Music for
Grown-Ups Newsletter
|
The Music For Grown-Ups Manifesto1. We celebrate great musicians, from Bach to Björk, Dylan to the Doors, Mozart to Miles Davis. And loads more. In all genres. From all ages. 2. We celebrate music that's engaging, original, risky, challenging, and life-affirming. 3. We get emotional about music. Emotion is what music's all about. 4. We listen carefully: singing along and dancing, though occasionally tempting, are distractions. 5. We listen to music for grown-ups on repeat play: it can handle it. 6. We cherish our music collection, because our heirs will still be listening to it one hundred years hence. 7. We ignore genre labels. Music is music. It's either good or bad. All genres have some music for grown-ups. 8. We ignore age: we listen to what we like, not just what's expected of someone in our "demographic". We ignore musicians' ages, too: if they're good enough, they're old/young enough. 9. We ignore much that's promoted as music for grown-ups: pop nostalgia, light classical, faux-jazz, guilty pleasures, "Adult Contemporary"… 10. We also try to ignore showbiz, celebrity and hype. We hereby guarantee that music for grown-ups will enrich your life.
All you gotta do is seek, listen and then exult!
