NP: 2017 Edition

[rynne]

Good to see you, sir.

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.

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.

I originally broke that up to try and encourage more threads and discussion, instead of these supermassive meandering threads in a non-stop-state of hijack-ception.  But you fuckweasels just can't stop twatting up my intertubes, so here we are.  Enjoy.

This aggression will not stand, man!

[Goose]

I'm not your man, friend.

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.

They are never going to top the sticks but I like it,  the last few songs are a bit boring but overall pretty good

Are those related to shitgibbons?

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.

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" at 2:00.

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.

Dust - The Division Bell, really?    Even I don't listen to that and it's no secret I'll listen to just about any Floyd.

the only floyd i've ever truly dug was that first album and atom heart mother... but i am a weird one. :p

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)

[chimera]

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.

[Dust]

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)

Apparently this one's pretty good, eh?

[Aaron]

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.
