do musician's political views effect your enjoyment?
Sometimes.
I try to separate the art from the artist; but I'm only human
If they sing about them and they are cringy it's very cringy see Neil Young going anti-Monsanto like a retarded 15-year-old girl on Twitter

yes

Why is this allowed /mu/?
The real question here is why is it allowed to not like Black Sabbath

>50 seconds to mars
I'm a musician and this board disgusts me. It seems the only reason 99% of people here listen to the music they listen to is because they like the image and vintage photos associated with said bands that make you losers feel cooler by mentioning them and "associating" yourself with them. You should all be fucking ashamed.
And no im not trolling.
Oh yeah? Well I'm 28 years old, I'm probably older than the majority of people on /mu/. I've studied music theory in college for five years. I play more than five instruments including guitar and violin. I'm part if a rock duo and I perform monthly at various places. We've been working on an album since 2014. I think I know what I'm talking about.
What about you? How much music theory do you know? What instruments do you play? I'm guessing none.
>>61763146
I play guitar, bass, drums, I do vocals, I record and produce lots of tracks, I play gigs basically every week around Toronto, I go to music college. And yes i know music theory you dumbass and I'm 20 years old.
Well, get off /mu/ then.
itt: describe your music taste as if you were explaining it to someone from the 18th century
/mu/core
i like folk music
How the fuck do I explain like 20 genres all at once? Let alone their sub genres...
Does anyone use these? Does anyone think they help a song in any way? I've always hated them more than any other guitar.
To me they sound twangy and echoey and hollow. What's the point of that?
slint used teles
>>61763036
Who? Exactly.
I play one. I like the twangy sound.
>What's the point of that?
Some people like it. they're pretty versatile though. You can get a wide range of sound.

I wrote my own book! I know this is /mu/ however and literature and other intelligent forms of creativity aren't critiqued here in this awesome hive mind. A hive mind that is as if the creator of the universe turned a blind to so that the greater good of his directionless puppets could speak with their weak voices to form one large voice. The voice of a God.
I was told in jr high that I had a writing style that emulated the greats such as Albert Camus, Dante Alighieri, and as my elementary school art teacher Brookanne Mcallister told me, Marquis De Sade.
However, this post isn't about my book, it's about my first piece of music that I have ever written. I know, I know, you sit thinking deeply to yourself, "why put such a masterful work of music against the backdrop of an advertisement for your soon to be successful book?"
Well you see, you beautiful pile of atoms stacked up nearly six feet, perhaps taller than six feet. Molecule by molecule formed in a star you think to yourself, but you do not understand, I wrote this piece for my book trailer. I know my writing style is incredible thought provoking and I don't know how to turn it off my fellow human beings in crime, my fellow bits of star dust stacked perfectly in which we can communicate through the luck of a statistically anomaly. So look past that and please just critique me on my musical piece.
please give me your honest opinion. An opinion that is to critisize my work but to not put down my spirits. To critizie is to chisle away at problems and to leave behind a meticulously crafted statue formed by the millions of artisanal hands of you. My fellow shadowy and secretive buddies. I want to pursue a career in musical piece, so I present to you,

Holy shit OP, I'm swaying back and forth like tulips in the peaceful yet chaotic wind. This song makes me feel as though a storm of great proportions is coming. I can feel the epicness of it, the beauty of it. With this sense of pleasure that I am experiencing, I know that I must test fate and ask you of your book. If your style of literature is as genius of ability to write music on almost a Beethoven level. Please OP tell me more about this book ERAFEEN ™© WRITTEN BY DAVID FARRIS 2015

some new stuff up, please give it a listen.
Listened to this today. Found it bland, and desu Dylans voice isn't the most enjoyable. What am I missing? Did it change music so fundamentally I don't even realize it? Why is this album so good?
>>61762635
>he fell for the bob dylan meme
masterpiece
admittedly i didn't care for it too much when i first heard it, Dylans voice and the way he sang was too crude for me but eventually it grew on me.
every song from start to finish has its own unique property and is consistently catchy.
favourites would include Rainy Day Women, Visions of Johanna and Sad-Eyed Lady.

>Found it bland,
that's folk music
>and desu Dylans voice isn't the most enjoyable.

Eeehh, I think a few days ago we had a discussion about Elton on here and Yellow Brick Road was brought up a lot.

No.
How did it come to be that albums like this are being listened to primarily by white, liberal arts college hipsters?
>>61762307
they got sick of being ignored for listening to art music and indie
but trap is dying anyway 2015 was its peak liberal art kids are moving towards pc music crap and edm now.
just watch after coachella
because they're the ones who write stupid articles about how young thug is "post-lyrical"
>>61762307
Near the pinnacle of modern music, Thug's repertoire is so unfairly glazed over in the overly white sophisticate as to make me sick, but to make such beautiful, inspiring works into mere trap anthems (though that they are, in part) would be to reduce one of the most amazing careers in music ever to nothing more than that of a typical "Lean sippin' nigga", and that treatment may be a fate even worse than public ignorance.
The works on display on Barter 6 are titanic. "Constantly Hating" opens the set, and immediately, it is revealed that there is such a thing as a populist minimalist. But that is the name of the game for Thug - a shatterer of preconceived notions, and one of the very few in the avant-garde to make John fucking Cage seem conservative by comparison. I could go on for days about how "With That" though the worst of the set, far outstrips the careers of most modern composers entirely; how "Check" is a more "classical" approach for Thug, and it succeeds endlessly; how his highly political "OD" could easily be called the greatest triptych ever conceived in music; and how the "Just Might Be" separates the most impactful bars of music I've yet heard.
But I won't.
