rolling enlightening music discussion thread

im curious where the groundswell critically came for 'black saint' -- was there a particular critic who championed it? I know it was on some pfork list awhile back

tbh it was bcuz i thought a different poster had said it at first lol

myself and NI have been hypreventilating slightly this weekend as we've watched it climb from the 20s to the teens into the Top 5 on Hype's chart. currently standing at number 4 with only Benny Benassi's Florence remix, the new Rihanna and some joker called 'Dirtyphonics' stood in the way.

He's talking about his own remix, so I think he's entitled to be excited.

thank you for enlightening me

nagl

I'm v. happy for dude's success and think any coverage is cool, but I think buzza's point is "freaking out because your remix is more popular than BRAIDS COVERING BATHS on a useless metric like Hype Machine is nagl."

buzza can correct me if im wrong

I think begrudging a dude for being excited about some attention given to his creative efforts, no matter how superficial or meaningless you think that attention (or effort) is, makes you look like a shithead.

whew, thought we might get through a day w/o someone on the internet calling whiney g weingarten a shithead

i was just clarifying buzza's point

tbf he jumped in front of the bullet intended for buzza xp

eh, i'm not begrudging dude anything, i thought the "hyperventilating" comment was in keeping with the weird vibe on that thread, i had no idea he was talking about something he did (ie "thank you for enlightening me" was not a sarcastic comment)

<3 whiney tho

we can all go home early

wait i actually don't get it--what is revolutionary about a loop

It is a loop, but not released as "just one loop" that you yourself have to loop over and over. Rather (and I mean the 10 hours version on youtube proving how it is a work of genius and art), it will continue looping, you don't have to do anything, you turn it off when you please. It is presented that way. Which is very different from, as a listener, pressing a button for it to mechanically loop. This is an organic loop and it will go on forever, or for 2 minutes, for as long as you want it to be played.

i'm not innocent! we must all strive to better ourselves

Yeah, Girls was my #279. Which believe it or not means I liked it plenty. But god damn if there wasn't a ton of good music last year.

okay, then we see it differently. i see let england shake as an attempt to wrestle with the englishness and the 20th century's legacy of imperialism, injustice and violence. it allows itself to come apart at the seams, forces itself to come apart, because PJH knows that she cannot possibly say what she is trying to say, understand what she is trying to encompass. i called it "sharp, bright and ringing" earlier, but it often shares with kaputt a muffled sort of distancing, a gauzy haze that separates sounds and emotions from their origins. it sounds like an alarm, but an alarm that has been ringing forever, has grown so used to ringing that it transmits only faint panic at the edge of exhaustion. the voice of protest when there is too much pain to articulate and no hope of rescue.

that whole thread really is chockfull of enlightening music discussion

everyone should just chill and listen to 'kaputt'

No thread on the Girl Talk album, surely some mistake

the thread title i love to hate!

BUT HOW CAN THAT BE? LOOK WHAT LOVE GAVE UUUUUUUUUUS

ugh are you assholes gonna me me watch a "grimes" video

would've been more enlightening if it was in all caps

me me watch

The ILM 1980s Anti-Rolling Stone Canon (FREE PUSSY RIOT) Rock Poll Results - ALBUMS! Top 20! ends today

thread title has gradually made me support the continued imprisonment of pussy riot

i've been writing to the Russian embassy calling for their sentence to be extended

250 years

How about this one for ya? Shoes used Marshall half stacks and had crunch and power and Television used Fender Super Reverbs. Case closed.
