General Music Discussion

I'm a hipster who hates hipsters - hell, I think I have a wide enough taste to skirt every classification.

No doubt about that. Hell with Naked City alone the two of us listen to a wider range of music genres than normal people.

Jayson, I found two Frisell discs at the library! Me=happy.

Awesome! Which ones?

[Frunobulax]

Yes yes yes! Throw in The Boredoms and OOIOO for me (shit, Jandek is seventeen genres at once as well). They had Blues Dream and Ghost Town - two of his I haven't heard yet.

You are in for a real treat! Blues Dream is phenomenal from top to bottom (especially the song "Ron Carter" which appeals greatly to a Miles fanatic like me) and Ghost Town stands out because it's a fully solo album. I love the bands/session groups that Frisell puts together, but there's something about hearing him all by himself that really illustrates just how amazing he is. Also, he covers a John McLaughlin song on that one, so that's a bonus.

[Frunobulax]

It has your seal of approval, and so I look forward to them.

[jayson]

They're both definitely in the upper echelon of Frisell albums for me. I look forward to hearing what you think as you get to know them.

Well, all you ultra cool hipsters can listen to your indie records and keep circle jerking.

Well, I'm listening to The Cure, so I'm crying during the great Circle Jerk.

Staring At The Sea is one of the pivotal albums of my childhood.

Brokencyde should DIE!!

[Frunobulax]

I hated them since they first came out. Sputnikmusic has a hilarious review of them.

[Seymour_Glass]

That review is the truth. I was doing one of the whole "ABC of artists", and we had to stop at B. I said the Beatles, he said Brokencyde. I proceeded directly to F, then U, then I left.

[Frunobulax]

What. The. FUCK?!? Why would you ever say Brokencyde to Beatles?!? You could go Bowie, Beefheart, Boris, a dozen other talented artists. But NOOOO he had to shit in your mouth and call it a sundae with Brokencyde? I would have just said that he lost all respect to me and walked away without ever getting angry. Or say Fugazi, Unearth.

In reality I just facepalmed and left the room.

[Frunobulax]

Facepalm is a suitable retort.

[Ruthful]

Went to see The Wolfetones last night. The funny thing is that I was the only person among my friends who was even remotely of irish ancestry. They sung about fifty songs about the IRA. Plus, "On the road again," which was-inexplicably-sung about an hour and a half before they finished.

I left before they were done, so theoretically, they could still be singing as we speak. They began about an hour after they were supposed to begin, yet I still left before they finished.

I think the lesson here is that no matter how kick-ass a concert is, you still get tired of music after a while, unless you're really into music. In that case, this doesn't apply.

This has yet to happen to me and hopefully, it never will.

[Brice]

I too have never tired of music. In fact it is almost mandatory that there be music playing.

[jayson]

it's always playing for me, even if just in my head, but more often than not, it's actually playing wherever i am.

also, i like that brice got in post #420. it just seems right.

[Brice]

I like that too...and I like that you noticed.

me neither
I'm a raging music addict and I dont plan on any sort of recovery, my headphones are constantly in or my boombox is playing

[Seymour_Glass]

Me too. I can't even imagine what life would be like if I didn't have all the music I listen to.

[Frunobulax]

I mainline bits and speedball notes and grooves. I think that as the largest addict (maybe next to Jayson), "Without music, life is a mistake." That sums them up.
