Could you dudes recommend some electronic music for a guy who hates dance music? Pic kinda related, this is the sort of thing I'm after.
>>65458828
so breakcore?
just try some venetian snares mate, I guess some early 2000s squarepusher as well. they're the two biggest names in the genre.
also aphex twin - drukqs
>>65458881
I was kinda hoping that there might be something more recent or something I hadn't heard of. I've listened to Venetian Snares, Aphex Twin and Squarepusher, but otherwise I'm pretty out of the loop with regard to more recent and/or lesser known stuff.

why the fuck is Queen Latifah lower than either of those two Amys
Sometimes the emperor really has no clothes on. (Though NMH dressed as hobos in most of their publicity pics...) Aside from the fascinating epic "Oh Comely" (a blatant Will Oldham/ Tim Buckley xerox), this album is near-unlistenable tripe for Pitchfork-reading, courduroy-backpack-clad dipshits. In fact, I use at as one of my key "litmus test" albums for judging whether a person has good musical taste or is easily swayed by hype and the reputation of a band. In other words, I can confidently ignore music-related recommendations from all fans of this album, because they obviously own neither many albums nor functioning ears.
This LP is almost singlehandedly responsible for two of the most inhumane abuses in human history: inflicting Bright Eyes and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah upon an unsuspecting, undeserving world. Mangum is probably a very smart and gifted guy; why he chooses to write and sing as though he has autism is beyond me, but maybe he was aiming for the Jandek/ Daniel Johnston fanbase. "King of carrot flowers?" Grow up. "Aeroplane"? No. This is America. We spell it "Airplane." You are from America. Just because you sing in an ear-splittingly, cranium-implodingly obnoxious fake British accent, doesn't give you the green light to revert your written words to the pre-Boston Tea Party era. Plus, spelling it "Aeroplane" puts you in the same category as Billy Corgan, and nobody wants that.
Stick with Olivia Termite Control if you must, but I'd advise any sane person to avoid the entire Elephant Shtick catalog like SARS. If you want an album that sounds like it was recorded on lo-fi equipment in the 1960s, here's an inside tip: Go purchase, and listen to, an album recorded on lo-fi equipment in the 1960s.

Consider this review from 5 days ago by user cherry65: "This album gets a three for the third song, In the Aeroplane over the Sea. The rest of the album is bad, really bad." (She gave it 3 stars!) She liked one song out of eleven (3.3 minutes total), so why didn't he give the album half a star, or one star? Peer pressure & the lemming-like mentality of indie rockers, that's why. Look at yourselves in the mirror, people, then look at the name of track 5 on this disque.
I'm supposed to be proud of this band for becoming one of the few groups from my state (Louisiana) (before they calculatedly relocated to Georgia to further their career) to achieve unanimous hipster acclaim. But all I can do is cringe in embarrassment. At least when The Residents left here for greener pastures, they became a legitimately inventive/ influential band...
The funny thing is, I was crushed when I had to miss their gig here in New Orleans in spring '98 due to illness. (I had only heard a song or two from the album at that point.) In retrospect, it was a fortuitous occurrence for which I am eternally grateful. A few years later, I even downlaoded and pored over many live gigs by the band circa this era, in hopes of finding some spark I had missed before, but it was to no avail. Even now, I'm listening to the sample clips over and over again on iTunes, sitting here in shock at how appalling they (still) are. So don't say I didn't try, and don't say I didn't warn you.
>>65458656
In closing, let me recommend two contemporary albums that deserve a lot of the hype this one received, though the typical NMH fan may lack a sophisticated enough palate to digest them: The Going Away Present by Lowercase, and The Fraternity Of Moonwalkers by The Tower Recordings. And, of course, Mercury by American Music Club, but that one did receive the accolades it deserves.
how can someone trash this album and say Oh Comely is good

What does /mu/ think of this album?
My personal all-time favourite record. I haven't really ever heard of anyone listening to it properly and not liking it, it just excels in everything which makes music great.
Great album, immensly underrated, one of prog rocks finest records

At what age did you grow out of caring about your indie cred and start scrobbling all your guilty pleasures?
>>65458128
20 years, 23 now. Now I don't give a shit that people know I listen to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.
If this is something you have to grow into then baka senpai
When I was 10 very likely because I was never that mentally retarded like most of you inbreds.
Were you suppose to get the meaning out of Bjork songs? I understand hyperballad and vulnicura of course. But a lot of songs like Unravel and a lot of homogenic are over my head. Were you suppose to get these songs or just let them flow over you?
>>65458075
i think hyperballad and other songs on homogenic have the type of lyrics that aren't meant to be concrete and give you an emotion rather than a meaning
>>65458075
Unravel is easy lo get though it's like fucking abc. feelings of love deteriorate when you're not with your loved ones and you'll have to rebuild it every time.
Bjork is cute. CUTE!

Hey /mu/
I've recently taken a large interest in learning how to produce electronic music and am curious as what the best way to go about it is. I would be starting from scratch. I play guitar so I know a tiny bit about musicianship but not a substantial amount. I have never produced electronic music before. What's a good program to use and can anyone recommend any good tutorials? I am investigating short courses for music production atm.
>>65457957
ableton live and maxmsp just read the manual and watch youtube tutorials
>>65457987
What about FL Studio?
>>65457957
>I've recently taken a large interest in learning how to produce electronic music

"that was us, on the car...."

Why do so many hip hop records say something along the lines of
"Yo, this is real hip hop not that radio shit"
I have heard that so many times already.
Because the artist is making real hip-hop, not that radio shit.
I was thinking "do you remember when black people played guitars?
it's this indescribable thing that's not understandable
so probably bets left, but what is the history of music? I don't know man
...but I can't help but think it
I'm very closeted you know that?
Listened to Kind of Blue, what i've got to do now?
