Sasha Frere-Jones: Really?????

lol @ this circling back to gucci mane but it's actually pertinent to the discussion of the sasha frere jones article that is being discussed itt.

lol what doors are these j0hn d.

yeah i'm just saying though cuzza his voice and style it's not like ppl are going to instantly notice "hey he's saying really weird/funny/cool punchlines" the way that like MF Doom really says HEY CRITICS LOOK AT ME I AM A WEIRDO IN A MASK you know?

like i'm sure you could just hear it and have it pass by you like another club rap song and not notice that shit

(i love doom btw)

deej if that doesn't parse instantly as elbowing deej in ribs I don't know what I'm doin wrong

Apparently not elbowing him hard enough.

burial may have only played to a hundred stoned hippies in hoodies but all of those stoned hippies went home and started dubstep message boards

if louis was alive i bet he'd make a dubstep remix of Elbow

RIP LJ ;_;

gucci mane: big and rich for '09?

hahahahahahahahahahaha omar

doom is great

tbh tho, SFJ was on the lil wayne bandwagon like a lot of people & it's pretty irresponsible for him to have recognized what wayne did and write the article that he did now w/o mentioning gucci mane

Totally irresponsible.

Was there already a clusterfuck thread about the Doom article in the NYer?

what a disaster for responsibility

i guess if u 'love the game' of indie re: omar's indie-nfl parallel then yah gucci could be yr big n rich

Totally irresponsible.

If you don't appreciate advanced chord changes, you have no taste in music. Stop making fun of this guy because he has more taste than you.

Sondre Lerche is amazing, btw, but his first two albums were his best, and he hasn't managed to follow them. Partly because the production has been too "rough" on the followers. The first two were more polished-sounding, which suited him better.

...

lol geir droppin' the lerche bomb

this shit is on like donkey kong

A) I too miss hip-hop’s blues-based swing.
B) I really like the myers article, and am pretty sure that for the most part formal innovation lost its way sometime in the last 20-30 years or so.

Was there already a clusterfuck thread about the Doom article in the NYer?

dunno if there's been a thread. I didn't even read that thing, I was surprised they published that piece after SFJ wrote a big Madvillainy article not that long ago.

Geir I hate to break this to you but there's no such thing as an "advanced chord change"

Pretty sure the bard class was able to play an "advanced chord change" once it got to 12th level.

saving throw against Gm7b5

i've been aug'n all my chords lately, shit sounds so smart

but then i might just throw in a diminished, keep it fresh you know?

my thing on piano right now is anchoring the chord on the 6 - instant fake bill evans

i like to use a sus4, really give it that BREAKING NEWS feel

oh man I am seriously feeling that, like to add the sus4 passing from tonic to either 4 or minor 6th

woah bust the scientifical j0hn, i'm feelin' that shit.

burial may have only played to a hundred stoned hippies in hoodies but all of those stoned hippies went home and started dubstep message boards

i know this is like 100 posts ago but its only been an hour and i just wanted to drop an appreciative "lol"

no you see, it's kind of like a knock knock joke, so it's not funny

Geir I hate to break this to you but there's no such thing as an "advanced chord change"

Yes, there is, and the middle eight in "Two Way Monologue" - Lerches best song - is a perfect example of it.

No, Geir. You like the chords. No chord change is "advanced." They're all one chord to another chord. What passes for theory in your concept of music is a total joke. Don't talk about things you don't know about, thanks, yr buddy, jd

in your defense there does seem to be one other person on the internet who believes the term "advanced chord change" has meaning

Some chord changes are more advanced than others. The most boring and unimaginative variant there is is various incarnations of Major I - Major IV - Major V. Typically found in musically inferior genres like country, folk, 50s rock'n'roll and R&B.

(Advances chord changes most be plural to give any meaning, as it is the combination of changes and not just one change that gives meaning to the term)

The typical clever type of chord changes - like the examples above - is changing key all the time, confusing the listener, and sort of requiring some sort of musicological schooling to really be able to appreciate it. Quality music is about the mind, not the body!

yo fuck some sort of musicological schooling, i got ears they work fine

moonship if I can't find out what that image was going to be I am going to bust some advanced chord changes of sorrow

lol Geir you troll you, anybody with any schooling knows better than to make sweeping claims like the ones you speciaize in, back under the bridge with you now

frank gambale and geir are the only two people with enough musicological schooling to understand advanced chord changes

it's not just me right? I mean my dad played jazz piano for 40 years and I can't conceive of him talking about "advanced chord changes"

"yes, son, I-IV is very simple. IIm-VIaugb5, that's a very complex chord change."

I just made up that 2nd chord btw hope everybody enjoys it
