What is the best way to listen to music now?
« on: September 09, 2019, 08:09:52 PM »
What are good ways to listen to music? I only have my laptop computer and a radio and a TV. For my birthday I want to get a better way to listen to music. I used to have a Bose CD player and radio but it broke years ago. I know nothing about music technology.

I own one CD of monks chanting a requiem Mass and there are lots of old CDs or rock and roll music that I don't want to listen to anymore, except as a way to listen so that I could learn about sin. I told my brother about rock and roll music that I could listen to rock music but that it sounded like all the musicians were left-handed and then he went into the whole surprised you don't think that left-handed people are really evil and I was like, kind of yes and no, in the land of legend left-handed people are evil but not all of them are in literal world, but there is a reason the nuns used to teach left-handed students how to write with their right hand. Then he said Ned Flanders wasn't evil. But, yes, left-handed.

I would like to listen to Church music and classical music. I don't know what the best was to listen to it is instead of my computer. I would not want to spend a lot of money but I would want speakers. Thanks for any advice.

There is absolutely zero correlation between being left-handed and being sinister or evil. It is an accident of genetics which hemisphere of the brain is dominant for writing.

While we're on the topic, there is absolutely nothing wrong with owning a black cat as a pet.

This is one of the few ways in which we today, are superior to, and more enlightened than, the ancients.

500 years ago many Christians in the Old World used to doubt that the savages in far-off lands had souls -- they wondered if they were human. Shall we re-visit that darkness and ignorance as well?

There are lots of "old wives tales" and legends that used to be believed. Traditions believed by old people. One of them is that baldness in men is caused by masturbation. Was that true? Perhaps sometimes? And why black cats? Why a mirror seven years? I try to think of such things. Why did the wicked witch dissolve and melt away when she touched water like the great flood or Baptism washed away the sins of the world? Things like that, old legends interest me. Or take vampire stories. What is the significance of the ways to kill a vampire?

But as interesting as legends are I am pulling my own thread off topic. So what is a good an inexpensive way to listen to music?

You can find some used computer speakers at a yard sale or goodwill.  Some have 3 speakers - left, right and base.  They’ll have a power plug and an audio jack.  Sound really nice.  Sign up for Pandora.com for free and you can search for Gregorian chant, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin - whatever you want.  (Maybe a little Ozzy Osborn for old times sake....haha j/k).

They believed it because they were uneducated to the truth, and wanted answers for things they couldn’t explain. And Yes, as a way to control people. It’s easier to control with fear...

I just use my iPhone with a Bluetooth speaker you can get at Walmart for $10. It’s loud enough to hear from 2 rooms away
