I've always loved Keats.

I have always loved Keats, but I hate poetry. What I liked about him was that he was trying to find the essence of what made poetry good. Sometime in my youth, I grabbed onto that idea and I never could quite let go of that concept. I find that I will analyze things without knowing it, just to determine what makes it good. It's one of my happy actions.

I have decided that I the best two examples of good percussion in rock are Kashmir and Lost in the Supermarket. Percussion has a history of directing musical traffic, and thankfully jazz and the big band remedied that; however, people often run a beautiful musical piece with poor percussion. It's like directing traffic in China. It works, but it's not pretty. In the case of Kashmir, the slightly shifted signature perfectly carries the melody. In the case of Lost in the Supermarket, the beat changes with the mood of the measures. The most important part is the the transitions. Both songs have perfect percussion transitions. The percussion is what makes the song in both cases, and if you play either without it, you have nothing note worthy.

I love music.
