2010 - 2020From the Editor.Over the past years I have kept a running document called ‘Why I Listen to Music’in which I have collected quotes about what music means to me. Here is a smallsample:»»“We were singing along to every word of the songs that helped make us who weare” - Lady Lamb the Beekeeper»»“Words will fail me but music never will.” - Everett True»»- “More music.”- “More music. Always more music” [I don’t remember what this is from, but itis true.]»»“To do something with music is always beyond good and evil.” - my friend Robparaphrasing Nietzsche»»“This music was rather like time frozen to become space.” - Hermann Hesse»»“And it worked. Because this song took away the panic. And maybe in the end,that’s all any of us are after with this music thing–it can take you from oneemotional place and instantly put you into another. It’s one of the many thingsthat makes music—which when you think about it is way more weirdly abstract& immediate in how it communicates than just about any other art form—sopowerful. We’ll never agree on which music does that, but it’s the power thatmakes us argue and shout and beg and laugh as we try to share it w/ people, toturn our feelings into words.” - Scott Creney»»“What was it that Rilke wrote? That music raised him out of himself, and neverreturned him to where it had found him, but to a deeper place, somewhere inthe unfinished.” - Karl Ove KnausgaardI look back at these lines years later and know exactly what they mean. I can’t say itany better than them, but I’ve always hoped I could show it in my own writing.You are reading a collection of music reviews posted on my blog, Beautiful Freaks,between 2010 and 2020. These are not necessarily reviews of my favourite albums,but simply my favourite reviews. They are divided in a few broad categories: Fictions,Political, Live, Criticism and Family & Friends. The center-fold contains someadditional pieces that didn’t fit anywhere else.In this decade I have written much less about music. But this magazine is not anending.Caspar JacobsBeautiful Freaks03
