RE: Music - Stij - 07-14-2013
ffffff yeah I totally did
It should be pretty clear to you at this point that I am terrible at remembering things
in other news I can no longer hear Michael McDonald without thinking of Yacht Rock and I'm completely okay with that
RE: Music - Stij - 07-15-2013
This looks like a really cool documentary
Supes, have you heard of it before?

Can't get enough of this song lately
Baroness has a knack for making metal that's genuinely catchy and melodic without being cheesy or pop-fluffy. Can't wait to see them in August.
EDIT: Really good jazzy electro track
RE: Music - BRPXQZME - 07-17-2013
I am like 80% sure I am okay with that, though.

Speaking of homages to older music: this isn't on youtube yet, but check out Mayer Hawthorne - Where Does This Door Go. Total Steely Dan/Hall and Oates yacht rock throwback stuff. It's cheesy as hell but there are a few good songs. "Reach Out Richard", in particular, bites Steely Dan's "Peg" but it is still really catchy.
Also, I don't want to rub salt in the Daft Punk wound, but these exist. (for real this time)

Yeah, I guess action figures are pretty reasonable merch for a couple of dudes who dress up like robots and are obviously huge anime fans.
Meanwhile, in DADJAMS news:
His brother had this record back in the 70s, he said. Good stuff. Kind of a jazzier Osibisa?
RE: Music - ICan'tGiveCredit - 07-20-2013
I found another grand gem of this musical age.
Well the video was from 5 years ago so I guess it counts <:D
but anyway, it's from Wax Tailor (producer)
when will the coolness stop hapening? :^Y
RE: Music - Stij - 07-21-2013
Hahaha please do. What made you think of that?
also what are your feelings on this
RE: Music - Stij - 07-25-2013
I agree! Music can be schlocky and fun and still well-made. One reason I dislike a lot of music blogs (Pitchfork etc.) is because they're so hopelessly self-important. Even metal blogs. Especially metal blogs. You'd think a genre that's so over-the-top would have a better sense of humor about itself.
RE: Music - Stij - 07-26-2013
Woah Supes have you heard this
RE: Music - Stovie - 07-26-2013
Going to jump in here with some martial industrial.
RE: Music - Stij - 07-27-2013
I like it a lot! I've never really delved into Basement Jaxx but I know you've posted a few of their tracks in the past and I've enjoyed them. Would you say Remedy's their best album?
Unfortunately the other new track they posted is kind of awful

RE: Music - CSJ - 07-30-2013
Dammit. I can't figure out the uncredited samples on this track. It's beyond me.
RE: Music - Stovie - 07-30-2013
I'm not sure why this is so great, but it is.

That’s why the Soviet Union went to the effort of producing some great classical musicians, and allowing Western classical musicians to perform as goodwill gestures—less lyrics, less message, less problem! Well, sometimes there is a pretty strong message, but this way nobody gets in trouble who isn’t supposed to.
At this time, I would like to point out that this was state-approved music:
As it turns out, though, what the proletariat really wanted was a bit of rock and roll, too (that and smuggled blue jeans). Who knew?
RE: Music - Stovie - 07-31-2013
Speaking of rock, one of my friends gave me this album on vinyl not long ago.
Awfully great music for making art to.

Russia has always been a bastion of Classical Music, but they did as much to destroy it as they did to sustain it. Some of its best classical musicians suffered immensely during the Stalinist era, for both ideological and political reasons. In many cases, musicians relied on political patrons for support; the more patrons you had, the more performances you could make, the more money you could therefore make and the more publicity you got.
That said, classical music did maintain greater mainstream traction for longer - primarily due to political interference. Jazz and rock 'n roll were seen as a 'foreign influence' and a clear tie to the corrupt, capitalist world outside the Soviets.
RE: Music - BRPXQZME - 08-02-2013
Yeah, I guess my point is more that there was this insidious implication that the state would make or break the artist. Both, really. (The Radio Yerevan was asked, What is a Soviet musical duet? The Radio Yerevan answers, It is a musical quartet after a trip abroad.)
