Music chat - I've had a bit of a low key obsession with these guys for the last couple of months. The transition from comedown to lightenup (3rd and 4th songs) is absolutely  https://youtu.be/e4TFD2PfVPw?si=c_Iq4y-mlYEg0CLA

I sometimes form the intention of getting up to speed with modern music and fashion trends, but I'm just too old and tired to sustain it! I'd never even heard of this dark/ light academia until it was mentioned in this thread but I've had a look and apparently it's a whole thing, for example.

Very funny to me that dark academia is a fashion trend nowadays and not just a sub genre of fantasy books. I think probably whoever said that we're just disconnected from young people's trends because we basically live on parallel planes of existences wet media consumption is right. A friend told me yesterday that he had to use urban dictionary to understand what some kids were saying (I believe the word that tripped him up was gyatt). In the past, the uncool adults wouldn't like the way we spoke, but they at least knew what it meant. Maybe that's just because neither of us have teenagers yet.

smellmycheese posted:Blur crashing and burning at Coachella is quite funny imho I don't even like blur but Coachella is the ultimate hipsters festival. It's not for actual fans. It's rich kids who want to tick a box of things to do that summer. Blur aren't bombing that is just how the crowd always is. That being said, damon should know this. He probably just hates it as much as other artists and doesn't care about not being booked again.

I just watch Brad Taste in Music on youtube to see what's new/decent, although that skews more mainstream. My 50yr old friend likes to rant on Whatsapp about what's being forced down his throat music-wise too, I'd never heard of The Last Dinner Party til he mentioned them a couple of months ago, but at least he saw they were a bunch of £40k a year finishing school posh kids from a mile away. The latest one is English Teacher, who aren't inherently bad, but they're also 'band John Peel would champion like gently caress for 2 months in 1992 that you'll never think of again'. And their sound production is atrocious. 100 gecs are absolutely unlistenable, first heard them on BTiM and I thought he was running it at 2x speed to avoid copyright. You can say 'yeah you don't get it because you're old' but you can be perfectly reasonable, use your ears and say 'this is dogshit and I have no idea what pleasure anyone gets from it.' I am comforatble too at 47 finding a ton of stuff I missed from the 90s through youtube recommendation channels. Last actually new band I really liked was Bruxa Maria, and given I drummed in a previous band for the singer 15 years ago, 'new' may not apply, but they do rock hard.

ever since 2013 when my bloody valentine released M B V, i've been searching for songs with a tone and texture as visceral as "only tomorrow" (please listen to it on loud good speakers or on headphones) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2FQ3ih0MoE i recently started watching the JHS show (of JHS pedals) on youtube, a funny guy who goes into the history of guitar pedals of which he owns many, which is very interesting in its own right! at the end of most episodes he does a little record recommendation related to what he's just been talking about. btw the weird link i've put here puts youtube playlists in order from oldest to newest, something which youtube itself doesn't do apparently? https://playlist.tools/PL_cgYn-EP29bzV88BytQ0CaB_V_6GdnTI/QyvDZDYFFQY anyway this is to say he put me on to "Secrets" by Deep Sea Diver which I bought before I even finished listening to it https://thedeepseadiver.bandcamp.com/album/secrets-2 i go through a lot of new albums, mostly because i don't want to end up like my dad listening to the same old stuff again and again, but generally i've found your favourites are your favourites for a reason

Oh man speaking of retrowave I've been getting into the Midnight recently, continuing my theme of discovering bands the night after they've played a (apparently awesome) local show which I missed. https://youtu.be/nB3MLX1qsVA?si=zHrer4oUjWi6q063 I was 3 when the 80s finished but its such a ridiculously concentrated nostalgia hit it makes you miss it.

Also old so no hot takes on music but today what's really grinding my gears as seen in the Liz Truss vid is demonstrating your a Trained Orator by gesturing all the time with that thumb forefinger chef kiss pose which is apparently the right way to do it now. Can't unsee it everywhere etc. Why's directly pointing rude anyway "look you, learn these points of EU law or I'll have you" seems like a good teaching technique

It's still wild that we* elected a particularly dumb dog as PM and rather than damnatio memoriae that we allow her to just plod along to places to continue pissing and making GBS threads on carpets around the world, with said soiling being "news" we let other countries, including our geopolitical enemies, see. * a bunch of senile child molesters collectively referred to as the conservative party membership

The most impactful UK musicians of recent years are, unexpectedly, (British) Sea Power because of their work on the soundtrack of the greatest CRPG of all time, Disco Elysium.

Still amazing that Truss gets so much media attention, and in particular gets trailed saying things like we need to abolish human rights. She was literally PM and could have done that (attempted, anyway). You had your chance in charge of the no-holds-barred legislative body and absolutely shat the bed spectacularly. Please go away.

6Music on my commute used to be my route in to new music, but since I started subscribing to an excess of podcasts, I rarely listen these days and I'm completely oblivious to what being put out. But I am more informed about obscure topics.... (most recently the sapeurs fashion from the Congo).

I can't even remember where I found out about them, I mean it must have been The Quietus because there's so few other spots, but featuring Shabaka Hutchings from The Comet Is Coming. Your Queen Is a Reptile is such a jawdropping record in a way few are. I need to get my hands on his new album, which I'm just now finding came out last Friday. Apparently Andre 3000 guests on it, playing a native Mexican drone flute, because of course when you have one of the biggest names in rap of the last 2 decades on your record he plays a drone flute B) Baggy jeans never should have gone out of fashion. OK, doesn't have to be the JNCO jeans style but baggy jeans are good

Sons of Kemet and The Comet Is Coming both own, in my regular rotation along with Kamasi Washington, Portico Quartet, and a bunch of Japanese jazz. In SoK-adjacent news I saw The Smile last month and they were good - kinda like going to a Radiohead gig where they play a setlist of songs you don't really like as much as your faves but it's still a good time. I also just saw Mary Lattimore, an LA-based harpist who does loads of cool stuff with extended technique and loop pedals. The gig was in a Unitarian church and was pretty transcendent.

That's a tough one, since I agree with the right to religious freedom, but I don't think you should be allowed to... hang onquote:"She herself says that, long before the prayer ritual policy was introduced, she and her friends believed that prayer was not permitted at school and she therefore made up for missed prayers when she got home." well that erases any issue I had if she can just make up for lost time later.

The easiest thing to do right now to look down with the youth is, finally thank god, to stop wearing awful skinny jacked up trousers in the Sunak style. Get a nice pair of faded blue 501s 90s cut and you’re gonna look cooler than all the beard dads with their chicken legs.
