Extreme music violence against wellbeing

i feel that ilx at its best does a good job of making me (and others) tease out the ideology from the aesthetic
I found the source of the confusion: sarahell wrote "best" instead of "worst"

the rock band wire are pushing 70 and they are youthful
They're not pushing 70 tbf.

tbf "pushing 70" could have an eccentric definition none of us are privy to, in much the same way as "youthful"
― put a skronk ornette (wins), Friday, 12 June 2015 16:49 (eight years ago) link
iirc in ilx jargon 36 is "nearly 40" so I am assuming anything over 50 is "pushing 70"
looks like Bruce Gilbert really is 69 years old though
― Upright Mammal (mh), Friday, 12 June 2015 16:52 (eight years ago) link
Ok that fits my definition tbf

He's not in them anymore though. Maybe yer man hasn't realised it yet though.

Oh ok I don't really follow them tbh cause I fucking despise young people
― put a skronk ornette (wins), Friday, 12 June 2015 16:55 (eight years ago) link
Youthfulness is an attitude not an age. An attitude that risks looking silly once you get old and moldy? I dunno. PC Music doesn't strike me as youthful because they seem too plastic wrapped to ever be touched by time.

"god sent me here to rock you" is an incredible song and has one of the best videos of the past ten years
she's 100x better than anything pc music related in every respect and anyone speaking dismissively of her in a thread in the context of this awful thread has now earned my eternal, unrelenting disgust
― james brooks, Friday, 12 June 2015 18:59 (eight years ago) link
how do you feel about young people though

I hadn't heard of her until yesterday, but, racially insensitive tweets aside, I like Naomi Elizabeth, the racially insensitive tweets are not good, though
a new video has just been posted to Calzonius' instagram account:

I regret seeing "Topical Ass" before "God Sent Me Here To Rock You."

Skrillex is a fan apparently: "I wanted to sign PC Music. I had their demos a year ago, or even more than that. I love their stuff. It's so fun and cute and crazy and over-the-top."

sounds v similar to caladhort tho, no? if life sim is a one-trick producer tho, i'm a fan of that trick. think i might prefer the daniel swan video to the track
― willajd, Wednesday, 16 September 2015 11:22 (eight years ago) link
And this new mixtape is just so wonderful:http://xtreme.pcmusic.info/

Not really feeling the Life Sim track. I wish it built up or felt like it went somewhere.

They've signed some kind of deal with Columbia Records.

At least they've worked out that Danny L Harle is the best one

Not too sure about that...Hannah Diamond album rolling out shortly.

I've done a 180 on PC Music stuff - when I first heard it I dismissed it as neo-Vengaboys but now I kind of want them to be the sound of 2016. The co-write Charli XCX premiered the other day was magnificent.
― Leonard Pine, Saturday, 24 October 2015 19:47 (eight years ago) link
I think Charli XCX might be the best pop songwriter of our time - even if she isn't always convincing as a performer herself she knows how to construct a chorus and a hook regardless of genre/style
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 25 October 2015 00:40 (eight years ago) link
My problem with PC Music hasn't been the aesthetic or concept, it's been that the song-writing hasn't been up to the standard of the pop music it aspires to be/critique, so it's ineffective at what it purports to be, but maybe Charli XCX is the one to take it to the level it needs to be
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 25 October 2015 00:41 (eight years ago) link
I don't think I get what Naomi Elizabeth is
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 25 October 2015 02:51 (eight years ago) link
Really? I don't agree at all, their only act less worth bothering with is Lifesim, who has about 2% of DLH's production budget.

the broken flowers remix 'awake for hours' is kind of extraordinary, it climax is straight-up widescreen brilliance

So here I was, happily spinning out to this random vocal house track that I assumed was from some peppy South London 6th form type and it turned out to be... Broken Flowers by Danny L Harte. First thing I've heard from this label that hasn't felt like it's been wearing a constant smug smirk.
― Matt DC, Friday, 4 December 2015 22:20 (eight years ago) link
you might try the whole EP, it is a srs leap forward for the collective
― avant-garde, sissy bounce, zombie rave, aquacrunk, warlock, oceangrunge, (imago), Friday, 4 December 2015 22:42 (eight years ago) link
is it better than the GFOTY track? Shame she said racist shit, but her tracks were the best.
― sarahell, Saturday, 5 December 2015 03:08 (eight years ago) link
How different is the new version of "Broken Flowers"? I love Harle and I *want* to like PC Music but it feels weird for a "leap forward" to be in the form of one of their earliest tracks...

OK yes this is great
Did the original "Broken Flowers" have thumb piano all over it?
