Actually I was gonna ask the word buffs from this here place the same question. Probably some of those barbaric languages like German have something on that.

Yeah, German's got to have one. Those Germans have a word for everything! Come on smart people, help us out. To you, is it kind of like feeling melancholy and liking it? Like you don't want to not feel melancholy, so you'll listen to music or read things that will keep you in that mood? Maybe that's just being a teenager. Or is it really a mixture of melancholy and happiness?

Yes. That is correct.

Well, I was talking about the real mixture of melancholy with the serene acknowledgement and appreciation of that melancholy, which leads to a state - not of whiney faux-grief naively expressed outwardly by eyeliner and silly mops, but, quite on the contrary, of acceptance and contentment with one's place in Nature. That's just what it is: quiet, self-contented contemplation tinged with a taste of somberness - a bit akin to what the japanese call mono no aware.

Would you say bittersweet? I suppose that's more an experience with both melancholy and happy aspects rather than an appreciation of the melancholy.

Doc, yeah, that's exactly the meaning, only it would have to be possible to use it alone, without a qualifier (in this case you would have to say I"m in a bittersweet mood", or something like that.

That's makes one an asshole, does it?

You put that, or another song by that band, like a few pages back.  Oh god, so good.  I have probably listened to it at least once a week.  You have any of their recorded shit you could share?  It is like the best of wavves, but better and not just fake computer distortion, instead reverb!

What a dick.  Don't most bands?

This gives me a good LFM rant:  I never fuck*ng understood those dick bags who all like stoner music but hate pot.  Feel indifferent about it?  I guess that works, though the whole point of the music is it sounds much better stoned (though so does all music.)  Actually, I never understood how anyone could really dig on music without digging on drugs.  They are the best complementary items I have ever found.  One time I listened to Only by Beans while on 2CE, it was the closest I have ever come to actually floating in space (well, we are floating in space, but you know.)

I haven't smoked pot in a looooong time but, even incredibly high, I couldn't stand most Phish and could... take or leave the Grateful Dead at best.

I think I'm just predisposed to "progressive trippy" stoner music instead of "crunchy hippy" stoner music.

Yeah, I wasn't talking about that stoner music.  More good stuff, pretty much Super Furry Animals to Kyuss?  You know, good, solid stoner pop and rock, I guess?

I'll give you one thing:  if people really dig on Phish (Grateful Dead isn't awful, but I don't really dig them) and don't get high that would be the worst case scenario for my hypothetical.
