That's pizza, Jon
Currently slapping $uicide Boy$ in my ears to make my style utterly disrespectful.
I bet that's what Anthony listens to when he plays smash. He's posting supersmash bros videos from his nintendo 3ds to his channel now. So pretty much, if you're not styling on niggaz at smash bros, your opinions about music are moot.

>>64787111
I already pre-ordered a vinyl and cassette.
I'm a shameless fan.
I just wish he was touring on the east coast again.
Preordered as fuck. I feel bad saying it, but I've never bought a Tobacco or BMSR album in my life despite being a big fan.
What's the best Radiohead album in your opinion? I think it's Amnesiac, personally.
In Rainbows
Kid A or Amnesiac, they're pretty much equal to me.

Shit, he really did get old, huh. Sucks.
Just look into those brown eyes...
What do you see?
I never listened to a Beatles song until I was twenty-three. I heard a few snippets whenAcross the Universe (2007) was advertised. And, I enjoyedthe covers on American Idol. But, I never heard them sing their own songs until I was cornered by white coworkersshocked and amazed at my inability to name a singular member of the group or song.
Their puzzlement went from inquiry to harassment to public shamingas they paraded me around the office showing me off to other white people who were similarly shocked at my apparent “poor upbringing.” They had no idea that their projections of what constituted “good music” denoted their own simmering privilege. Meanwhile, they were discrediting everything I actually had grown up listening to.
It all started when a young white lady in the office was commenting on her favorite Beatles song. When asked, I responded, “Which group is that?” Then, ‘el shit’ hit ‘el fan.’ I got the Beatles mixed up with the Eagles mixed up with the Rolling Stones. They asked me to name them and I said “Well, I know it’s not Elton John. Bob Dylan? Maybe Billy Joel?” Shit everywhere. It was completely foreign to them that I could have possibly missed something so integral to their lives. So, they attempted to shameme.
The responses I got from everyone were in virtual lockstep.
>“What in the world did you listen to at home?”
>“What? Did you live under a rock?”
>“Do you just never turn on the radio?”
>“Where are you from?”
To which I responded, “Well, I’m black.” And, I simply explained that there are other radio stations that play other music. Unsatisfied with this answer, they pelted me with further inquiries.
>“Do you just never watch TV? cause the Beatles are EVERYWHERE!”
It was cute for about two seconds then it just got stale. What was funniest about it was that they were almost offended when I mentioned non-Beatles members. Like I had somehow broken white people music code by mentioning Billy Joel or Elton John in the same conversation. The Beatles were so sacred to them that they guffawed about it and it became an office joke until I eventually left the team.
Isn’t it funny though how I was assumed to be some foreigner transplant because I didn’t conform to white musical interests? They questioned my mom’s parenting skills before they ventured to think that maybe black folks just aren’t interested in listening to boring music sung by vocally-challenged British men.
My mother raised me on Anita Baker, Luther Vandross, The Four Tops, The Commodores, Patti Labelle, and a healthy dose of gospel artists. I have heard and appreciated a host of other greats. Presently, I love the soul sounds of India.Arie, Jill Scott, and John Legend. Not to mention I come from a family of talented singers, rappers, and song writers. I was never lacking for musicality in my home or life. But, my music and upbringing didn’t “count” to these folks because it didn’t measure up to their standards. This is the definition of white superiority.
For many white people to assume that their music is “good music” and any other music pales in comparison is a) wrong and b) bigoted. I once had a girl tell me, “I hate ‘black music.’ It all sounds the same and they only sing about sex.” This is not an anomaly. For many whites, “black music” is inherently substandard. All the artists are interchangeable.
These premises are why every single time a black male releases a new single, onlooking whites exclaim frivolities like “Is that Sisqo?” (yes, I have witnessed this on several occasions with my own ears and eyes and yes, I am aware that Sisqo is only really known to white people because of Thong Song...released fifteen years ago).
It must suck.
No, white people, every black male singer is not “Ursher” or Lil’ Jon or Nelly or Sisqo. But, if you can’t figure that out, why is it so confounding when black people can’t parse out white singers who are essentially the same vocally, visually, and chronically? I mean, at least Sisqo had blonde hair. Lil’ Jon has dreads and a bejeweled chalice. Please tell me a vocal difference between Sting and U2? And, couldn’t Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow be brothers? There really isn’t a ton of diversity here.
I would love to say these experiences were flukes. But, no. I had a young white woman at my second job do the same with Taylor Swift. When I said Swift wasn’t a great singer, she went slightly nuts. She exclaimed how talented she is and how I must have just been listening to the wrong songs. She tried to make me listen to her favorites. I noted that I know plenty of people who could sing circles around her to which she replied, “but can they play the guitar and write music?” Such a simple-minded girl. This implies that Taylor Swift only sounds good on some of her songs and that she shouldn’t be regarded as a vocal artist but as a musician and song writer. Yet, she records albums. See the cognitive dissonance there?
This idea that white people’s mediocrity is better than black people’s virtuosity is exactly why white people keep winning singing reality TV shows. It’s also another reason why phenomenal black singers, musicians, and songwriters struggle to make headway in an industry infatuated with faux artists like Iggy Azalea.
No, this isn’t an argumentative post explaining how much better “our” music is than “your” music. It’s just an opportunity for white music nazis and white culture zealots to peer through the looking-glass in a sense.

You do NOT get to interrupt me. Privileged white males have dominated the conversation for far too long. This is MY thread.

I listen to operatic 80's metal like King Diamond. I try to imagine the grass as a great enemy to be vanquished.

Bruh what the fuck happened to Steve Albini? Dude looks like that Ok Cupid pic with the guy with the Enjoy Cock shirt, who says his penis is big and like mushroom - you know which pic.
Steve went full JUST
It's Björk!
LOL that's a weird haircut for Björk!
>>64786345
That's Michael Jackson!
It's Björk!
It's rare to find an album that is stimulating artistically, but is also exceptionally fun to listen to.
Besides pic related, I would say Pet Sounds and some Anco also fits the bill.
What else is there?
I'd say Hunky Dory and Diamond Dogs.
