is this chart any good? i'm new to krautrock and im not exactly sure where to start. I've listened to Neu! and thought it was pretty good.
Are there any decent flowcharts out there?
>>60337177
I made that chart, and it's not nearly as good as it would be had I made it now.
dropped
>>60337217
Yeah this.
Also, I put Faust IV for some reason.
I'll start.
I interviewed Sean and Ben when I was 13 and we had an incredible two days of hanging out with each other.
On the day of both the show they played in Santa Cruz and when I interviewed them, my dad and I drove them to a local skate park not too far away from the venue because they're crazy about skateboarding. I didn't have a board with me (due to the fact that I don't skate) but I had a blast watching them.
We drove them back to the venue and they put on a fantastic show. In between one of the songs, Sean gave both me and my dad a shout-out that was amazing. He told the crowd about the interview and going to the skate park. What followed the next day was just as incredible.
The next day, we decided to meet up again in the morning and hang out at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk to have some fun. I met up with them inside one of the arcades at the Boardwalk because they were filming some stuff to use in a music video. I walked around with them looking at the different games and me and Sean had a fierce match of air hockey. He won.
Unfortunately, they never did anything with the footage and never used it in any of their music videos as far as I'm aware. They most likely still have footage of me with them around somewhere, though.
Shortly after the Boardwalk, we went to a local record store that AJJ have been to on previous tours and one that I frequently visit whenever I'm in Santa Cruz. We went inside and spent some time crate digging together. They got a whole bunch of records (I forget a lot of what they bought) to bring with them on the rest of the tour. We said goodbye right then and there!
Not me but my dad
My fucking DAD did h with Tim Buckley and had a singing contest with him.
I saw Grimes at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything.
She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in her hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Ma'am, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
A friend of mine lives in Aus and insists that Kevin Parker was a cunt to him after a show.

Why is this man so idolized? There's about three songs with decent guitar on Mother's Milk (which 99% of his devotees have never heard of) and about 5 bars of decent guitar on BSSM. The rest of his catalogue contains either no or atrocious guitar playing.
Why do so many 12 year olds love him so much?
Cool guy as a person though.

It's mid-November and around 8 months since The Ark Work was released. This time is roughly when you see which albums endure and which are passe "buzz" fodder. There are a few of these for this year that come to mind: Ten Love Songs, Summertime '06, Compton, and so on. Albums that when they came out, in one way or another, were heavily discussed; but as time went on, were gradually abandoned in favor of something more "hip" or "new." Albums like these lacked a core component of musical interest: they had appeal in the moment, but nothing timeless.
And then, we have The Ark Work. Ever since its release, there has been passionate discussion about its merits on both sides. The jury is still out: unless you get your opinion from publications, there is no consensus. In my mind, this is proof that the album is every bit as provocative, challenging, and thoughtful as I originally put forward in my review. But perhaps we should first consider what, if anything, makes one piece of art succeed above another? What creates "classic-status?" I'd like to look at an example or two from art music before revisiting The Ark Work and seeing how it stacks up.
1/6
For my classical examples, I have decided to limit myself to the Common Practice era (roughly Bach -> modern day). Though Medieval and Renaissance music are core to the aesthetics in The Ark Work, the music of this time simply isn't very comparable in structure or the society surrounding it. Instead, let's look at sometimes maligned or shirked figures in classical music: Franz Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Both, among academics, are considered to be among the greatest composers of all time. Among much of the public, however, they are known more for making "easy-listening" parlor tunes or music for babies than for creating high art. It's inarguable that the raw emotional content in Beethovian symphonies or Schubertian lied is much more accentuated than the comparably subtle piano concertos of Mozart or string quartets of Haydn, but people often forget that the former two wrote their best music 15-30 years after the latter. Beethoven is as much a contemporary of Haydn/Mozart as Radiohead a contemporary of Zappa.
Comparing these two groups is not fair, then. Instead, we should compare Haydn and Mozart to their actual contemporaries: names like Vanhal, Stamitz, Hoffmeister and so on. You've probably never heard these names in your life; or, if you have, it wasn't a particularly impressive work that you heard. That's because these composers were very focused on formula while Haydn and Mozart were focused on moving forward. Haydn in particular is almost entirely credited with nurturing the symphonic form into what it's been known for up to this day, whereas Mozart was known for (comparably) rather avantgarde tendencies in shifting around form and harmony. Once again: there is no comparison between what is accomplished in Mozart's Clarinet Concerto and the myriad of Clarinet Concerti by Stamitz.
2/6
>1/6
What we see then is that, even in the most tuneworthy of composers, there must be innovation; ever since Beethoven, innovation has been an absolute component of "classic composer status". Wagner, Debussy, Stravinsky, Bartok, and Schoenberg were all innovators the same as Haydn and Mozart. There is not a single Common Practice composer who is fondly and widely remembered solely for their enjoyable melodies, and not for their innovations. With this importance of innovation over conventionality, let us return to Liturgy.
Their first record, Renihilation, was arguably a very conventional record. Certainly in comparison to their following two records, there wasn't any real level of sonic imagination. If we can see the band as evolving through their discography from Black Metal to the more nebulous Experimental Rock, it was more a starting point concerned with establishing an audience rather than a fully realized statement. Aesthethica, following a year later, presented much of the group's core ethos. We effectively see the blueprints that would be used on The Ark Work through the use of minimalist repetition (far more limited than on TAW), medieval chant (in the controversial track "Glass Earth"), and of course some inkling of the Romantic in the harmonies of pieces like "True Will." A heretical person like myself would compare this album to Mozart's 9th Piano Concerto, in that it showed that the group of virtuosos had more going than their technical prowess.

If I wanted to get and use something like BIAS, that new programme doing the rounds, how would I go about plugging my guitar into my PC and getting it to work with BIAS?
>>60336543
An interface. Like the Scarlett 2i2.
>>60336543
>>60336868
yeah, an interface. if it's just for the guitar get the scarlett solo, which is affordable
as a plus you get a better soundcard than your motherboard's
