Choon of the Day

[line b]

Define modern.

released something you liked in the past ...ten years

Does Dissensus like any modern rock acts?
I saw Black Midi awhile ago and it was exhilarating.

modern rock was not on the list of permissable musics you will note if you inspect it again

 

[luka]

these are the musics it is permissable to like

1.rap
2.r&b
3.dancehall
4.jungle from the years 93 and 94
5.uk garage from the late 90s

here's that list again if you missed it Limburger.

jesus christ that makes it infinitely worse, not better

whatever, man. For someone who grew up spending his afternoons reading pop criticism, and digging through records, it's exciting to see a band who can work in that frame and riff on the historybooks, on the strange identity of being a "cultural consumer" in the online era, with you. I assumed more people around this forum would feel similarly

 

[line b]

I like some Kurt Vile tunes.

me too, not sure Id go to bat for him though

 

[luka]

oh i forgot you are allowed to listen to grime from the years 02-04

 

[catalog]

how come you missed off grime from that list?

 

[catalog]

very telling that you forgot grime and privelegged america. the chickens are coming home to roost

 

[Corpsey]

Don't be discouraged suspendedreason

We assume there's thousands of lurkers pulling for us all either way

 

[luka]

and hardcore (the uk dance music) from the early 90s. you are allowed to listen to that sometimes.

the drummer from that band is amazing truly

You're getting into conceptronica territory when the focus is stuff like that rather than the music. It's too studied and self-aware. Drains it of something.

yeah, but I was never one for the libidinal, I'm more Apollonian than Dionysian at the end of the day

 

[Corpsey]

Aren't you into THOMAS FUCKING PYNCHON version?

 

[line b]

Its also become an increasingly unattractive position. We all know whats cool. We all know how to consume culture, thats easy. Whats tough is getting taken outside that

 

[catalog]

what does that mean? youre a fighter not a lover?

 

[sus]

I think it's an issue if the concept lives outside of the music, i.e. in interviews, in hifalutin gallery explainers. But if it lives inside the riffs, the lyrics, the stage shows, the costuming, etc

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

The point is that rock as a genre is in a retro stage, and this is an attempt to do something interesting within it

my dude, that has been the situation for decades, and people have been making reference to that fact for decades

I defend your right to like whatever you want but this garbage you're posting is not remotely interesting, I'm sorry

indie rock first becomes a category in the 80s, becomes self-referential in the 90s i.e., Pavement etc

the Strokes etc generation did an NYC-centric version 20 years ago, none of which was any good

you're posting the shadow of the fading bleached bones of a picked over carcass seen from afar by the faint light of a guttering candle

 

[sus]

The Strokes are all Dionysian, totally different category

 

[entertainment]

I like Richard Dawson, Anna Von Hausswolf, Crack Cloud

those are very indie artists I think
