― flopson, Thursday, 27 October 2011 02:20 (twelve years ago) link
i have a really hard time imagining people listening to his music
― flopson, Thursday, 27 October 2011 02:21 (twelve years ago) link
i listen to his stuff and associated side projects all the time, why do you have a hard time imagining people listening to it? not sure what your point is, skaters are def on the most defensible end of the hypnagoogly spectrum

this is the album i heard, maybe it's an exception in his catalogue?
― flopson, Thursday, 27 October 2011 02:32 (twelve years ago) link
also an xp - ime almost all drone music isn't really about a dynamic performance so much as zoning the fuck out. have seen ferraro live a few times and it wasn't much different than most other bay area diy noise stuff i've seen, except maybe for the theatrics of caroliner et al

i like that album but his 'best' or least best regarded album is probably 'last american hero' which is a lot more layered/composed imo i mean im not a huge fan and theres an extent to which defending this stuff is sorta too personal so w/e but i think hes done some p amazing stuff
whiney i kept looking around kind half-heartedly for u on saturday @ neon marshmellow but then felt it was weird to go and talk to you when i thought i saw you also i mostly convinced myself it wasn't you since i dont really know what you look like.

monopoly child star searchers have so many amazing song/album titles that seem so perfectly designed to piss off you ppl
― it's time for the purpculator (psychgawsple), Thursday, 27 October 2011 02:44 (twelve years ago) link
this is cool

this track off the new james ferraro cracks me uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2nvbwlCX_k

"there you go, sir"
last american hero is far and away his best release, imo. conjures up so many different landscapes and emotions

oh lol, can't read, Lamp otm
― blank, Thursday, 27 October 2011 02:50 (twelve years ago) link
lol something tells me that 'far side virtual' album is totally up my alley, that track is v similar to ford and lopatin if you ignore the goofy sample
― it's time for the purpculator (psychgawsple), Thursday, 27 October 2011 02:52 (twelve years ago) link
wow, some of the song titles on that thing... "PIXARnia and the future of norman rockwell" ? "fro yo and cellular bits" ?

maybe you are drawn to diy noise stuff that is for zoning the fuck out? there definitely is quite a bit of that, but there is a good amount of structured and/or more energetic and varied stuff going on in the bay area noise scene.
― sarahel, Thursday, 27 October 2011 02:59 (twelve years ago) link
it doesnt sound that much like f+l, really, its much softer and contemporary. its closest analogue is like instrumental passages that wouldve soundtracked 'multimedia' tech presentations half a decade or so ago, or mark mothersbaugh's compositions for the first boomblox soundtrack imo. my biggest problem w/ the album is that lacks any real rigour or larger critique/pov its just sorta oh, yeah, this is disposable music ok
― INDIE BAND (Lamp), Thursday, 27 October 2011 03:03 (twelve years ago) link
i mean, i am drawn to zoning out in home-listening experiences with drone music, sure. it's not something i seek out for live performances tho, and i saw a p wide x-section of approaches and energies that still translated to the audience having more or less the same reaction (obviously this could just be *my* reaction, i'm def not above projecting)
i'm listening to the album now and it still reminds me a lot of certain tracks on the f&l album, which has some 'soft & contemporary' moments imo. but if you wanna talk abt influences or older stuff i agree with your comparisons. i think it reminds me most of a patrick o'hearn album, the kind of thing that happens when new agey artists decide to play with early computers. thomas dolby did this kind of thing every once in a while, maybe even laurie anderson or david van tieghem or a lot of later pd pop-minimalist stuff. i love this kind of sound, so i guess i am predisposed to not finding it disposable, but i can def see how this album presents it that way

kind of kind of kind of blah

it's like "scumsoft" stretched out for 40 minutes
― blank, Thursday, 27 October 2011 04:13 (twelve years ago) link
it is curiously moving at times, like the soaring instrumental break after virtual chef 1 says "1000 pounds" in the track above. maybe i'm just a sucker for his schtick.

Watching whiney watch James Ferraro was a highlight of the weekend imo.

READING RAINBOW = BLEEDING RAINBOWREASONS WE CHANGED OUR NAME FROM READING RAINBOW TO BLEEDING RAINBOW:
- We like the name Bleeding Rainbow better.
- It is trippy as shit.
- We didn't want to get a cease and desist letter from PBS.
- We were sick of being named after a children's t.v. show.
- We were sick of people fixating on it and making dumb jokes/comments about it. (even though it was our own damn fault.)
- Carrie Brownstein didn't like the name Reading Rainbow.

If dude is under 40 years old, that's a p dope reference imo

the moniker comes from an engraving on a statue in his old Glasgow digs, although he later discovered that it's also the name of a river confluence in New York State – "So it's quite cool, it means there's a Hudson Mohawk Kayaking Club," he reveals, proudly

You notice chillwave names are from the most mainstream of 90s children's entertainment.

yeah actually this stuff has totally moved into Internet/cyber territory over the last year or so. shifted in a large way from analog/video to virtual/digital
― Chris S, Monday, 16 July 2012 23:55 (eleven years ago) link
there are already last.fm results for bands called geocities and netscape, though not many scrobbles for either yet so there's still a chance to take those names over
