Oh man, that's awful
Huge loss for music
If this doesn't get a sticky I will know that /mu/ is irredeemable.
>>63931013
sorry there are only so many "avant-garde" nobodies i can pretend to give a shit about
>>63931094
Reminder: fucking Ornette Coleman didn't get a sticky last year

Damn sad to hear this
Didn't he and the two guys from Faust perform their thing one more time sometime last year?
>>63931178
So good.
>>63929889
Wow...I just got into this guy a few days ago.
RIP
>>63931243

It's sad how little we seem to care about this.
For shame, /mu/. For shame.
>>63931178
wtf is that shit
his music sounds horrible
>listening to poseurcore
>>63932412
Read up on his composition techniques
RIP
r/ing sticky
>>63929889
Outside the Dream Syndicate exposed me to a new world of music, he will be missed
>>63932455
who cares it sounds awful
>>63932452
swell opinion
>>63932471
Dude if you're not willing to read about what exactly he's doing then don't bitch in the first place.
>>63932455
>muh theory
>muh composition
haha fucking virgin
>>63932523
why does it matter when his music sounds atrocious?
>>63932409
Tony Conrad pretty much represents the deep end where most of /mu/ just won't go - I'm not particularly surprised even though loosely Conrad-affiliated things like Faust or Velvet Underground are popular here
>>63932559
I know. It still makes me sad. I guess I hope for more out of us. I discovered Tony Conrad here, after all.
>>63932556
because you'll gain contexts and understanding that are objective. whether you'll come to enjoy it or not is another story and not what i'm talking about.
why do i need to explain this to you?
>>63932559
>>63932611
>yeah I'm really into music, Tony Conrad, Coil, This Heat, the list could go on...
>>63932616
Don't bother. He'll never get it. Just pity his ignorance and move on.
>>63932631
would you say you're above two people you quoted ?
>>63932646
see but you're stupid too because you don't understand that saying "you [he] just don't get it" reinforces his thoughts. i've seen it time and time again on this board, and you aren't helping.
>>63932631
2/10 only replied because my grief has temporarily weakened me
>>63932680
*above those two people
oops
>>63932680
Not trying to help.
>>63929889
That's unexpected. Saw him live a few years back opening for GYBE. RIP
>>63932704
then stfu ?
His collab with Faust was in my backlog, that's too bad I guess.
>>63932744
But that's less fun.
>>63931344
Chris Squire didn't get one either
is this the poseur general?
>>63933552
is the joke supposed to be that most of the albums here are very good?
>>63931132
neither did Merle Haggard just a few days ago. Hell, he had like 25 posters in his thread at most.
>>63931132

I think so, yes.

>>63933626
>>63933799
I bet you couldn't explain why they are "very good"
>>63933886
i can't explain why i like much of anything because of my shit grasp of my vocabulary. what's your point exactly?
>>63933886
They are very "experimental" and "innovative"
>>63933918
>>63933935
friendly reminder to learn music theory if you don't want to look like a fool like it's happening right now, lol
>>63933886
You're saying that as if you could actually explain why they're bad without resorting to words like pretentious hurr BORING durr wacky herp
>>63933969
how is that relevant to my post >>63933918
>>63933886
>>63933552
Montie should literally be dead for reviving the mallgoth/avantteen-esque meme.
>>63933886
Because I like them. Fuck everyone else.
Fantastic Glissando
RIP.
>>63929889
Antwon Fantwon hasn't reviewed any of his albums, which should I start with?
