Like the Todd video pointed out, there actually were some '80s bands that rode out the '90s pretty well by just not bothering to chase trends and embracing their Dad Rock status. (Aerosmith, Ozzy, Bon Jovi)FilthyImp posted:Digital production and modern mixing has sanitized a lot of the blemishes that got in to older music. That's true but it's also definitely a choice. Any producer can just choose to not quantize/autotune the tracks and stuff even though they're recorded digitally. But there are a lot of overpaid hacks who need to justify their salary by doing all that stuff. Meanwhile there are plenty of indie rock bands who definitely can't afford to do stuff on tape, but sound great and raw anyway.

If you can sound good raw and live you will sound good. It is very telling which bands can only sound good on an album and are heavily produced. I went to two Weezer concerts (Green Album and Maladroit tours) and after that I decided they were garbage and I was never wrong about that. Terrible live band that got upstaged by their openers by a long shot. By the way their openers for Green Album were Tenacious D and Jimmy Eat World and they rocked. Maladroit was Sparta and The Strokes. Sparta rocked but The Stokes bailed that night.

You can digitally recreate the look of an oil paint painting on canvas. But the whole creative process is so radically different, that the end product will be radically different too. And if that is not the end product you want it to be, then the digital oil paint stuff will be worthless to you. The same goes for analog recording and the original instruments versus VST plugins controlled with a midi keyboard. The user experience is an integral part of the creation of art. Would a concert pianist in a beautiful music hall play as well on a digital piano you put on stage, as on a grand? I think the digital piano would feel very out of place, and that it absolutely would have a detrimental effect on how the pianist would play. Neither would an artist trying to make 90s style house music be making the thing they want to make on a concert grand. It's not complete without those typical 90s piano samples. Of course, when you're not really intent to be creating art, but more a music product made for radio and tiktok, then it doesn't really matter and you're likely gonna make more money with some random digital workstation, some clean middle of the road microphone and a whole lot of plugins. So in the end, it all depends on the kind of art you want to make. Horses for courses, and although digital can recreate a whole plethora of sounds, it does not feel the same and for most artists that is an important factor in their choice of equipment. I got some Tascam and Yamaha 4 track 9,5cm/s cassette recorders with DBX which sound absolutely amazing. Theoretically i could somewhat recreate the sound, in practice that means spending many hours comparing the sound of my digital workflow and the tape deck, trying dozens of plugins, building complex chains of effects to match the pumping or ducking effect on the neighbor channels the DBX sometimes causes etc etc etc. Sometimes going the analog way is just easier too, but it absolutely helps to be able to do small repairs like scratchy potentiometers and worn belts yourself.

This is objectively great news and I really can't wait to hear it: quote:The music on Someone’s Ugly Daughter is described by Carey as “almost kind of a girls’ group Green Day kind of moment.” She also says that she designed the original album artwork: “It was a dead roach and some lipstick.”

There are tons of local shows all over this country (per Wikipedia there are 210 television markets), so all they had to do was contact their publicist for an interview. It's not like New York is a small market either (it's number 1, per Wikipedia), so that probably also worked in their favor, as opposed to say Billings, Montana (number 167).

IIRC from an interview with Hannibal Buress I half-watched a few months ago, by like seasons 2/3 it was already difficult to get properly ignorant guests and a lot of people would come on set with some amount of awareness or preparedness. Also, even when guests didn’t know what to expect, most of them were consummate showbiz professionals who put up with a surprising amount of abuse. In either case, it meant filming for hours and hours and hours to basically wear people down and collect a few moments of weird that could be edited into an episode of the Eric Andre Show. Tbh he seemed pretty ambivalent about the whole thing, and made it seem like he wasn’t too keen to come back or shoot more episodes. He definitely seems bothered that people might mistake his Eric Andre Show persona for how he is in real life, or typecast/pigeonhole him in some way because of it.

Y’all, The Daily Show and Colbert Report went for years and clowned on people consistently, well after they reached peak popularity. Has the generational shift moved that much to put the idea of shows like that out of recent memory already? People are dumb. People want on TV. People are desperate for a platform. That’s how a show like that works.

Automatic Slim posted:People can find their own platforms. They don’t need to be on tv for their exposure fix. Your factual is still valid though. Despite their seeming ubiquity most people don't actually pursue content on streaming platforms outside of what their friends/communities are already watching so they all have a shared "thing" to talk about, so entertainers and all their associated handlers still gravitate toward whatever platforms they think get them market penetration and visibility even if you end up looking dumb. Eric Andre was, for a while, a great way to keep your face seen among burnouts and teenagers if you did something memeable but the diminishing returns hit and everyone moved on. I'd be willing to bet a lot of these personalities would love to go suffer under his nonsense for another afternoon if it meant not having to compete with vacuum-sealed TikTok stars.
