Thank you so much! I try really hard to add a lot of dynamism to my music, so I'm glad that kind of freneticism comes through without being too much. I was also learning fm synthesis (honestly I'm still learning fm synthesis) while making this, so all of the sounds have this very metallic and almost experimental nature to them (which I like a lot, but I also like a lot of stuff that lost people just call "noise", so my opinions are a little skewed lol). Again, thanks for the feedback, and I'm happy you thought it was fun!
I've been listening to a lot of Ornette Coleman, Luciano Berio's Sequenza III (which is some pretty insane choral stuff), and a bunch of different things by Anton Webern.
I'll check it out. Thanks!
But what about open faced sandwiches? And cutting a burrito in half lengthwise (admittedly a dumb thing to do, but hey it's a thought experiment) would make it fit that definition of a sandwich as well. I do like where you're headed though, and I think we can definitely work with the idea that the way the bread is applied is important to what we consider a sandwich. I certainly think that it has to be a flat piece (or pieces) of bread on which the set of ingredients are applied. Your definition brings to light something I was playing around with as well: the idea that sandwiches are more defined on how they look than how they're actually made. Thus a sandwich could be anything that is surrounded by flat (or relatively flat) objects of the same general materials. However, this begs the question of what multidimensional sandwiches would look like (which is a super weird thing to thinks about).
As soon as I saw "accordions" I was wondering if someone would mention this song! I found out about it through Madvillainy, but it's super cool seeing how Madlib changed it and how both songs kinda have their own unique ideas that they revolve around!
"Lil Boy" - Death Grips (Alt Hip-Hop/Experimental Hip-Hop/Experimental Electronic) Album cover is NSFW "Ex Lion Tamer" - Wire (Punk) "blkswn" - Smino (Hip-Hop/Jazz Rap) "Mad Nice" - DANGERDOOM (Hip-Hop) Trying something where I only post genre titles instead. I felt like I wasn't characterizing the songs well enough and I was forcing opinions that may not necessarily be universal.
Thanks for sharing this. The lyrics are quite applicative to so many situations, and I think that is a testament to the genius behind the sound design as a whole. Having been through a harsh breakup (and still recuperating from that experience), this song really speaks volumes about how someone (or something I guess) can stay on one's mind
"Full of Fire" - The Knife A nine minute thought provoking banger (with a pretty crazy music video too) "Pork Soda" - Glass Animals I didn't care much for Glass Animals last album even though I loved Zaba, but this track really stuck out to me (I think it's the pineapples) "Redbone" - Childish Gambino Ever since I saw Get Out this song has been in the back of my mind That's it for this week. I haven't been able to listen to a lot of music because finals are coming up.
Thanks for this! It'll make my long night of studying much easier.
Thank you so much. I really needed this.
That line of argument doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If commas meant "and" then why not use semicolons instead? (I'm not trying to argue with you; I'm just putting into text something I noticed.)
I'll give these a listen; thank you so much!
I really hope Netflix starts bringing in more classic films like this. It'd be so nice to have a place where I can easily find old films that I haven't been able to watch.
I'll check out the other guys you mentioned, but Outkast is fantastic
I haven't actually heard of Billy Blue before! The song you linked was pretty dope, so I'll definitely check out more of his stuff.
Sounds like I'll enjoy him cause I love all of Hellfyre Gang!
Oh for sure. If I had more time to consistently sit down and watch movies I would definitely signup for filmstruck.
I know the classic example of his rhyming prowess is That's That, but I think Guv'nor is crazy because he uses Eyjafjallajökull and rhymes every single syllable!!
"Silent Treatment" -Blanck Mass I've just recently found out about this band (and by proxy this record label) and I really dig their industrial/electric vibe. It's way more accessible than most industrial/electronic music as well. "No Natural Order" -Pharmakon Continuing off of the same record label, I actually found out about Pharmakon by looking through past weekly music threads. I think her take on industrial music is absolutely fantastic. Everything she has put out (that I've listened to) is raw, and emotional, and so so very dark. "Space Oddity (cover)" -Seu Jorge Disclaimer: one of my all time favorite movies is The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. I think this cover is wonderful. It's filled with all kinds of emotion. Seu Jorge's voice is tremendous and his guitar playing compliments that perfectly. I highly recommend checking out the full soundtrack to Life Aquatic. "Lazarus' -David Bowie The music video freaks me out I'm not gonna lie. "Them Changes" -Thundercat I love this song and I'm so happy it's on his new album. If you haven't yet, please check out Drunk! It's a super quirky look into the mind of Thundercat. "Boogie Stop Shuffle" -Charles Mingus Mingus, in my opinion, can do no wrong. He was such a fabulous bassist and musician in general. I think this song really shows off his chops as a composer.
I really dug this album. It's super groovy but also hilarious. Thundercat mixes emotions together so well to bring out this weird yet cool cohesive project. The only things I didn't like so much about this album was that there was more focus put on the lyrics than in past Thundercat projects. I'm not trying to say the lyrics were bad or anything (I thought they were poignant), but more so that when I listen to a Thundercat song I expect his instrumental to be front and center and his lyrics to be more on the side and understated. The other thing I had a problem with is that I can only take so much of Thundercat's falsetto vocals, and I think he falls back on them (be it as a joke or as a serious musical motif) too often on this album. Otherwise, I thought the production was fantastic and the stories as well.
Hahaha, and I thank you greatly for that!!
You should definitely try and find the entirety of Perfect Lives! It's wonderful. Robert Ashley's voice is mesmerizing and the instrumentals behind him form this neat web of sonic landscape.
Wow. I can't stop bobbing my head to this song. I love the synths and the ever so slightly bitcrushed bass line. And those subtle percussive elements are absolutely wonderful.
You're last point about musical movies really hit home for me. I never thought about how often (famous) musicals are about rich white people doing rich white people things. I've never had a problem with the concept of musical numbers in film, but I've certainly noticed that the majority of musicals only use that expressive power to further a preconceived idea of what the "golden era" of Hollywood was. I could never put a finger on why that bothered me until now, so thank you. (Also I'd just like to point out that the desparity, both in form and content, between klein's and flag's comments made me chuckle a little bit)
I've wanted to see him live for so long! He's been a huge inspiration to my bass playing, so actually getting to see him would be amazing. It takes so much skill to play the six string bass like he does (aside from just playing all of the chords and stuff) because that's an instrument that just wants to make noise. It's a constant balancing act of making sure the notes you want to play are heard and all of the excess buzzing you can create isn't.
I highly recommend his stuff with Flying Lotus and Kamasi Washington!
I dual main Falco/Falcon and yeah I go to my weeklies as often as I can. I'm trying to go to Big House later this year as my first big tourney (I'm in Ohio so a bunch of people usually carpool)
BMSR is great! You should definitely check out Shpongle as well!
Dolphin has been a life saver for me. And Ganon is dope!
