    The Song Machine

    Here's the real question that I don't know if the book explains or not; why the Swedes?

    K-Punk

    Feels weird after all the ribbing to be somber, but yeah, a real shame. I have the Post-Punk: Then And Now book on my phone and today I flipped to his lecture on The Jam, having that sort of sensation of context draped over this now is quite the thing to weigh, morbid as that sounds. And as...

    The Song Machine

    Very much, and you know... When Bjork mentioned how her collaborators are always used to undermine her authority as a producer/artist and that such a thing never happens to Kanye West... It was kind of bullshit? I mean, in our Kanye thread alone people here and elsewhere mentioned how without...

    The Song Machine

    In general there's flaws with that book in how the producer as auteur is emphasized... It goes back to the old classic Shadow Morton / Phil Spector idea of the pop-svengali; legitimate in how those guys managed to personify a certain style of record they made, but forgets about the elements...

    The Song Machine

    IDK lads, a lot of those were bangers. The early MM wave of gentrified New Jack Swing has to be my prefered period but still.

    Road Rap

    It only takes someone as devoid of personality as Fekky to really enhance why 67 are so good despite regurgitating hashtags, because when you're the kind of person who is very blatantly pronouncing the # bit and not the word, you know they're trash.

    Road Rap

    American reactions to British rap is truly visceral. They're acting like its French.

    K-Punk and the Catholics

    Everyone needs a good burst of Zizekiest illogic on an internet community. Helps keep heart levels up.

    The Empowered Nerd.

    Re: Barty This is an ideal scenario Barty, but admittedly this scenario while not for the goal of coupling, still reads of using a woman for empowerment and assurance of self? I don't mean that in a negative or accusatory way to your intent in describing a way to help or what have you. Just...

    K-Punk and the Catholics

    It is 9:34 AM on a Sunday, and no church could lift my spirits and make me laugh as uproariously than looking at evidence of a middle-aged white UK Citizen unironically use the phrase "Amerikkkan" in a debate.

    what are you reading now?

    I just finished Beckett's Fizzles. Its another chapter in my continuing saga of really loving Beckett's texts that comprise of "FALL HARDER, FAIL BETTER, SLACK MORE STERNLY," etc. etc. and looking at all his plays and novels like "... Iiiiii'll get around to all that." Also read the Julian Cope...

    What would people 10 years ago think of music from today?

    Sentencing a bunch of romantic poets to listen to "Venus in Furs" 20 times in a row; Byron throws a fit. The ladies love it.

    Everything is so well produced now it's dull

    I have no idea what anyone's going out about in this thread, older music was fucking terrible for years people banged on soggy cardboard and called it a drum mix. Now you can actually hear a drum not a sopping noise. Giant fucking thread of "Life was simpler when we thought Grendel could eat our...
