NonAlignment Pact: Music in Seven Days from Seven Writers

Just a reminder as to why you should be reading NAP:

NonAlignment Pact: Music in Seven Days from Seven Writers

And I’m not pulling a “look at me, I’m Peter Murphy,” move here or anything. If I’ve learned anything from my years of soul crushing errors in judgment, it’s that if I want to have any chance of living to see the next year, then I’d better start microfocusing on my environment. I’d better begin to appreciate the miniscule and the mundane, because before long, I could be a dead man with an eternally tiny picture of the world. And that philosophy seems to work for me. But I will never shake the general disdain I have for the way people can be, the absolutely base and animalistic ugliness that we all too often share for each other. What I have a really hard time dealing with now is the fact that most people don’t seem to care too much about this. The prevailing wind says, “So what, sure we’re an ugly bunch, but at least we still have our rollover minutes.”
