Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

sheesh guys do you never read blogs or what

no. does anyone care about that kind of stuff?

ay yay yay

curtis hes not personally insulting you for being interested in gear stuff!! idk i dont even agree with him but you guys are like willfully misreading it

max are you calling us all idiots here or w/e

;-)

u_u

I'm not insulted, I just think he's full of shit abt this.

A blog seems to be a receptacle for half-formed and poorly conveyed ideas. Your readers are then supposed to hash out these ideas with you? Why not post to a message board then, where it's not all about you?

I agree that he should come down off his pyramidal bloggernaut and be a man of the people on ilm

this is exactly how I feel about and relate to blogs blogs and ILX/M

i just don't know why we are supposed to consider the economic realities behind the production of a daft punk album and not kanye or taylor or all the glitzy kpop he listens to, because guyman and Thomas talked about it a bit is not a good enough reason imo

tumblr needs a flag post feature

like idk why we should treat daft punk as anything other than international pop superstars

otm

kanye and taylor swift never talked shit on laptop musicians

would james vote moon or beatle?

this is totally a good enough reason but fuck i cant believe ive already spent this much time here *removes bookmark from thread*

sir, the only "economic reality" I see is that your tumblr sucks!

reading this as a letter to The Economist

loool

no max come back

i was just kidding

like idk why we should treat daft punk as anything other than international pop superstars

rip "daft" "punk"

Disappointing that the new The Knife album not just the sound of a knife cutting different materials

kinda does tho, in parts

because most of the production on a kanye record, and most mainstream rap and pop records, could have been done on a laptop/bedroom setup (and probably was).

Just a a big laptop really

cute pic of Kanye and his macbook pro

when you said 'production on a kanye record could have been done on a laptop' I had to google it. If you had said 'kanye wears a canadian tuxedo while in the studio' I would've called bullshit right away. but here we are.

sure there's a giant mixing board, but we're still talking about sample-based music here, for the most part. that board isn't generating those sounds, they're still coming from computers and samplers. running samples and software-generated sounds through outboard compressors and EQs is cool, but i don't think it makes as much as a difference as it does for live instruments.

a lot of times electronic music only hits that kind of gear at the mastering stage, and it doesn't necessarily make sense to do it during recording.

right, so it matters a lot for taylor swift albums and his tumblr is named after a t swift lyric

nice, owned

Not trying to own anybody. Just trying to figure out how it was a response to 乒乓's point, which I thought was a good one

taylor swift has an album 'my penis is made of dogshit'?

yup and it's great

I'm glad she's finally branching out

In title track, she fantasizes telling a room full of people about her dogshit penis but never actually does it. When she gets up to leave, cutest boy in room tells her 'I have a penis made of dog shit'. They split nachos at the drive-in

why?

i work at a dogshit factory so its ok to open that at work

i work at a penis factory so its ok to open that at work

are we seriously still making this argument. I thought we all got tired of it around watch the throne

true story original title of "22" was "doggie doo"

Get Satan (My Penis Is Made Of Dogshit) is the name of my dog

The same Kanye who's used live strings on every album?

the real crime in that kanye studio pic is he is wearing what appears to be beats by dre, no wonder MBDTF's production sounded like shit

Kanye works with Mike Dean who despite recording some of my fav hip hop ever (Geto boys, scarf ace, UGK) isn't the guy id go to for a nice sounding records these days. He's of the LOL stick an ultramaximizer on everything to make it pop school of production. Everything this record isn't.

lol at "scarf ace"
