steve hoffman forums, C or D?

it's a common-held notion that electronic music isn't made with 'real' instruments, o'er at the SHF (MOJO magazine of music bbssus)

*bbs's

Ahh man, c'mon. You can't just say that and not post a link!

It was on the first page of the forum last time I checked!

Yeesh, I got to page two. Does it go on like that for the entire thing?

I am so tempted to register a troll account now.

Gee, wonder why they broke up?

I mean, fucking hell, people in "some are music trivia obsessives and some aren't" shocker - if he's seriously never come across a woman who is a music obsessive or at the very least "into music" then he needs to get out more.

This idea that women aren't interested in the technology behind the reproduction of music is utter horseshit, and I'm sure the likes of Anjali Dutt (My Bloody Valentine/Oasis), Susan Rogers (Prince), Lenise Bent & Linda Tyler (Steely Dan), not to mention the numerous female electronic producers around at the moment would all probably have something to say about that.

Then again, this kind of old fashioned old fart nonsense is pretty much exactly what I'd expect to read over at the retirement home.

Stereo Central has seemingly died

Yeah, I noticed that. What a bummer, that place was a frickin' riot!

Re: sexism and music obsessiveness: My wife isn't into music that way I am, but I've got a friend who's my gig-wife. She's got similar tastes and insists we stand in the front. Anyone else have a friend who subs for their spouse when going out to see bands?

HER: I really love this song..it's so moving!

ME: Yea this was from their early days before they started using synths. Notice how the guitar and drums stay in sync...

That guy might be a bit on the autism spectrum, don't you think?

One of them actually enjoys music.

I'll go that far, no further.

There are different ways to enjoy music. Getting into recording minutae is as valid as any other aspect but reeling off those details at someone and wondering why *they* aren't getting it...

I wonder if he'd even talk to his male music buddies like that though.

Tbqh, I don't buy that specific scenario. Is fiction.

Which makes it more revealing really.

I like Turrican's response taking the exact form of the linked forum poster's "rebuttal to ex-girlfriend" statement

XD

It's hard to say... I'm guessing that he probably doesn't, but given which site the post was made on...

Then again, I don't really expect anyone to talk about music offline the same way as they do online. I mean, there's a reason why places such as this exist. In my case, I hardly ever talk about music offline, if at all - there's a zillion other things I'd much rather talk about that are far more important, and this forum is enough to scratch my musical discussion itch.

I often think the same when I read your posts, fwiw, except the exact form they take is that of an utter cock.

I do recommend this one, a KLF rundown.

Yes! The KLF and Fall rundown threads are very good.

there are people on those boards with good taste, they're just hidden by the rest

I used to frequent the ILX site "I Love Music", what horrible a-holes they are over there...this is the best music forum hands down

there's a 200-post thread on Motorpsycho, them boards ain't all bad

it's a good source for vinyl pressing info and for which reissue labels to avoid.

Does anyone ever take the bait and click on this thing called web.musicaficionado.com? Seems like it is going to be totally generic feed but sometimes it turns out to be apparently competent classic rock career overview along with some okay playlists with interesting tracks. /dontknowwheretopostthisso

Ok, I'm sold.

B-b-but how do I keep up with such things since I let my Mojo subscription lapse?

can't help wondering what an ILM equivalent of Stereo Central would be like

At record club we pretty much talk like a chunk of ILM text used as a script. Dick jokes included.

I'm suspecting that even "the singer has a sexy voice" was a bit of a jab. Guy is obv wrong to generalize about women, partly for the reason that Turrican gives, but he mostly just seems like someone who genuinely has a hard time relating/connecting, based on that post.

yeah, Sundr4/Turrican OTM here

I'm 52. I'm a music dork, like 85% of us here on this forum. Music history is important to me, and I enjoy discussing it with people.

I was shopping at Trader Joe's today. While standing around at the sample table, "Do You Want To Dance" by Bobby Freeman came on the store music player. An older woman -I'd say in her 70s- was chatting to the server and said "Do you know who this is?". Me being All-Knowing, said "Yup! Bobby Freeman!". She said no, that it was Ritchie Valens. I gently said, well he may have recorded it, but Bobby Freeman did the hit version we are hearing. She told me no- it's Ritchie Valens. It's on his album. It was a hit. I said, that might be, but we are hearing Bobby Freeman.

Then another patron got out his phone and pointed out it was actually Bobby Freeman. She refused to budge. "I was alive at the time. I was there. I remember his plane crash at the high school". I pointed out that yes it's a shame we lost 2 bright stars- Valens and Buddy Holly. She said no- he died in a crash by a high school. "I was alive at the time".
I sighed and said I definitely was not there, and I didn't know about the other plane crash. Knowingly smiled at the guy with the cell phone and went on my way.

It's good for people on the spectrum to have a safe place for discussions away from you jackals.

Seriously though, they have a good reggae thread with input from people around the world who run some reissue labels.

I thought THIS was the safe place!

I still don't understand why audiophilia isn't listed in the DSM-V

New Paul McCartney album "Egypt Station" coming September 7, 2018

i was actually curious which remaster of soft machine third sounded best and it got to like page three or four of the steve hoffman thread before everyone in it realized the album was poorly recorded and so there's no clear or ideal master of it

it was sorta like the whole board was summarized v neatly for me there, people arrogantly throwing around a lot of knowledge presumably gleaned from very intense, detail-oriented listening, which turns out to be largely meaningless and inapplicable

yeah but they are helpful about a lot of others, it can be handy!

...it's definitely not the place to find a quick recommendation for replacement lp jackets/sleeves etc. now THAT is a totally obnoxious and unhelpful stevehoffman rabbit hole

oh i don't mean to suggest they aren't occasionally helpful, especially with finding good unremixed copies of catalogues that have been remastered and remixed (cf. genesis)

I'm still looking forward to Egypt Station!

Me too - particularly since, at this point, each McCartney album increasingly looks as if it may be his last. I didn't rate New as highly as Chaos and Creation... or Memory Almost Full, but there was enough on there for me to enjoy.
