OMFG fantasma

that album shaped everything about me as a 12 and 13 year old

i love fantasma

 

[debaser]

that bit in mic check when the acoustic guitar comes in is probably my favorite sequence of music for all the rest of time.

Any godspeed fans?

if not this is usually the song that people enter the scene with
http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=GZFzJr9NnPE&feature=related

gotta have some patience to listen to it but quite amazing. Esp if its in flac with a good setup.

 

[bbb]

for some reason I was never really into GY!BE although I've tried listening to a lot of their ****

 

[Jun.]

I think its one of those bands/genres you can't really be "into" because that'll mean that you spend your days listening to 30 minute segments of ambient noise and narration. I basically only listen for the build ups and unique instrumentation.

 

[bbb]

yea maybe, I feel the same way with sunn O))) and sigur ros

 

[Jun.]

anyone wanna talk headphones/speakers?

Always curious what your listening mediums were

 

[Adam M!]

who was that guy who promised me a list of his sickest albums and never delivered

Sony MDR-V6

I've had it for a few months

[Lovage]

used to be really into them

then i decided they didn't have enough substance and are too dramatic
(this was a period in my life with too much drama and not enough substance)

 

[SuperRad]

godspeed are tight
f#a#inf. is one of those albums i only listen to once every couple of months but it blows me away everytime.

a silver mt zion is pretty good too, but they aren't as MINDBLOWING as gy!be. tracks like blindblindblind and i fed my metal bird... are really good though

 

[Fly_Amanita]

I don't know too much about the Constellation Records bands, although I have a few albums by GY!BE, A Silver Mt. Zion, and DMST. DMST is probably my favorite band on that label.

 

[SuperRad]

any recommendations for Do Make Say Think? I never really gave them a shot.

 

[Fly_Amanita]

& Yet & Yet is good.

 

[Jun.]

I'm kinda scared to say this but...

I think Ok Computer is overrated. Sure it has some good songs but I don't think it should be #1 on so many best album ever lists. Am I missing something here? Any die-hard radiohead fans wanna prove me wrong right now?

 

[SuperRad]

radiohead sucks
adam will come in and say something about how not liking radiohead makes me bad at liking music or something
but really, it's boring as ****
ok computer/kid a never caught my interest, and at this point i've listened to both about 5-10 times and on a variety of drugs
i'm willing to say i will never like them

 

[MIGHTYFOOL]

DUBSTEP ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDpCQ437bsE

please for the sake of good electronic music stop listening to hardcore and trance

 

[bbb]

karma police is the only radio head song worth listening to

 

[SuperRad]

DUBSTEP ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDpCQ437bsE

please for the sake of good electronic music stop listening to hardcore and trance

dubstep isn't much better, from what i've heard
i hung out with my friend who aspires to be a dubstep dj and it sounded like the same ****ing song for like 2 hours straight

but yeah, dubstep is better than trance at least.

 

[MIGHTYFOOL]

theres always few and far between.....

what do you like man?

 

[VideoKidHEERO]

karma police is the only radio head song worth listening to

Wait, are you implying that there are other Radiohead songs?
Lol that can't be. If so, there's no way they are any better tahn Karma Police.

 

[SuperRad]

in terms of electronic/dance music? not much these days. i got into the electro craze right around the beginning of the ed banger stuff getting big (justice, sebastiAn), but i kinda moved away from that stuff over time. still listen to Justice's album sometimes. the catchy/poppy/sometimes kitschy aspect is favorable to dubstep's 'harder' sound

 

[Lovage]

dumbstep sounds like cows farting

 

[MIGHTYFOOL]

haha i used to be all about ed banger stuff.......i switched to more fidgety bass house after the whole catchy electro craze haha....i love everything ive just been trying to make dubstep recently.....so ive been all about it.haha

 

[MIGHTYFOOL]

lol at lovage

thats super funny dude

i still think that's too soon to say something like "i will never like them." i dunno people write **** off too easily. i mean i still haven't liked de la soul and i've been trying to like them for five years, but every time i listen to de la soul is dead i expect to like it. it took me over a year to realize how amazing 36 chambers was. i just keep trying and sooner or later it clicks and i'm in love.

 

[bbb]

de la soul is dead is a good album

 

[Fly_Amanita]

I second Adam. Can is one of my favorite bands, but it took me over a month to like each of their three best albums (Tago Mago, Ege Bamyasi, and Future Days for anybody who is curious). As another example, I didn't like Nick Drake's Bryter Layter at all the first several times I heard it, but after forgetting about it for over a year and giving it another shot later, I enjoyed it much more and now I think it's great.


I'm listening to Continuum's recording of some of Conlon Nancarrow's works (creatively titled Continuum Performs Nancarrow) right now. I love the huge variety of classical music from the 20th century. I need to learn more about modern classical music, though; the only modern composer I follow at all is Thomas Adès.

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

I've actually been looking into Nancarrow myself. I like this one:

I was also researching other musical scales like Bohlen-Pierce and various microtonal stuff. Julian Carrillo has some interesting works, he was apparently nominated for a Nobel Prize in Physics also:

I have come to a similar conclusion as Brian regarding Radiohead. I don't think he means to say that he will definitely never like them, just that it's unlikely.

LMFAO that video

we went over to a friend of a friend's house on 420 (at night) and hung out with some really weird guys. we played the cardgame 'bang' (not very fun) and one dood showed us pon de floor. he then went on to talk about how in jamaica people randomly start humping on the streets like this, except 100x more explicit.

FUN NIGHT

 

[pockyD]

wtf

bang *****

yeah but then you get to a tricky slippery slope of self-fulfilling prophecy. like even fi you think you 80% probably will never like them that's still going to affect your listening experience. and despite what people say it's very hard to be like "oh just because i say i probably won't like this doesn't mean i'm listening with a 100 percent opening mind." any negativity means you're gonna be thta much more likely to notice anything you dont like and ignore what you do.

 

[SuperRad]

so
titus andronicus's the monitor is probably the best album of the year so far
check it out if you like rock and history
