rating music decreases your natural ability to appreciate and enjoy it
https://rateyourmusic.com/~santosmalandros
>>65386394
I thought like you but rating music is fine IF YOU'RE FITTING THE RATING DESCRIPTION AND NOT THE NUMBER
like if you're saying "This is a Good Album" instead of "This is a 3.5/5" then rating is fine

What is this guy's problem?
>>65386531
too many drugs + holdover from the teamspeak era. oh how time flies.
>>65386531
proof that having 10,000+ ratings can't save you from having bland as fuck taste also his reviews are all hilariously bad, i can't tell if he's being serious or not
>>65386475
yeah thats true to a degree but even then i really dont believe in trying to fit music in categories. music is very fluid, to such an extent that trying to really put it in any category is restrictive. and ones perceptions or feelings about an album can vary heavily over time depending on a myriad of other bullshit.
so best case scenario is you realize your ratings will never be accurate and that rym has no use but to affect some image on to random strangers (so why even keep using it?) or in the worst case your get trolled into thinking of albums in terms of numbers and become an unbearable formulaic music nerd
>>65386531
>Finally getting into anime avatars
I chuckled
>>65386662
No you're just being an idiot now
You're telling me you never listened to an album and said "This is good!" or "This is great!" or "This is AOTY!"
>>65386782
no i have, but ive also realized that i dont hold those same views after like two weeks so whats the point in even rating anything, other than to affect some image on to random strangers.
i mean its not bad to have favorite albums or anything but it seems weird to me to really try and quantify 'favoriteness' of stuff in the fashion rym encourages
>>65386531
>>65386593
What was his previous account?
>>65386845
>but ive also realized that i dont hold those same views after like two weeks
Then you're a newfag who hasn't listened to much music.
Not our fault.

I haven't figured it out yet, it's harder now with the OT gone and all. most likely he deleted his previous account too. noiseofheaven? alyosha_says_go? who knows.
ohhhhh right it was boldfaure who was talking bollocks about Tim Hecker yesterday
makes sense
>>65386845
this is why i don't use all the rating slots

>>65386879
haha
lmao
lol...
>>65387147
same approach i had for a while but eventually i genuinely asked myself "why do i even use rym" and i couldnt come up with an answer that wasnt incredibly vain
>>65387374
i use rym because i have a shit memory and listen to too many albums in too short of a time span, so it tells me what i liked for specific things (subgenre i don't think about that much, best of a specific year, etc) or even names of artists who made singles i liked or names of foreign artists with difficult names, because i forget that shit too. my digital library is too unorganized and shitty and patchy to be useful. ever since getting a lightweight college laptop i've been streaming a lot, or deleting files after listening.
if RYM was a downloadable program that i could use completely privately, i would definitely use that instead of hosting my shit online.
>>65387493
This guy hits the nail on the head pretty well for me personally
plus I have a big group of IRL friends that actively listen to music, so it's cool keeping up with them and seeing what they've been getting into lately
>>65387552
>>65387493
yeah these are fair enough answers. i still catalog everything i listen to without rating because they ruined last.fm and even vaguerating became too much for me. i guess its mostly just the real annoying image obsessed nerds and skewed view of music that rym seems to give birth to and enable that bothers me

I couldn't find an official press release from the label for the roly porter album, but the other one's blurb on the label site has no mention of it being musically 'new' - just a really amateurish 'exploration' of philosophical and scientific concepts that have no bearing on this type of music.
>>65388594
the best use i've gotten out of my avant cred is writing all of my english essays about rational ecstasy and how 4'33 and that mekas movie make you realize the beauty of life etc.. and getting near-dicksucking level praise from my qt teacher

I think if you wishlist something, it is marked as unrated.
>>65386028
He means on a profile some people have unrated albums in their ratings and some don't. The reason why is because they have albums wishlisted, so they are marked unrated, because they plan on listening to them but haven't done so yet. So they stay unrated until they do so. Just go on any album and then catalog and then wishlist.

>>65390739
Do you know what Klangfarbenmelodie means without having to search it?
>>65390763
of course
Klangfarbenmelodie (German for sound-color melody) is a musical technique that involves splitting a musical line or melody between several instruments, rather than assigning it to just one instrument (or set of instruments), thereby adding color (timbre) and texture to the melodic line. The technique is sometimes compared to "pointillism",[1] a neo-impressionist painting technique.
>>65390763
>>65390795 wasn't me. I have studied composition for the last 15 years of my life, so yes, I do. nice shit test, though. you don't need to know what pointilism is to appreciate the greatness of ambient/drone. as I said before, listen to more albums of these genres or stick to classical
>>65390795
Proving my point.
>>65390862
>I have studied composition for the last 15 years of my life
And I'm in the Vienna Philharmonic. Thielemann told me to tell you to "suck his dick" if you can believe it. Of course I am the Concertmaster so he would relay these messages to me.
Oh and I'm banging ur mum.

yesterday you said you've listened to all tim hecker albums. give me a harmonic analysis of any of his non-improvisational works post-radio amor. what's the german word for the organic/digital confluence of arrangement found on ravedeath? which unusual composition technique pioneered in the beginning of the 20th century is found throughout almost all tracks in virgins? do you know what convolution means?

You know if you want to quiz me on unimportant, irrelevant composers like Antoine Beuger and Tim Hecker and how all these irrelevant people make this music, I will confess that I haven't cared to find out. Because that information is accessible to people who take music as currency, and value only what gives credibility.
So yeah maybe some people on RYM ignore me because I don't review Onkyo or Ambient or Drone music, but you know what? The stuff I know, the music I review, the music I perform/study; that music gets applause. It gets remembered.
Not my fault you wasted 15 years on irrelevant studies.

La Monte Young and the league of composers who composed texture/timbre based compositions in the 60's are good, because they were originals working with new ideas.

p sure that's the wrong way to structure your sentence, making the japanese language the subject when really you're the subject and the language you're new to is the object.
i would write:
私は日本語でとても悪いですが、勉強したい!
一緒に日本語を勉強しませんか?
although deagger or heavycoffee can correct me if this is not right.

btw しませんか is the proper way to make an invitational request and means "won't you __?" in a polite way. asking the negative is more indirect etc etc. idk if it's just polite or proper or the only correct way but that's how i learned it

Thanks for actually giving me helpful advice!
I'll try and not be awful at this one day.
>>65395223
also if you *really* wanted to include あなた there the particle would be と、not は
i removed it because it's considered to be too direct for most situations in japanese, and "you" is usually implied. you should get used to using it sparingly
>>65395206
i am an avant-teen, but what is there to "gossip" about
