Chuck Klosterman on tUnE-YaRdS
and, in his own delightfully roundabout way, the fickle nature of Serious Music Fans.
Author and Punisher.
Wired article I meant to post about a dude who makes his own industrial/noise/doom metal with entirely homemade instruments using Arduino micro controllers. Sound terribly nerdy? Check the videos in the comments…
New Music 2012
Instead of doing year-end wrap-ups why don’t we talk about the new music we’re listening to as soon as we hear about?
Top 25 Best Albums of 2011
Sooooo I’m more than a bit late on this, but yeah. I’d like to blame it on the new kid, but really, I have only the recent influx of new XBox games to blame (Skyrim, Batman, Saint’s Row). Anyway, read more for my Best Of list. Agreeing/disagreeing/countering encouraged.
Remastered Classic Albums
Yay or nay?
What.cd, a great music torrent site, has just about every version of every classic album ever. So I’m often torn about what to download — do I go for the original pressing to capture that classic sound? Or do I opt for the remaster that takes advantage of newer digital technologies and is optimized for digital mediums? Is something lost or is it all gain (/jokesformusicnerds)? Or is it really a case-by-base basis, wherein some albums are remastered poorly, and others really benefit from the process?
Real Estate - It's Real.
I know I got shit for loving this band a year or two ago, but if you don’t absolutely love this song, there’s something wrong in your brain.
Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke team up with MF Doom.
Exciting, but it leaves me wondering why Greenwood would team up with such a raging homophobe.
Stone Roses Reunion
So what is the general concensus on this…or are you lot all of the wrong age and only me and t’other Kev even knew. Personally I am a little underwhelmed and pretty disappointed.
Bjork's Biophilia
I’ve been wanting to write about this album since it came out but I’ve had a difficult time not just in trying to describe the music, but to figure out just what it is I’m hearing. It’s really something else. Hauntingly sparse interludes broken by violent passages of drum n’ bass noise, ambient drones and chanting giving way to fits of beautiful harmony; if anything it’s an exercise in musical dichotomies. And it works. It really works.
because you are all modern up to date kids
does anyone know anything about this girl, is she legit?, I have just been toild she is a fake…seems like a lot of hard work for a scam.
Been Caught Sucking
Who even let them release this pile of crap This maybe the worst song AND video I have seen this year….and that includes ’Friday"
My new fave Tiny Desk Concert
King Creosote, one of the best lyricists I have ever heard plays with Jon Hopkins and does not disappoint…very low key
Steve Reich talks about his new piece focusing on 9/11.
Listened to this a few times since it came out and it really is a fantastic piece of music.
Let's see, what have we missed...
Read more for a whole shit ton of links and topics that may or may not have been posted had the site existed for the past month.
