♥☮☯♫ PC MUSIC ♫☯☮♥ ☺☺☺ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°✌

DIY as sound: hannah diamond sounds like a member of the slits as much as she does a spice girl, is kind of the point

Nice point

they hardly merit this much babble

Good music is for playing bad music is for babble

PC Music = toytown techno + 20+ years - spontaneity

More than 26 mins of music here.

more like floppy disk music

nice to see thomp's posts being engaged with so vigorously

I have one piece due today and two more that are due very soon, apologies for not devoting my exceedingly ample free time to a message board post

I just listened to that PC Music Vol 1 thing

so like this shit reminds me of like every time you go to a noise/weird band type show and one of the kids who dress like brandon walsh's mom from 90210 gone gutter punk has decided that they like pop music and they have some electronic "side project" that comes on between bands and so they dick around with their laptop and shit and their friends stand around and watch it and no one dances and then another noise band comes on

i thought that was just what kids did now

UMS nailing it.

rip ornette coleman

it's more palatable when it's your friends dicking around in an art gallery or someone's living room

anagram of 'enamel cornetto'

why

kind of appropriate for this trainwreck

kids who dress like brandon walsh's mom from 90210 gone gutter punk

lmao

seriously tho it's everywhere

xp let's not pretend this trainwreck is about anything other than paying attention to imago

seriously tho it's everywhere

Links?

matt nailed it

strange spike in GIS requests for cindy walsh today

Why are you being assholes, especially after thomp tried to raise the level of discourse?

stop begging for people to say what you want

I'm going to use that one during the EOYs, ty

my level of discourse is fine!

don't feel bad cuz you type 8 zillion words of b.s. then i come in the thread like a boss and for sale: baby shoes, never worn your ass

didn't mean you, your post at least had some content germane to the discussion even if its spiritual guide ernest hemingway would be proud of its bullheaded dismissive machismo

lol matt

Like it's cool that some indie kids have mastered Ableton enough to create this collection of stuttery production tics and English accent voicemail system sex doll vocals but I feel like pop and dance and hip hop has done stuff like this better for years

'English accent voicemail system sex doll vocals'

ok now you're just showing off

can someone throw up a link to another example of the pervasive electronic 'Cindy Walsh' twee scene?

almost every PC Music track I've played has made me want to turn it off and listen to 2 Bad Mice instead

That is the best idea on earth, DJP.

I guess I have trouble getting what's meant to be new or unique or particularly clever here given that dance remixers have been (literally) deconstructing, recontextualising, reconnecting, interrogating, exaggerating and yes sometimes taking the piss out of pop music (actual pop music that people listen to) for decades. And without expecting a gold star for having done so.

No gold stars expected. It's just a bit of fun, with some cool sonics and a dab of self-exploration. If this site would just admit that it fucking despises young people, that'd be a relief

gotta keep reminding myself that this is the place which voted clean bandit into its top 77 tracks of the year

"Just a bit of fun"

That Clean Bandit record was bought by young people in their hundreds of thousands, possibly in their millions, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.

clean bandit into its top 77 tracks of the year

The music in that list was just as much an affront to personal well being as the two youtubes above

And since i started a new job I am now unfortunately well versed in grating horrific sounds due to the menace of spotify and an office speaker system

I am sort of interested in what gets played in your office actually.

Bought by young people != itself naive, exploratory or youthfully experimental, those fuckers had their eye on the dollar all along, I was educated with them and their sort

Not that PC Music aren't commercially interested, but there's more to them than that

Wait is it just a bit of fun or not? I can't keep up.

You are not so much shifting the goalposts as picking them up and walking them from one end of the pitch to the other.

You claim you love pop music but you sneer at music intended to make money. You claim PC Music is just pop fun one minute and then talk about it being "more than" that the next. You claim ILM hates young people and then sneer at music that young people actually like the next. I guess I'm having trouble discerning your ideological position here?

I think LJ's ideological position is best summed up by the following:

lol

I am sort of interested in what gets played in your office actually.

Its on the worst music of 2015 thread. I am very selective about music that gets played in the forest so the only preparation I had for this garbage was the EOY poll, which was horrible at the time but did prepare me a bit for what happens out there in the world

I had to google the lyrics for most of these, but these were the main offenders. Katy Perry, Skrillrex, Muse, Clean Bandit, Bastille, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Disclosure, Yellowcard, Tove Lo, Lady Gaga. Sometimes he hums along. He whistled once

i wrote them all down
