Why Hippy Health-Care isn't Cute
After I released 'A Love Song for Love Songs' last week, I wondered what to do next. It certainly was my most popular post to date, and the attention, while not overwhelming, did garner some traffic and hopefully a few new readers to this paltry web log. So a natural question followed. Where to take these new readers next?
Should I continue in the vein that led them to the blog in the first place? Obviously ALSFLS was written from a fairly positive viewpoint, and I hope that people found it somewhat uplifting, if not entertaining. It was designed to be inclusive of everyone, and I took great care to make sure nobody would walk away from it feeling as if their world-view had been challenged. Yet as any regular reader would know, that's something I often do. Skepticism is not inherently confrontational, but by the skeptic's acceptance of only that for which there is compelling evidence, and therefore the rejection of pseudoscientific or faith-based claims, often people find skeptics to be just that.
A Love Song for Love Songs - The Podumentary
What's this you ask? A documentary?
Not really, rather, a podumentary. That means I took the audio from one of my podcasts, and turned it into a little short film. It was quite a bit of work, so if you enjoy it, please share it with your friends on Facebook or Twitter.
The title betrays how I feel about music, something that profoundly serves to both express and fuel human creativity. The message of this piece is an attempt to celebrate music from a scientifically informed position, as well as portray the beauty that we humans bring into the Universe.
Why does music rock so hard? What about it makes it endlessly interesting, utterly soul nourishing, and so thoroughly distracting from the work I'm supposed to be doing?
Come on in and enjoy a 'podumentary' you can dance to! We'll look at the value music has, where it came from, and why we should never stop wigglin' our butts.
