Ted and I have talked about it, and we don't like that Music and Video are subsections of the board. So here we are.
My playlist for the evening:
Josh Wink - Black Bomb (https://youtu.be/ZZOsqs6zbS4)
Pink Floyd - High Hopes (https://youtu.be/7jMlFXouPk8)
Mark Lanegan - The Gravedigger's Son (https://youtu.be/zP5GWYXp4d0)
Thom Yorke - Black Swan (https://youtu.be/s-2isJqqAKY)
Sia - Chandelier (https://youtu.be/2vjPBrBU-TM)
Don't judge.
Today we listened to some Fred penner and some tool. Yup

i just tried liking luna's post. :(
what i've been listening to:
phil western had a sale which benefited the ACLU, so i bought his entire discog for 40 bucks cdn.
also:
i've been discovering a lot of fun stuff via spotify.
here's a snippet of things i thought were rad this month
I found a local band I really like a year and a half ago ish. https://yearofthecobra.bandcamp.com/ It's a two piece, husband and wife she sings and plays bass, he drums. The music is Black Sabbathy, and really good. And they are some super awesome and nice people, like so much so even if I wasn't as big on the music as I am I'd still support them.

saaaaaaaame!
I've just been applauding people. I suppose that's not saying much, but I feel like the facebook system has schooled me not to just say "hey that's cool" or "I also appreciate this thing" or "haha." On the one hand, it leads to me making more thoughtful comments, but on the other, I make FEWER. So when I do communicate, it's better quality, but I do it a lot less, on the whole, I think.
That's why it was time for me to go. I couldn't bother to communicate anymore. I couldn't give a shit what anyone else was ever doing, especially enough that I should have felt compelled to compliment them. I didn't care much for anyone looking in on my life either. It sort took a lot for me not to attack everybody on Facebook. Jesus.
I miss my friends and family, but not really. Probably makes me a jerk, but I don't care.
Edit: Drunk typos.
pi was the only thing i missed about fb... and i just assumed this one was dead.
New mother mother is on today's playlist :D
You guys, I think I have a Depeche Mode problem. Send help.
That's not a problem!
I haven't had a chance to listen to the new single yet, good?
Omg new dm?
https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=yuz73TlC0-s
oh wow! just saw their new vid for that song too. glad they're getting political. i never see that side of them.
Yeah interested to hear this in the context of the album
Cannot. Wait.
I'm on a Faith No More kick. I seriously love Mike Patton. :wub:
Dude is super dreamy. I saw him live with Tomahawk, he was amazing. (Along with the rest of the band.)
I've been listening to Kimbra. (Please don't judge) It's about as pop as I get, And I'm ok with that... (She is the chick from the Gotye "Somebody I used to know" song.) Her solo stuff is amazing. And her voice is great.
lol dustin likes teaparty
he's such a star star star. ***
I was telling Teddy my new prog metal love is Headspace (the prog metal band, not the other band with the same name). I didn't start listening to them because of that (it's because I became obsessed with Lee Pomeroy) but I love them, especially their first album I Am Anonymous.
Otherwise I'm a dinosaur, as usual, and not overly impressed with Ol'Gloomy's latest low-fi thing he's doing or whatever.
Dust - The Division Bell, really? :P Even I don't listen to that and it's no secret I'll listen to just about any Floyd.
Aw the division bell will always have a special place in my heart. Something about 1994, it was just such a shitty/awesome year
Wow, one post after another that judges my musical taste. Now it's starting to feel a little more homey in here! :D
Ted: I almost didn't buy those tickets because I kept gigglesnorting at their stuff while in my inebriated state. That's never a good sign. However, Babylon (https://youtu.be/ugD7J9g9_Yg) is still so awesome that I couldn't say no. And you like the Nins, so who are you to judge?
Chim: That song particularly holds a special place in me heart, as it's one of my dad's favourites. I can't account for his tastes, and believe me when I say I really wouldn't want to, but I do love High Hopes. The rest of the album is pretty meh, like it was the gang writing like they're a Floyd rip-off.

As all right-thinking people believe. ;)
LOL okay, I get it - although weirdly for me I'm rather more fond of
AMLoR, which is pretty cheesy bad too. I think it's because I know too much about how
TDB was made, which is decidedly counter to the official narrative. I would recommend to either of you if you can to get your hands on Andy Jackson's 5.1 mix - which makes the album sound SO MUCH BETTER, it's amazing.
new Depeche Mode is solid.
I need to give the new Mother Mother another listen. Every time they make an album i go "Eh...not as good as the other ones." Then within a few months the album slowly grows on me.
here's some albums that i've really been liking lately:
Jakob - Sines
Oranssi Pazuzu - Varahtelija
STRFKR - Vault Vol. 1
Corpo-Mente - Corpo-Mente

Duly noted! Thanks for the excellent recommendation. :)
Anyway, my NP is a process of starting to think about the demos I want to share with the studio. I have so much stuff to sift through, and I think I'm going to share as many as I can stand to talk about with you guys. Is that cool?
PS - Set The Controls (https://youtu.be/X3Sl6Rtq4bk) at Pompeii is still my all-time favourite.
Shirley Collins - Lodestar
Nurse With Wound - The Great Ecstasy of the Basic Corrupt
Cyclobe - Sulphur-Tarot-Garden
Zos Kia/Coil - Transparent
Leonard Cohen -You Want It Darker
Subrosa -For This We Fought the Battle of Ages
Subrosa is one of the more interesting doom metal groups I've come across: three women and two men in a guitar/violin/violin/bass/drums line-up with women-dominated vocals (guitarist as primary frontwoman, both violinists on back-up, and the bassist providing the only male voice) and epic 10+ minute songs. Arrangements occasionally remind me of The Fragile: check out the plucked strings in "Dispair Is a Siren" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wpDbI1gca0) at 2:00.
Good to see you, sir. :)
Okay, I'm doing it!
This is a crappy song that I've been fixing up for almost ten years, and I think I'm going to open up to producer dude with it:
digging out (02.13.17) (https://www.dropbox.com/s/t8ftw3ys03b9aw0/digging%20out%20%2802.13.17%29.mp3?dl=0) .mp3

Killing joke was a laughing stock
With my backwards hands in a puppet sock
They got me working double shifts in the harpy den
Counting down the milliseconds 'til the quantum end
I'm drawing blueprint escape plans
Before they snap the seven seals (and my will to live)
You know there's no sense giving into sentences,
Baby, digging out of here is imperative
Lovely lynching up on Gallows' Hill, like the day before and forever still
See the High Noon Typhoon eat up all the sky soon
Just another day in the waiting room...
Dude's had just about enough of Dis
Well, I'm digging out into eternal bliss,
And the only certainty I guarantee, my friend
Is living freely don't come easy to the dead and damned
Ain't no gentle persuasion
Like all the lucky mother fuckers that the lord forgives
It's now or never honey, take your pick,
'Cause we're digging out of here...
...If you choose to live....
Hey there, dear hybrid, who is who
I see you're neither one nor two
Remember me, my screaming trees
I'll be your cherished memory.....
I think it's a pretty cool opener! I'd really like to redo this whole thing, with live drums and better mixing. I'd have a lot of fun singing it live too.
Edit: Sorry that it's Dropbox. The link will work after you close the sign-up thing.
I fucking love that song. I still play it from time to time. (I won't admit to how much of the lyrics I get wrong.) But ya, hopefully they can help you with that. But it's a great song, so it should only get better.
I have it on my ipod as Barfknecht- diggin' out...

Likewise! See, this is why I don't bother with Facebook. Everyone eventually comes back to PI. :)
Glad to see some more recommendations for good music. None of my daily aquaintences listen to anything I'm particularly interested in, and in the absence of mitigating influences I tend to dissappear up my own asshole, musically (More esoteric drone! More atonal modern composition! More improvisational no-wave!)
Tho, my wife liked John Zorn's Christmas album.

They are never going to top the sticks but I like it, the last few songs are a bit boring but overall pretty good
Only in that both species are members of the cuntimal genus.
So no one (except Aaron) said anything about that track I drunkenly slobbered onto the board a page back. And it's cool, I'm really not bothered by that, but I'm kind of less stoked about the idea of going to check out this studio tomorrow. I've got a usb drive with a bunch of stuff loaded onto it, and I'm wondering why I'm bothering with this shit again.
Not in a nervous or self-defeating kind of way. Just skeptical, I guess.

a friend of mine, and past collaborator, was supposed to officially remix one of their tracks but never did, and I never understood why. it's a shame, I've loved what I heard.

aw dude, your stuff is rad and you know it. it's a great track. it'll go fine. and if not, just hit them over the head with some even awesomer stuff.
Today my kid asked to listen to some Mars Volta, I have done well
(For some reason he calls it Halloween music...maybe related to the fact that we have watched the nightmare before Christmas like a million times? One of life's mysteries)
Dust - I'm sorry, I have listened to it - I just have to get in the habit of coming here every day. I love the riff and the transitions between the verses, it's so catchy. So you've got a great hook, IMO, and it would sound amazing professionally-recorded.
It's what I started the listening session at the studio with, thinking that it was the best bit that I've got in my arsenal. And they liked it for sure, and I hope we get to work on it at some point.
But they picked out this song, of all of them:
crutches (01.15.17) (https://www.dropbox.com/s/xb5d0dc19uy37pe/crutches%20%2801.15.17%29.mp3?dl=0)
Apparently this one's pretty good, eh?
I dig it. But in all honesty, I like "Digging out" more. Something about the line like the lucky motherfuckers that the lord forgives. It makes me swoon. It will be cool to see what they do with it.
I mean, of course I like my own song, but it's so much softer than Digging Out. Hopefully I can do both. I should have the time for it.

Its definitely got potential. The arrangement is definitely a little sparse right now, some studio time could probably help flesh that out.
Indeed! The produced I'll be working with loved the main synth hook, and he wants to try running it through a bunch of different analog units to really blow up the sound.
I'm excited for it, man. That I have to wait another week kills me.

It's a cover group of younger girls. The Drummer is a bit out of place. But not too bad for an old dude. (It's Carey, the comments say it was a golf tournament and the girls were gonna play The Pot, so he asked to play drums for them.) Dude has a big grin on his face. Shit's great.

Ya, I saw a School of Rock vid as well with him on drums. I think the best thing is the people missing joking in the comments about the drummer not being that good/not keeping up ect. But ya, he is smiling in most the vid and looks like he is having a really good time. He really does seem like a legitimately hella cool dude.
Solange - A Seat at the Table
Moor Mother - Fetish Bones
Two albums on the theme of being a black woman in 2016, on the absolute opposite ends of the musical spectrum.
Solange's album is gorgeously sparse, with her melodic, airy vocals floating above warm but skeletal soul and R&B courtesy of Raphael Saadiq. (Her True EP pulled a similar trick for 80s pop with collaborator Blood Orange). It seems like the messages of songs like "Don't Touch My Hair," "F.U.B.U.," and "Cranes in the Sky" are powerful enough that they don't need to be shouted.
Conversely, Moor Mother's album is neither melodic nor spare. The reference points I'm hearing are first-wave industrial noise collage, Lydia-Lunch-style no-wave street horror narratives, and Dälek's industrial hip-hop re-imagined as slam poetry. (Though not a damn one of those is sited by Moor Mother herself, who instead nods to Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra, and riot grrl as influences).
Both are pretty great.
Anyone picked up the new DM album? Any good?
Don't judge me, but I love this.
Kaleida - Think (https://youtu.be/1CurN2Fg-2E)
We've been listening to s lot of pink Floyd lately. The 3 year old keeps requesting The Wall. I'm sure chim would approve ;)
My 2 year old keeps requesting a combination of BabyMetal and Backyardigans. I have weird kids.
The number 1 request around here is fred penner but eventually I tell him I am having a turn ;)
So new nin
Its tasty. Probably the best since YZ, with the exception of that annoyingly long deconstruction loop at the end of "The Background World".
I really like the background world 😂
Oh, I do too, but 7 minutes of the decaying loop is too much. 3 minutes, maybe 4, sure.
The new QOTSA is great! Really looking forward to new DFA next week
