buuuuurrrnnnnn theee wwwwiiiiiiiiittcchhhhhh (for da boyz)
para los chicoz
my completed feb/mar/apr calendar.
listening to Grouper to warm up to today's daily album
i didn't like a lot of the material, in fact none but the Carissa's Weird track stood out to me, but sshx's mix was more well put together and consistent (though i'm thinking all too consistent) than moonjacques's, which kinda seems just like a random assortment, again sans real standouts
that means imma make another comp with you in mind
tho i'd have had a more fun (and easier to assemble) idea in case patchy
YAMIR.
>>64553617
I'm curious
what made you give RPOV1.28 a ~?
>>64553677
shit taste presumably
>>64553677
Uh I found it too disjointed and offering too little interesting ideas basically. This didn't change after a relisten.
>>64553605
literally all i did was look for every song i had with that same track length ayy.
whatevs thouh, now you have a good challenge ahead of you! I'm excited to hear your sshx-inspired mix honestly.
>>64553757
well it is a disease that has affected all of us
>>64553761
>disjointed
I can see that
>offering too little interesting ideas
I'd say it's a pretty damn interesting album but alright
I personally just find it fun as fuck and really like how chaotic it all feels yet pretty organized at the same time
it's also really cool how much shit I missed the first few times I listened to the album that I started to notice the more listens I gave it
ah well
different strokes for different folks
I think I'll spend the rest of the day making music and watching X-Files. I feel inspired.
>>64553964
no keep lurking in the hype thread, that way you'll know when the pre-order goes up and you can get the limited edition colored vinyl :)()DD^):;:dx(
>>64554017
Don't particularly care for the vinyl, but I'll throw money their way anyway.
>>64552514
I didn't forget moonjaques :)
I just had an eight hour day at uni; two lectures, two practices (or whatever it is called), three different subjects.
My brain feels like scrambled eggs. Music for this feel?
Also, what have I missed?
>>64555233
new Radiohead
http://www.radiohead.com/deadairspace
No random album today?
>>64555233
Haven't missed much, mu is super sleepy today, no big news
>>64555233
Merzbow
>>64555254
I don't particularly care for Radiohead. I found OK Computer to be pretty boring, honestly. The only thing I've ever enjoyed from them is one track, "Talk Show Host".
I was thinking more /daily/-related.
>>64555325
Oh, okay.
>>64555328
What did he do now?
>>64555346
He didn't do anything, he's music for your feel
also Ok computer isn't that great
>>64555254
I like animated clay thingy
Apparently Weed Forestin' has been issued under both Sentridoh and Sebadoh? I don't think there's a difference regardless.
Should I see Swans/Okkyung this summer?
>>64555388
Oh, right. Hmm, noise might be good. Long time I last listening to Storage or Mechanization Takes Command.
>>64555300
i was busy, i'll set something up in some moments
Hellsing OST: Raid
caught me off guard, expected it to be some spooky scary scooby doo music
it was 100% more psychadelic than I expected
some of the tracks don't really land that well, but it's pretty nice altogether
don't really have anything real interesting to say here
Meredith Monk - Dolmen Music
I have an enormous respect for vocalists having grown up in a family filled with drunk Irish singing (the best kind), and the vocal melodies and harmonies created here are some of the best I've ever heard
it's a tad goofy though
Tiebreak EP required Dogwander and Mark And
no restriction
>>64555423
If you like their music then you should. Might be their last tour together
>>64555658
>>64555547
hey cool, no hurry : )
>>64555658
Gastr Del Sol - 20 Songs Less
hey dailyfriends, do you have this album in two pieces or something like this?
>>64555747
it's on yt. everybody SYNC?
it's modern japanese garage rock
>>64555891
2 pieces
>>64555658
Bernard Parmegiani - Sonare
>>64555891
it's something like that for me
>>64555891
Like how there are two introductions? yeah, one for each side of the record i assumed. is that not how its supposed to be?
>>64555891
Mine has two sides, A - The Fertility of the Earth and B - The Sacrifice, and it's 35 minutes. How it's split in tracks shouldn't matter too much, the piece is the same.
Or are you asking for a link?
Superior "Le Sacre du Printemps" recording coming through.
>>64555931
oh okay, i found it in two pieces under a lot of 14-part albums
it seems a bit more logical
>>64556127
that's the one I've got
it's definitely great
>>64556133
>I Am A Poseur
new theme song of /daily/?
tune in sync for weeb rock in a while
>>64556161
yes absolutely
sucks that i am a poseur is just a bside on the single version so it doesnt get much of spotlight on the cover. otherwise someone couldve photoshopped this onto another daily thread image
or maybe we still can?
Keiji Haino - Tenshi no Gjinka
This was pretty nice
very different from what I'm used to from him
especially liked track 5, although it was too avant for the librarians who said they could hear it from over the other side of the room,
It had me in a trance though
eagerly wanting to relisten to this
Melt Banana - MxBx, 13,000 Miles at Light Speed
something's missing and I can't quite articulate what
it's missing the usual punch from a studio release of that time
really dug Surfin USA though
The Native Hipsters - There Goes Concord Again
yeah man, pretty nice
very scattered and schizophrenic, probably need to relisten to it, I don't feel like I've fully digested it
The Chameleons - What Does Anything Mean Really
quite nice, liked the bass, as always, didn't really dig some of the melodies here much though, they felt like odd choices for the music, like they didn't fit
"In Shreds" is a straight up perfect song though
so far TCB has good taste, what next?
sync
now

The /mu/ Discord is all memes
>>64557331
we're on a meme imageboard, what did you expect
>>64557434
>>64557453
maybe you should listen to more actual classical instead of that nerdy stuff on your chart
you could even have french stuff
>>64557529
Honestly I'm listening to whatever I want lately, as in not really following chart. I've only listened to one record for the tournament and I'm taking the torts & socks chart real slow because I don't feel like forcing myself to stuff. I might not make charts for a while after those for that same reason.
Anyway Ravel has my interest and I wanted to do it this weekend. Other than that, I'm open to any music if you have any suggestions.
>>64557647
you should document those in a freeform chart so us nerds can see what you are listening to :)
you would probably like these memes:

>>64557755
Schwarzwaldfahrt is neat, gr8 drumming from Han.
As for the quartets, I am planning to do them (I've listened to the first two). I had a chart and all but instead of doing it by CDs I decided to them by order and couldn't be arsed to change it. I'll probably finish the early ones and explore some other early stuff of his (I think symphony 3).
I might do a freeform chart if I'm not too lazy then.
very abbreviated synopses
Abida Parveen - Visal: Meeting Mystic Poets from the Hind & Sind (2002)
>qawwali, kafi
earth shattering vocals and instrumentation but every song is the same, guess that's kinda what qawwali albums do.
3.0
Atheist - Elements (1993)
>progressive metal, technical death metal
an improvement over unquestionable presence in terms of technicality, but the songwriting took a massive hit. p alright jazz influence though.
2.0+
Pulp - This Is Hardcore (1998)
>art rock
wonderfully written pop album with phenomeneal theatric vocals. too long, but still great.
3.5-
Sade - Love Deluxe (1992)
>smooth soul, sophisti-pop
cheese, but pretty good cheese. even if the opener eclipses every other track here.
2.5-
>>64558033
nice dubs
iirc you listened to wovenhand's s/t and kinda liked it
you may wanna give a shot to blush music eventually, it has some similar stuff but in a lot of parts is also slower, more atmospheric and sparse
i'd say listen to this version of my Russia and if you like it then you might like the record
https://youtu.be/Wu6BUa9PMTI
thank you and god bless
also glad to see you liked Silvio
I guys,
I'm new on this thread and its very interesting.
The chart on the link has a bad quality and i cant find it nowhere .
Someone can post it?
>>64553029
It kicks ass tbqh
>>64558305
i'll def check it out soon. i wanna get thru most of edwards' projects, considering how much I liked sackloth 'n' ashes and woven hand.
>>64558437
you mean the favorites chart? or a template?
here's the former, not sure if the latest version
>>64559006
n ice
so is sonemic still happening? wasn't it supposed to be finished in april?
>>64558437
>>64559202
good timing, considering i just updated it to add damo eye and take out dailyfriend cos he hasn't been around in a couple months.
>>64559309
also i truly and officially can not add anybody else unless someone here leaves, one more group of 3 and it goes over 4 mb. i can still update picks and such, but i can't add.
Hello /daily/, did I miss something in the last few days?
>>64559052
I'm gonna listen to this BM album
>>64559309
don't worry friend I optimized your image
anyway I think they're working on sonemic et al (see glitchwave beta) but it's gonna take longer than they expected, maybe at least another whole month or something judging from the lack of news on sonemic or cinemos
>>64553617
sorry here i am now
no restrictions right
Sun Ra - The Magic City
if heard, The Residents - The Third Reich N' Roll

>>64559498
I read somewhere that itll be done by summer, but idk much about it all. >>64556602
How was that first pnguin album?? Gonna listen again soon
>>64559843
mate I am the biggest Sun Ra fan ever, pay attention
I haven't heard the other one, but I have also not heard a single Residents album, so maybe you want to change based on that knowledge. Maybe you don't.
>>64559930
only the text works, so i just copy the text and the empty boxes in and add the covers myself. and go ahead!
>>64559923
Fuck it i will:)

>>64559968
>I am the biggest Sun Ra fan ever
cool, I've been getting into him a lot these past two months, what are some overlooked albums of his?
>>64559968
>I have also not heard a single Residents album
oh my... i think you'll like Duck Stab, even though it's my least favorite from the 70s era, it's a good entry point.
>>64560006
Oops see >>64560018
>>64560018
see I kinda lost faith when I saw Beach House
but then you added Sketches of Spain and now I like you again
>>64560037
>i know, i have this thing called "taste"
no
>cool, I've been getting into him a lot these past two months, what are some overlooked albums of his?
Strange Strings and Sleeping Beauty
>oh my... i think you'll like Duck Stab, even though it's my least favorite from the 70s era, it's a good entry point.
so will this be your rec then or would you rather I listened to that for my freeform chart and you rec a better one?
>>64560045
Idk i have a massive soft spot for beach house, their fanbase is super cringe but that album is lush with beautiful pop music.
>>64560006
I had no clue people knew that album when I came here. I never see it posted either. Underrated gem
>>64560037
>please change divorce lawyers
never, it's my absolute fav u donk
nat please swap Here Comes The Indian with "You Turn me On" by Beat Happening
and swap "beat happening s/t" with anco - danse manatee
much love!
>>64560119
sorry, all of the people on the chart are active and if i add another group of three it goes over 4chan's file limit :(
if you've got an rym i can put in the url like i did with misha though
>>64560109
>Strange Strings and Sleeping Beauty
sleeping beauty was my first sun ra album, have yet to hear strange strings
>>64560109
>would you rather I listened to that for my freeform chart and you rec a better one?
sounds like a good idea
The Residents - Not Available for the tourney
>>64560241
>never, it's my absolute fav u donk
>mfw it's becoming my absolute favorite too
>danse manatee
that was quick, didn't expect you to love it that much. still a great album though
>>64560241
B-but indian is their best! Danse is just their secret best
>>64560298
>Danse is just their secret best
incorrect.
alright folks papa nat is done with the chart for today
>>64560241
i've gotta relisten to danse manatee in full, i've been digging essplode a lot recently.
>>64560286
>danse manatee
it's so epocal idk
feels like every sound is an entire world on its own and should be venered as in being so
i listened to it with my eyes closed and it was so vivid and real, hcti is a great journey, but this is just as great and goes to even more places. basically i've been obsessing over it back and forth!
>>64560346
>filename
>>64560343
Hyped to catch them live tomorrow :)
Fuck Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago is good. Heard it because of Grand Central, but literally every track is great.
7+/10
The Coltrane exploration has yet to disappoint.
Holy shit lmao Burn the Witch is terrible.
Premiata Forneria Marconi - Per un amico (1972)
>symphonic prog, progressive rock
Nice and pleasant prog album. Lots of melodic tendencies for the genre, and it pulls of this picture of more standard pop songwriting with prog song structures pretty well, even though a lot of the abrupt style switches seem awkward and a bit tacked-on, especially on "Il banchetto". I can dig it, though.
3.0-
Was recommended Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats' album Mind Control last night on a different thread. Very gud, very tasty. i leik.
>>64560703
three of fastro's albums have hands in the down position hehe
>>64560814
listen to Blood Lust, its even better
I'm in the mood for really fringe stuff. Give me your worst.
>>64560601
Something is kinda off about it innit? Like at first I thought "well it's not more bloody Four Tet worship at least" but like the orchestra really does nothing to the song, it's just flavoring.
>>64560601
Really? I thought Thom's singing was a bit clichéd, in delivery and lyrics, but the rest of the song was pretty good. The sharp string playing was especially nice. I suppose the vocals were so high in the mix that it really could bring the song down if you were annoyed by that.
Not their best work, but certainly not "holy shit terrible" by any stretch of the imagination.
>>64560346
We appreciate all that you do
for benji
Why even live if you can't go and see Anna Karina discuss Godard...
>>64560874
i'd like to say i did that on purpose but i didn't!

>>64560973
It literally belongs on Viva La Vida.
>>64561024
Was krautfolk really so fringe in 1981? I'm pretty sure at least three other bands were still doing that kinda stuff around the same time. Besides that sound's kinda my home base anyway.
>>64561074
I don't remember any Enotronics on BtW though.
>>64561118
how about seemingly serious american folk music revival done in 1975 by a 26-year-old that sounds like he's 80 that comes off more as an offensive pastiche than anything else?: https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/leon_redbone/on_the_track/
does anyone know this band? I accidentally found about it through youtube and I like Think a lot
any recced albums?
>>64561074
>Pop rock song has string accompaniment
>Must go on Viva la Vida
Admittedly they do have similar staccato "striking" patterns, if in different times
>>64561226
I looked them up, and holy shit I remember this song
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPuXvpkOLmM
The music video is hilariously 80s
But sorry, no other album recs
>>64561118
Entire string section sounds like VLV "enotronics".
>>64561334
The melody and singing and everything sounds like Coldplay. The only thing that's really different is the "le avant garde Johnny XD" dissonance at the end.
>>64560346
c-could u add 'aka Misha' next to my username :'3c -sweats-
>>64561181
I said fringe. With an f. I didn't mean your actual worst, ya know.
>>64561376
Kind of, yeah.
Are you upset they no longer sound like Muse?
>>64561453
here u go!
>>64561499
just listen to songs of pain on repeat then

>Pale Cocoon - 繭
This sounded more like I should enjoy it than I actually do. That is to say, I certainly did enjoy this quite fair amount, but it's more like a weird mix between a pop album and an ambient album (it's not an ambient album, but the lack of real standouts and how everything just seems to flow into each other reminds me of ambient). It's all very pleasant, though, except some tracks try to emulate a spooky sound and fall flat. Almost a 3.0, but not quite. 2.5+
>Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Shahbaaz
oh yeah those are some vocals and that's some percussion. Love the energy. 4.0
>The Sounds Stylistics - Play Deep Funk
Funk is only sporadically great, and this album removes that which could make funk sporadically great to begin with. Is the result bad? Not by any means, but the focus on instrumental grooves rather than actual songwriting can only please to some degree. It plays like a house record (and looks like one, too), except funk wasn't made to be house, yeah? It's fine, really, but don't knock on my door with that deep funk shit again, I get the idea, I'm kinda ok with it, but it's something that fundamentally seems to be ok and nothing else. 2.5-
>Chuck Person - Eccojams, Vol. 1
Runs an idea into the ground, but at least the idea is nice enough to make the album good regardless. Looping and distorting pop songs, primarily from the 70s and 80s it seems, to create new songs/sound collages. The result makes for a seriously nice listen, but when the gimmick of looping an old songs to create a new song keeps repeating itself, you start wondering what's it really all for, yeah? So basically, uh, cool and all, could have been worse, vaporwave is a decent meme, this is probably the best the genre has gotten, please give the meme a rest, it's dead, yadda yadda. 3.0-
>>64562787

>Love the energy.

>>64561376
I'd argue that Chris Martin's singing was styled after Thom Yorke's. I have to admit the dissonant bit slapped on to the end did feel forced though.
>>64563974

any idea who it might've been? creepy professor jackson? janitor ernest? dean wormer?!

>>64564033
>any idea who it might've been?
Out of 20,000 students? No chance. It's happened multiple times though, so it's probably multiple people, but I'd like to imagine it's one guy just blowing through IP addresses as they get rotated.
>>64564102
Eduroam's not *that* slow, but it drops out all the time.
>>64564102
these are the kinds of reviews that piss me off, you create some little comedic diatribe in order to antagonize people to mask the fact that you can't articulate any of your criticism. You can plug in any song and band into that scenario and it would work the same, so really that "people like that should die in a fire" remark is useless.
idk what you think of the residents, I understand why people would dislike them. But you communicate nothing with these shitty little quips.
>>64564533
10/10 critique critique my dude

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Grand Opening and Closing (2001)
>experimental rock, avant-garde metal
There are a few moments here where there's a really cool mixture of experimental soundscaping and weird-ass metal riffs, but sadly these moments are few and far between compared to both the meandering industrial pastiche bits and the Patton-esque, absolutely horrendous freak out bits. The industrial bits are actually kinda cool, but when it goes full Patton it just becomes unlistenable. Shame, because there are a lot of good ideas and some good execution here.
2.0-
Shameless post with no content to prove that I'm still alive and doing tourney stuff.
Commencing the part of the post that has to do with music:
"The new Radiohead song is good."
>>64555689
oh boy
>>64562787
oh no
>>64564775
it's coolio, it's accepted for the tourney, maybe it's nice!
John Coltrane - Giant Steps (1960)
>Hard Bop
The drums on this are really good, the piano is just okay. Coltrane's sax is kind of underwhelming and especially at the beginning and end it goes nowhere and is too meandering for my tastes. It picks up a little in the middle, but like I said, drops again at the end. A shame because a lot of the playing is really nice.
This gets a ~.
>>64564533
>expecting useful and informative reviews from /daily/
You can't even get real reviews from professional music critics, let alone for-fun daily nerds.
>>64564102
(For real though, there are better Residents albums.)
>>64565167
this is why i've moved my reviewing outfit to other discussion platforms.
>>64565167
>for-fun
lol are we on the same thread?
>nerds
K maybe
Anyway, first pair of reviews from me
Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic
More fun and memorable than their first two, which were solid. Feels like something genetically engineered to mimic the steely dan sound with maximum hooks and funkiness. Feels a little too clinical/constructed in a couple places. At one point in "with a gun" all the pieces seemed to un-gel and I could tell every instrument was recorded separately. Ruined the immersion. But fun and exciting overall. 3.5
Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
I'm never too excited about ambient but this was enjoyable. Not tedious, kept me engaged. /mu/'s only thoughts on it are "Zeit is their best" and I think this is the first ambient record to make me want to explore further, so I'll check that out. 3.5

was that your first Tuvan album? real world is kinda shite far as world labels go, despite having some of the absolute best world releases (NFA Khan, Matt Molloy, Homrong).
that was really fucking close tbqh
Started listening to R.E.M.'s Document from the beginning for the first time a while ago. Currently on It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine). Obviously familiar with that song. Still fucking love it.
>>64565796
I had their Eponymous compilation CD as a kid, played the shit out of it. Still find myself humming those songs today.

>Frank Sinatra - Songs for Swingin' Lovers
Tried giving Frank another shot after being bored by In the Wee Small Hours, but this didn't really do anything for me either.
His style seems very formulaic, which is probably just be a product of the time, but it sure doesn't hold up. Most every song features a swinging big band accompaniment to Sinatra's nonchalant singing. About two minutes in, the band crescendos with some horn fare and he sustains a loud high note to close out the song. None of the tracks really stood out, but I suppose "You Make Me Feel So Young" has a rather enjoyable swagger to it. It helps that it's the first song, so it hits before the monotony of the whole thing rears its ugly head.
>5/10
>>64565377
What platforms? To or from /daily/?
>>64565493
>lol are we on the same thread?
I think most people are here for a good time, or at least an enriching time or something. At least, I'm here for a good time.
>K maybe
Definitely.
Also, I keep meaning to check out Tangerine Dream, but I never do. Seems like I might like them though? Either way, I don't feel strongly enough about not having heard them to do anything about it. Oh well.
>>64561226
Yeah I know about them. I've only listened to What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy). Which is basically the song they're known for (is Information Society considered a one-hit wonder?).
>>64565959
Alpha Centauri and Zeit are the best TD albums.
and of course, *from* daily. if you couldn't tell i've just been posting my filled in calendars and shitposting when i'm not doing that. i don't see sharing music with mu as being some kind of personal duty like some here may subconsciously see it. or as i once may have seen it but now hold no shame in projecting that onto unsuspecting nerds.
4chan fucking sucks
>>64566207
oh dear. what'd they do this time?
captcha: bent twig allegro.
balfa brothers- traditional cajun music vol. 1 & 2
really fucking premium stuff. it's very pure- even the accordion never sounds cheesy or disingenuous. but at 34 songs, it's far too much at once. I dunno why vol. 1 & 2 are released together.
thanks for the rec hampus
>>64566290
*24 songs
it's over an hour long, seems like 40 minutes or less would be far preferable
>>64566312
you could have just listened to volume 2 on its own.
because it's better than volume 1.
also that's just how trad folk comps be. they usually value scope, to paint the best picture of that style.
hell i wish pic related was over an hour long.
>>64565959
Glad to see someone getting into 1001, I hope you like it.
Sinatra's great background music but awful foreground. It's not built for what I want to get out of music, I guess. I agree that that album and the other both lead with the only great track. Unintentionally unfair. The other Sinatra I've had to listen to was no better, but no worse. Pic related is pretty consistently comfy though, and a different genre, so maybe you'd feel better about it
>Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell
Really pretty singing and guitar sound. My only real complaint about this album is that every song sounds similar to one another. It's not that its really a bad thing it's just none of the songs really stand out. 7/10
Favorite Track: Death With Dignity
>>64566745
i don't know why but i dont like this guy.
His voice, his guitar playing ....
Everything goes wrong.
I can see in your charts two slowcore albums , what is your favourite albums in this category?
>>64567182
It's so hard to pick a favorite one, but my top 3 would probably be Duster - Stratosphere, Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill, and Galaxie 500 - On Fire
>>64561654
Listening now. So far I could describe this as the most truly backwoods album I've ever heard, the core of that angst without any traditional pretense.
>>64567331
Duster , galaxie 500 god tier
Low - we could live in hope in 3 for me

Good Morning /daily/!

Will listen to something in a few.
Peter Broderick - Float (2008)
>ambient, modern classical
Stunningly pretty sometimes, really sappy and far too much like a shitty movie score at other times. I like when it's just simple piano work, but it just gets so overblown and cheesy when the other instruments get brought in. This style of ambient has been done so much better.
2.0
>>64567534
you're goddamn right. it's incredible.
>>64568118
It's very interesting. Currently on Wild West Virginia. I think the super loud piano is a bit much but like I respect it on the other hand, like that's the point of lo-fi recording right? To distort familiar sounds into something more abrasive? Anyway I think I'm slightly too suburban to completely relate across the entire album.
>>64568248
if the piano's a bit much, check out his 1990 album. it's mostly guitar and the bits with piano are toned down a lot. and if you like songs of pain, he's got like a dozen albums just like it, but all with their own unique quirks
>>64568303
I have heard some of his other records, my favorite song from memory is Story of an Artist, but idunno I think my initial peak fascination with him came around the same time I was exploring R Stevie Moore and Wesley Willis and I was just more drawn to those artists. Not too late for me to get back into Dan though ^u^
Bump
>>64568986
nice
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Moanin' (1958)
>Hard Bop
People mostly mention Drum Thunder Suite when praising this album, but I think the other tracks deserve just as much praise. The drumming is (of course) phenomenal throughout the whole album, but the thing I like most is that it's so clear that this album is lead by a drummer. All the instruments sound very rythmic and that really adds to the dance-y feel this album has.
This gets a +.
>>64567957
any plans for your day off? Is wednesday a standard day off or is this a special occasion?
>>64569408
Today is Latvia's Independence Day. I am planning to go buy a book and read it in a park. Maybe watch the parade. The weather is really nice.
>>64569436
Cool! Any book in particular? Fiction? Sounds like a good day, I love reading in the park.
>>64569469
Whatever they'll have in store. I've been trying to finish Lermontov's oeuvre but all his poems are so similar and remind me of middle school. Can't handle that shit.
Yeah, reading in the park is nice. Might get some cigars to go with it all too.
>>64569544
You should get a cheap harmonica if you haven't already. It's fun to sit on a bench and play, and if you put a jar by your feet you might get money. Acoustic guitars and concertinas can get you girls as well, but they're not as easy to lug around.
Of course, this is speaking as an American. I don't know how well that goes over in Latvia.
>>64569606
I wanted to go out and do that sometime. It is similar here though. A lot of the musicians on the streets play more trad instruments, which is cool.
Haven't visited /mu/ in literally years and I'm very out of the loop. Right now I'm listening to Perfume's 2013 release, pictured (left), and they've already got another one out and
it's just overwhelming.

Lmao that's not actually part of the album. It's their first single just tacked onto the disc. Nostalgia is another single too :^)
Grats on droning. Doubt you'll be reading this.
>>64570887
Huh, just realized something about myself looking at archive posts discovering posts I made. Seems like I'm on a high horse. Welp, hello to change
I've wanted to get more properly into classical for quite some time, so I added a section to my jazz chart.
Can't wait to finish the tourney now.
Also if you know a nice recording for a piece, don't hesitate to rec (though I do have some recordings in mind for some of the pieces)!
>>64567957
That is a bummer. I feel bad for you, now that I've slept just about eight hours.
Ready to write some reviews! Going to study for a while today as well, political psychology and bio-politology. It is going to be interesting.
What about you, /daily/?
>>64571248
I like Hewitt's performances of the Ravel piano stuff. She has his complete (or at least mostly complete if it's missing anything) piano works in a compilation I'd recommend it.
>>64558437
Don't believe their lies, this is the real chart.
>>64571623
I'm finishing up this tourney, listening to a lot of shit again, writing shitty reviews, etc.
I might be able to drop reviews late tomorrow night if I find enough time. I've been sleeping more than usual lately so it's not very unlikely.

It's a local meme, sorry. Thought you post here often.
What don't you like about her anon?
>>64571962
The lack of melody, I guess.
I think she can do nice things with her voice but the noise makes me cringe.
well /daily/ it seems I've woken up late as fuck today
how are you all doing?
>>64562787
not a deep funk guy?
oh well
>>64565765
I guess I advance for this one?
if so, I kinda wanna know the reason why
>>64571962
Not the guy you replied to but if I wanted to hear noise music I'd sit in a forest or near waterfalls rather than listening to a drugged hipster.
>>64565765
OH WHAT
No, really, it is fine. It is your opinion, after all.
>>64572029
I am doing fine, how about you, chief?
>>64571999
The noise is sort of the whole genre shtick. I like her vocals a lot. Reminds me of Galas a bit.
>>64572033
> a drugged hipster
Well from my personal experience with Margaret she seemed to be a cool person. Shitty tea preference, but seemed to be a well-spoken and interesting persona.
Her stage performances are up in your face, which is great seeing live. I think that she is somewhat genuine about her performances too from the live shows I've seen.
>>64572064
I'm feeling like I've wasted a good amount of the day by waking up late
things'll turn out okay if I do shit that'll at least be enjoyable
might finish the first round of my tourney today if I'm in the mood for it

Night Nurse, Maggot Brain and Go Sailor are some good shit
I remember Singles being good when I listened to it but that was 2 years ago so I don't know if I'll feel the same
I haven't heard the rest
>>64572172
Maggot Brain's the only one I know and it's great.
Good morning.
I like the new Radiohead video.
I'm listening to Beat Happening.

the first one, the 1996 edition.
>>64572601
sweet
I haven't heard it yet but I've got it on vinyl so I should do that sometime
>>64572676
Yeah you should, it's a very nice album. Still think i prefer Jamboree though. I also need to listen to the original 12-track version of this.
How's it going /daily/? Got a long weekend ahead of me, five days of, seeing Ryoji Ikeda friday and will try to find some time to visit the film institute for some Zulawski screenings. What music do you listen to when your happy?

Agreed my dude
Ground Zero - Consume Red
Bloody hell. This was fantastic. I wasn't sure if Ground Zero could make an album I'd love as much as Revolutionary Pekinese Opera Version 1.28 but they did. The build up here with repetition and droning sounds was excellent and I was engaged the whole time. I loved the noise, I loved the constantly repeating sax, I loved the bleep bloops and turntable fuckery, I loved the drumming, damn it I loved everything about this. 5/5.
>>64573337
I made this big-ass playlist with happy stuff a couple of weeks ago and I've been listening to that a lot lately. Also lots of shoegaze and indeh pop.
>>64574603
>sax
It's a hojok you filthy plebeian.
>>64574650
Cool sky nerd.
what's next for the freeform chart?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10125558
>>64574663
oh shit okay
the hojok sounds like a cross between a saxophone and a bagpipe desu
>>64574678
"Haha" I half lied, it's actually a hojok and a sax doing a call and response thing.
Next is Musical Abortions.
>>64574674
Thanks, you colossal faggot
>>64574691
>it's actually a hojok and a sax doing a call and response thing.
so I was somewhat correct
"haha"
>Next is Musical Abortions
damn it how did I forget the meme again
>>64574650

only albums aren't really that much shorter than films and books vary greatly in length and time to take it in is fully dependent on the reader's ability.
>>64575394
>not reading a book a day
>>64575394
Yes but the average short album is like 40 mins and the average short movie is like 1.5 hour. You couldn't read an average book (~300 pages) in that time.
Although people who are really into film doe sometimes speak of film of the day and I guess we only speak of album of the day because we are so into music.
>>64575394
Oh and if you go to /r/literature, they have a biweekly what have you been reading thread. Most people have read about 3 books in that periods so they'd probably speak about book of the week too.
>>64573337
>happy music
Check out Choose Your Weapon by Hiatus Kaiyote
Also lots of folky and psych stuff
>>64575394
I wonder
how long does it usually take for you to finish a book?
I'm not asking how long it would take for you to finish one in one session but what is often the amount of time you take to finish a book you start?
>>64571672
Thanks!
>>64571911
Yeah I've already heard some of those Alban Berg thingies, so I was planning on finishing those :)
Thanks!
>>64572715
12 track version is killer, it basically shrugs off all the weaker songs
>>64571896
woww, RUDE
>>64571896
underrated
>>64570887
how does that have any bearing on the album I heard
Like if I were to buy a copy of this, it would most likely include both of those track because singles are silly and don't exist anymore
Fugazi did the same thing with Repeater + 3 Songs
as far as I know you can't buy just Repeater anymore without having to sell a kidney
also the last row is literally droning Talking Cat Bob, your life is funny to me
>>64575831
Wasn't a big fan when I initially heard it desu
>>64559960
it's pretty nice, I could see Wes Anderson using some of the tracks as the soundtrack to one of his films, so make of that what you will
I enjoyed it

I love killing pawn-brokers

Pretty good, been up all night playing League of Legends with friends. Excited for the semester to be over.
>>64576772

I can't really get into stuff like LoL or DOTA but because I live in the Philippines I've got a bunch of friends into the games
a majority of them are neat people
>Excited for the semester to be over
woo
hope you have some fun after that, man
>>64576675
gonna listen to more Andrew Hill and then probably watch a motion picture
>>64576834
I will, I won't have to focus on classes so I can do more work and listen to more music!
league is a terrible game especially if you aren't good at it.
>>64576755
Sweet, thanks for the list. I definitely know some of that, but not much.
>>64576864
I've heard dota is just as unforgiving. My friends spend so much time grinding at it and they still say they're far from the top. Vidya isn't really for me but Undertale was telling first game in a year I actually bought. Loved it. The OST is good too
>>64576864
desu I've never actually tried LoL but it just doesn't really seem interesting to me
as for DOTA, I've tried a bit of it but due to computer glitches and the fact that I didn't enjoy it that much I just stopped
>>64576904
Undertale is really good
interesting concepts and ideas, neat humour, nice atmosphere and of course the good OST
however, I found that the gameplay got a bit boring during the second run of the game but I won't being doing a third run anyway so it doesn't matter much
>>64576904
Yeah, I'm not anything of a video game fan enough to post on /v/ or something. I play hearthstone, magic online, civ V and league only
>>64576944
It's not very interesting. Just avoid it unless you know a lot of people irl to play it with. It's shit otherwise.
>>64576875
have you listened to The Softies yet?
probably my favorite Melberg project out of the 3 I've heard
>>64576977
Not yet, just Go Sailor and Cast Away the Clouds. (not even Tiger Trap i know, im scum) I'll listen to the Softies today
>>64576637
What's up with the qawwali stuff at the end though
>>64577144
that's not supposed to be in the record. you're probably listening to the tape rip, where deakin put some extras so that who ordered the cassette had more material
>>64577198
Oh okay
Alright guys, it's been a while, what fresh memes have I missed?

>>64575394
The average album is shorter than the average movie. The average movie is shorter than the average book, independent of reading skill. Factoring in reading skill, the question becomes even more ridiculous. Doing some quick Google searching, I found that the average novel seems to run anywhere from 70,000 to 150,000 words and the average reader can read about 200 words per minute with about 60% comprehension (apparently "professional" readers, in the top 1%, can read up to 1,000wpm with 85% comprehension). With some simple math, it should take the average person anywhere from 6 to 12 hours to read your average novel, and even then, only understand just over half of what they've read. I expect if you read a lot, however, you would greatly increase your reading comprehension and reduce your reading time.
One of the fastest and most prolific readers I know is retired lawyer and literary critic Michael Orthofer, who maintains The Complete Review literary review website and reviews 250 books per year, and this is his full time job. (If you're ever looking to get into foreign works translated into English, by the way, he's your guy.)
>http://www.complete-review.com/main/main.html
Even more fundamentally, music is a lot less attention-hogging than movies or books. Movies especially, considering those require undivided attention of sight and hearing. Also, movies and music have fixed consumption times, while books depend on the skill of the consumer.

Best House is the best song on Sleep Cycles. Hope you enjoy that at least.

do you intend to do the genocide run?
>>64577574
Yeah man, I'm hoping to nab all those endings but going full extremes sounds most appealing anyways. I've heard what you do the first playthrough affects everything on the second so now I'm worried though...
>Flying Saucer Attack - Flying Saucer Attack [edcvghjklpoiu]
I really can't help it, i'm a sucker for music like this. Basically noise pop, but it doesn't cater to the wavy and smooth pleasure that for example loveless strives for: the distortion is heavy but not RIDICOLOUSLY heavy, and the songs under it are some spacy fresh rock. Also some very tribal drums dominate the record, especially on the two more ambient and calm tracks (which i didn't like as much but they're pretty good). 3.5 [WINNER]
>Arto Lindsay - Noon Chill [jimmyjazz]
Genre-wise it's an interesting record. Percussion-heavy bossa nova, but it doesn't really feel spanish (even if some songs are sung en espanol). It's consistently enjoyable throughout but it doesn't have a lot of peaks or for that matter falls, apart from the song Simply Are, which is incredibly dancy, poignant and lyrically interesting track. The way the words touch with the instruments just makes me want to move. 3.0+
lov both of you! edcvg i hope you show up soon.

yeah the game doesn'y forget what you do
going the genocide route prevents you from properly playing the game once you're done I think so do that last if you really want to do it
Masayoshi Fujita - Apologues
>Modern Classical
This is undeniably beautiful. The sounds themselves are more beautiful than the progressions are, but it's hard to not like something this pretty.
This gets a +.
Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Ensemble - Dreams
>Avant-garde jazz, jazz-pop
The actual jazz parts on this can be nice, especially the slow saxes. The poppy bits however, are very lost on me. The vocals don't fit the record imo and a lot of the instrumentation on the poppy bits is too sickly sweet for my tastes.
This gets a ~.

Softies 10" (giggle)
Good stuff :) very pleasant. Sounds a lot like Cast Away The Clouds without piano. A little too mellow for me, desu, I guess I miss the drums. Right on the edge between "ooh dats a good one" and "whoa gimme more", so give me another Softies rec and I'll gladly listen.

I haven't heard Cast Away the Clouds desu
Softies + piano sounds really cool though so I'll have to check that out
