a honorable Jap could live with.
I have since located photos of Kyu Sakamoto and viewed them with sadness as I listened to that beautiful song.
My first "guitar" was a Conn flute. A flute that cost the students $5 some 50-odd years ago sells for $2.49 now. I have to wonder if they were kicking back shekels to the crooked Confederates who invariably gravitated toward govt administrative jobs and budgets, like the school's mandatory flute program. My first flute was black but my next one was the nicest color of blue, and I wish I still had it.
