Joanna Newsom --- "Ys"

[william_kent]

but @suspended, your review was amazing, might have persuaded me to give Newsom a listen, but the problem is I'd already heard "Ys"

Alice Coltrane - Blue Nile

this is cosmic.. not twee

 

[william_kent]

but I fucking hate Kate Bush, Bjork, and all that stuff, so Newsom is never going to click with me

it's a "timbre" thing

no offence, I'm not knocking your taste

great piece of writing though - keep it up - just I'm locked into a different energy than you, doesn't mean my taste is any better than yours, everyone likes what they like

Do I think that most people who get the opportunity to be classically trained as harpists, in childhood, come from backgrounds of incredible privilege? Without a doubt.

Do I also think some of history's greatest poets were born into incredibly wealthy families? Without question.

Mate, it's called ribbing! Like I said in page 21-22, I know plenty of black and brown indie fans, I've grown up in a very multiracial city. I do not believe that indie is white supremacist whatsoever, I think it is mostly culturally white but that doesn't equate to racism, if we did that synthpop, european classical would have to be tarred with the same brush, an argument ive never made.

Similarly luke is ribbing you when he calls the beach boys music for pedos.

It's this californian earnestness we want to smack out of you, we want you to understand British sarcasm, the way we express affection through contempt. It might be grooming but that's how this whole country is, given we don't have permission to legally carry guns.

We're trying to change that here, y'see. But when US liberals want to ban guns we start to despair.

london is a very gay city. People say that for Brighton, but Brighton is nonce central really. What can be more erotic than telling your best mate after 5 pints that you're going to shank him in front of his mum?

Joe Henderson - Earth

down to Earth orientalism

[william_kent]

I was thinking of starting a thread where we try and groom @suspended using "gateway" tunes - start him off on some Terry Callier and then work him up to some full on Junglist Amen breaks

Instead of protesting or defending I will only give laugh reacts from here on out

Know and love this record!

It's fantastic! Write a review! I'd love to read what you have to say

harp & strings done properly


Dorothy Ashby - Soul Vibrations

Like a spaceship soaring into cosmos , not like Newsom's twin seater which crashes on takeoff

no incredible privilege on display here

Thank you! This is a very exciting discovery

Know and love Alice, her early 70s is so insanely fecund and fertile

Ok I'll listen more and see if I can come up with a thesis I'm honored you like my Ys takes, many of them have been simmering for years but I never bothered to put them together into a coherent statement of defense

 

[william_kent]

Good music writing should make you want to listen to the record being discussed, and you would have done that if I hadn't already had an adverse reaction based on my own prejudices

bizarre post what's the point of writing about music if not to hammer home the supremacy of your own taste? merry xmas all

Happy Christmas @woops

its christmas for christ sakes third

I don't recognise it as a legitimate day of rest.

I'm much, much more non-religious than the liberal degenerated muslims who celebrate christmas. My life is bathed in sin, vice and foulness. Yet I agree with the fundamentalists on this. Stop trying to create a mixed pickle.
