This is what I'm talking about

I think you're going at this at cross purposes. The point isn't about good/bad music as such, what's "better", it's about how a particular tune that might not be "good" can spin you out at the right moment.

It's one of the reasons that music spoke to kids I think - it embodied the textures of modern life, made playing a guitar just seem ridiculous.

@vimothy you should watch this. It nails what's kinda wrong with your picture of Russia. 6.30" - ".. the whole issue of trying to ascribe Russian motivations to some kind of theory of international relations is pretty damaging really for understanding what it is Russia thinks about the world and...

It makes me think about desire, how protean and uncontrollable that is. The way that can just spill out, wreck or immeasurable improve your night, your life.

I'm coming round to the basic thesis of this thread. I've found myself thinking about this record on a few occasions recently. There's something in the anonymity and cheesiness of it that makes me wonder if the basic premise isn't true. I don't think it's a virtuoso vocal performance, neither do...

There's a White Reggae thread on Waxidermy which is the most heinous collection of musical atrocities ever assembled.

I'd add I love his stuff but was a bit put off hearing him say once he doesn't like the sweeter, softer end of JA music which is a ridiculous thing to say. @thirdform what do you make of The Bug?

Yeah, totally. I know a few bits. I even fancied doing a mix of that sort of stuff at one time. In terms of reception, I think there's a difference between that more abrasive sound and dub which is black music proper. Third and Luka made a few comments in this thread which probably point to that...

Glad you like it dude! Let me know if the second half holds up!

It'll be a shame to see him die a natural death.

I like this dude's channel, Silicon Curtain.

I disagree - as i think I said upthread - it's possible (not likely) that democratic states warring (even by proxy) with the world's biggest destabilising influence will pay off in the long run, and be good for our democracies. I forget who said it but I read online words to the effect "you...

Always hated Jagerbombs, they taste disgusting. The only times they are ever drunk is when absolutely shitfaced obviously.

I have no thoughtful commentary to give, pretty ignorant with regards the details - just chiming in to say, I don't know what it is about this stuff but it's endlessly listenable.

The most sadboi rap I am aware of is Juice WRLD now deceased. I've only dipped in and out of his career so I have really no idea what is happening here but I feel in a way this justifies the whole thread

This is fantastic. What a great sound. I thinkk this would be my contribution to the sadboi funk canon: Private press from Chicago I think. One like one known copy.

could almost imagine this one as some kind of Eastern European gem reissued by Finders Keepers

On an 80s electro-soul ting Listen to that bass

Thanks for doing that dude.
