lol I don’t agree with Rousseau necessarily but I see where he’s coming from

It's a good starting point if you're looking to deconstruct the classical Western harmonic system. Whether it applies to harmony altogether is a different story.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 27 July 2021 19:28 (two years ago) link
perhaps rousseau's aversion to harmony would've influenced him to echo pom's famous "pet sounds is bad" controp

I feel like if I could have gotten Rousseau high and played him The Byrds "Natural Harmony" the course of music history would have changed

make sure you don't accidentally play him "mind gardens" instead

Rousseau was the OG Fourth World dude.
learning how to play music sucks. out of tune is the new "in tune"

Not everything's singing, you know.The only important thing these days is rhythm and melody.

nope rhythm is not important.
do y'all even *read* Geir's posts

Is Geir a Rush fan?
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 27 July 2021 20:09 (two years ago) link
Jejune lyrics, cloying melodies and insecure quasi castrato vox from Pleasantville
this is the standard line on the album at this point isn’t it, as in this is exactly what makes it so great
i can’t stand this dark side of suburbia type of shit. which it’s probably only an accidental example of anyway

I can't remember if Geir liked Rush, if I had to guess I think they might lack in traditional songcraft

seems like he would love the 80s synthy stuff
― brimstead, Tuesday, 27 July 2021 20:17 (two years ago) link
he doesn't hear rhythm though so Distant Early Warning sound like a blur of synths colliding with each other

Was Geir for real or was he an art project?

He posted last year, might even have been this year.

geir was odd though, it's not accurate to say he was merely a "rockist" even though he definitely thad that chauvinism towards traditional western capital-S "Songwriting" traditions, but he didn't have that sort of macho, luddite thing that's usually a part of rockism, the idea that manly men playing guitars and drums is the ideal of music
he even uses autotune which is generally one of the lame-o normie complaints about modern music on facebook

_I would even go further and defend dismissing certain cultures as "fucking garbage" without that being compared to doing the same for an ethnic group. Difference in my mind being that a culture is something a person chooses to be a part of._Not saying you're necessarily doing this, but this argument is used to support some really nasty stuff. (Unless you're talking about "toxic gaming culture" or something like that.)
― beard papa, Tuesday, 27 July 2021 22:00 (two years ago) link
I always thought of Geir as more of a poptimist tbh. Based on your description, ums, he in fact straddles the line and undermines that binary opposition in its entirety, forever redeeming ILM in the process.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 27 July 2021 22:08 (two years ago) link
Yes, I would never call Geir a rockist. He was more difficult to characterize than his reputation suggests, also he spent a lot of time trolling people in a completely cockeyed manner that might have made more sense if you were Norwegian (Land of the Trolls).

Still the most ''holy shit'' post i've seen on ilx so far
I've really wanted to get the hell into metal since at least my early 20's, but it never quite took :(
― Deflatormouse, Wednesday, 28 July 2021 03:18 (two years ago) link
I don't mind people not liking metal. I just mind people who (fortunately nobody here) say it's for transgressive little shits who are trying to piss their parents off.
no, it's for big fucking nerds who just like loud guitars as well as some alpha male fucks on steroids. the nerds try to kick the alphas in the nuts in the pit.
― making splashes at Dan Flashes (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 28 July 2021 03:26 (two years ago) link
I would probably love a lot of metal if i made just a little bit more of an effort. Not even a lot.
I've tried a bunch of times, but not very hard.
― Deflatormouse, Wednesday, 28 July 2021 03:32 (two years ago) link
The single most astonishing thing about that Geir Hongro post is just that he took the trouble to write it.
― Deflatormouse, Wednesday, 28 July 2021 03:36 (two years ago) link
Whenever I try listening to heavy music (of any kind), it ends up feeling… I dunno, silly, I guess. It’s my bad! Wish I could enjoy metal, it’s a cool thing to be into.

I love the idea of that post being rockist.
That being said, Robert Johnson wrote only one song in his entire life (the 12 bar one that goes C / / / F / C / G F C /), but at least he is not to blame for the fact that thousands of rock and soul acts have later plagiarized this one song.
