Schmaltzcore

“Strange how potent cheap music is.” ― Noel Coward

100%

this is the hardest of schmaltzcore. play it in a hard techno set at the right time and its bound to cause carnage on the dancefloor.

 

[bassbeyondreason]

This is even harder, although it does rely on "credible" gospel grit, unlike the Deni Lynn. Absolute wrist-slasher:

 

[catalog]

People listening to their parents' Steely Dan records ironically then realising they're actually really good.

= dean blunt:

IC: We never listened to it. I don't remember listening to Sade a lot.

DB: My mum played her a lot when I was a kid.

IC: Yeah, when I was a kid, my dad and mum... I remember that very well.

DB: I think I have a relation to it, I remember it a lot from when I was a kid. I really heard that shit a lot, her and Steely Dan, tons. Maybe I was like, missing my mum or something, I dunno. That's probably what it was. And it was like, I need to see Sade, because it was the dance in the video as well, I really liked her dancing. That was it, and it just comes from there. There's no real thought, as with most things. There's no prior thought about it, it's just like, 'we're going to do a cover of this track and it's somehow it's going to work, it's going to be alright' because it's our honest kind of interpretation of it at that time.

that's two strikes against dean blunt's mum.

 

[catalog]

leave his mum out of it, listen to this one and tell me you don't like it:

 

[thirdform]

just sounds like dub physix 9 years too late lol.

:crylarf:

 

[thirdform]

leave his mum out of it, listen to this one and tell me you don't like it:

Just admit it catalog he can't rap. that's fine, nothing wrong with that at all, loads of black people stateside are into techno and industrial and post-punk and shit, but why is our music press so obsessed with demarcating lines (mostly if not overwhelmingly by white journalists) who get to code the boundaries of what constitutes blackness and what doesn't?

 

[thirdform]

:crylarf:

is that you agreeing with me ironically or an ironic this crackpot doesn't know what he's talking about.

 

[version]

Neither. I quite like Dean Blunt, but that comparison seems like the perfect kind of thing to properly wind up a serious Dean Blunt fan and cracks me up.

 

[thirdform]

just learn to love rap catalog

 

[thirdform]

Neither. I quite like Dean Blunt, but that comparison seems like the perfect kind of thing to properly wind up a serious Dean Blunt fan and cracks me up.

well yeah if your ever so forward thinking 'make music critics salavate' music can't even match some fairly well known 2010s dnb then what does that say?

 

[thirdform]

also this hits 100x harder for paranoia. doom jazz

 

[thirdform]

Neither. I quite like Dean Blunt, but that comparison seems like the perfect kind of thing to properly wind up a serious Dean Blunt fan and cracks me up.

even better comparison is gun lean. a parody of what it wants to be.

 

[Woebot]

Are you genuinely not a fan or are you resisting liking it because it's lame?

i'm not invested in it at all. sometimes i feel like i'm too old to think any new music is good.

my gut tells me it's incredibly naff - but that may be knee-jerk hipsterism?

 

[Woebot]

[amazing lp actually]

 

[Woebot]

This is even harder, although it does rely on "credible" gospel grit, unlike the Deni Lynn.
