| I've been getting into metal like Neurosis and Zeni Geva a ton again of late -- Through Silver in Blood absoutely deserves its reputation; I have no clue how I preferred Isis to this. Leaves me shaking like Relationship of Command era ATDI. I also went through a bunch of music on/adjacent to an old Japanese techno label called Syzygy -- Web - The EVA EP is wonderful, off-kilter stuff especially for the mid 90s and the only thing I'm bothering to link. Other than that, I listened to a bunch of Bladee and completely burned myself out on him (thankfully). I seem to be at an impasse with drone/ambient/whatever -- I guess everything pales next to Sahko 030. |

I've been getting into Pink Floyd a lot lately after my girlfriend recommended it to me. It's one of the first times I've gotten into an actual band, so it's a bit of a new experience for me.
Currently, Wish You Were Here is my favorite album of theirs, but I'm taking the time to listen to their entire discography. Coming from vaporwave, I appreciate how droning and experimental a lot of their work is. ____________________

Originally posted by Qnice! they were one of the first bands i got into as a band too (i think they're not an uncommon early band especially for kind of geeky/moody people), although in my case i was about 12. i still think WYWH is one of their best (both thematically and musically) but i think i like Animals and Meddle a little bit more -- Meddle cuz it's almost... film soundtrack-y and dense and textured, and Animals cuz it's kind of cathartic hearing Roger Waters address societal ills and the empathy-numbing of modern (capitalist) society so directly, and so angrily and bitterly Originally posted by hydra-calmoh damn nice. through silver in blood rules (still never heard ATDI, i'd like to change that at some point...) i'm continuing my sluggish pace at listening to new music lately... i listened to Flying Saucer Attack some -- their first album is good, their second album is... kind of boring. it's like they took their weird space rock/ambient/bongos/shoegaze thing and decided to take all of the worst shoegaze cliches and run with those and then throw in some folk. normally i think a lot of the RYM-ass derision towards shoegaze is overblown and dumb but in this case.. yeah their second album is pretty sedate i listened to pet sounds and with every subsequent listen i've found it more and more tolerable to the point where i think i actively liked it the last time i listened to it. i'm becoming a gay boomer ____________________ |

| There's also some interesting, louder FSA stuff on New Lands, if you have the inclination for more. I'd highly recommend going through ATDI's albums -- it's incredible music, and despite how...suspect a lot of TMV's lyrics are the writing on everything from like...1998-2000 is some of my favorite of any emo. Acrobatic Tenement has some beautiful moments too -- especially Skips on the Record/Paid Vacation Time. They were an incredible band live -- look up the shows in Celle and at Kona Lanes (and obviously that PA schoolhouse there are 50 billion reposts of) if you're interested in that. Sadly their worsening heroin/cocaine abuse is evident in a good few of the Relationship of Command-era shows, but there are exceptions and plenty from before that. Nothing of note to report on my end except some trashy UKG here and there. Hate being this busy... A friend did manage to get me a bit into Tim Hecker, whose music never engaged me much previously. Trade Winds, White Noise is pretty good. |

| Might fuck around and accidentally get back into Bob Dylan. Blonde On Blonde has always been my favorite album from him. |

| Gonna bother with links this time. Jefre Cantu-Ledesma's first album is quite a bit better than Shining Skull Breath. I especially love Feast of the Pentecost. ECCO2K - AAA POWERLINE is... well, I'll just toss it in here I guess. I don't think I could explain sensibly why I like it. I found a neat ATDI B-side I somehow missed in my 10 years of listening to them. Haunting, almost like Tremulant-era TMV in some ways. Lots of early Vatican Shadow again, set off by this Rafael Toral album's cover. Yemeni Commandos is a damn good EP. |

i don't know and i wish i did
sometime last year for some fucking reason i just started listening to music again and it just started clicking for me again like i could actually download new albums and listen to them and it just felt fun to experience new things but i think after my binge of listening to new things i'm back to where i was except worse, i don't think i *could* hear anything new or interesting even if i tried i guess lately i'm having to accept that maybe numbness towards new experiences and stagnation is just a thing that happens to people as they get older and this is how they become baby boomers i guess i def see it happening to people around me so it's just w/e to me now either that or severe clinical depression results in general emotional numbness and leaving it untreated is probably a bad idea but since my depression is resistant to any treatment i can afford it's whatever ____________________ |

Originally posted by Mistral For me it's about having some kind of experience to transmute with it, I think -- even something else fictional. I don't know of a good example I'm comfortable with sharing here, but hopefully it's clear what I mean... not that adult life gives too much meaningful to work with. I am pretty sympathetic toward what a lot of people would call self-indulgence here -- I don't think what music is "meant to say" matters all that much usually, but how it combines with what you're already experiencing. There are a lot of songs to me that are symbols of awful things I've experienced or am still experiencing -- having some kind of artificial structure and narrative to impose on them lets me convert them into some other form [I'd say tractable here but that makes it feel like the direct goal is some "outcome" in the real world, which is bullshit]. There's a lot of recent music I feel is about expression through almost ritual performance of things everyone involved knows are false in themselves... I have no idea if I got any of this across, and I hope it doesn't come across as self-important. It's just how I've dealt with things for 10+ years and why I'm scared of losing my appreciation for music (and art in general, honestly)... |

| I think people underrate the importance of stuff like this. I don't mind you venting about it at all. Morphogenesis - Solarisation. Relatively dense, atmospheric EAI. Not sure if I like this one or Stromatolites better yet. Bod - Recurrence of Infections. I didn't like this on first pass, but ended up obsessed with Infection Supplement over the past couple of days. Kevin Drumm - Second. This is probably one of the emptiest-sounding Kevin Drumm albums. We Both Liked the View is incredible. |

to be honest, i hit a point where i lost the spark for most music i hear. i know it's because i had one of the most emotionally intense years of my life, so i'm trying not to feel so bad about it. for the most part, i've stopped listening to music unless i'm around other people. i think there is some way we feel as 'music connosieurs' that we have to be listening to music all the time, that we must perform our love of music always or we don't love music. i think that's absolutely untrue. breaks are important in everything.
Originally posted by Rambly i love that album so much now, it's really grown on me. i find something i love about every track tbh. but i don't really want to get into the whole details about it ____________________

Originally posted by hydra-calm oh, i really like this... i completely agree. actually i think last year was a... richer year for me than this one, experientially, and having things to connect my music experiences with really helps keep it vital and fresh and real, you know? i feel more connected with the music i listen to if i let the sort of... emotional and aesthetic beats of the music to attach themselves to what's going on around me, or other things i like. i guess i really really adore transformative art, if that makes sense. like art whose meaning changes depending on how it interacts with other art, other experiences, etc etc. i think that's why impressionistic lyricism has been a big thing in popular music for most of the past 50 years -- i think when the shape of a song isn't necessarily given a hard definition it has the room to grow in ways you might not even expect. and a song's potency and relevance can last so much longer that way, too. there's other things, too... one thing that's never, ever made me like music more is music criticism. i've always, always found that it just detracts from the value of music because it expects music to be -- like i touched upon already, i guess -- this rigid, fixed thing, like some canonized album "works of art" kind of are (shit like the way people treat sgt peppers or even ok computer -- which, you know, is an album i like but a lot of the weird hyperbolic adulation of radiohead esp after the minidiscs leaked makes me super uncomfortable) that's why i think what sofi said is important too, and i think that's the problem with feeling like you shouldn't take breaks from music or you Don't Love It Anymore -- you don't give it the room to gestate or grow and root itself in you if you're constantly staring it down trying to figure out what it is you liked about it in the first place, i guess. you don't have to constantly be interacting with something for it to be a part of you, you know? i often take for granted that everything must have been amazing when i heard it for the first time, too, when that's actually just... not true if i'm being honest. growing up there was a lot of music i didn't even get or like at the time that i love now. i love in rainbows but the first time i heard it i thought it was stupid and radiohead had totally lost it. i love unwound but i actually dismissed all of their non-leaves music as "sonic youth aping cliches" at one point because it bored me. the first time i heard loveless it kind of just passed me by and i hated modest mouse the first time i heard them. like i just mentioned i used to actively hate pet sounds. sometimes the core of what music is takes time to reveal itself. sometimes the spark comes to you one day when you're listening to something for the millionth time, or it connects with something inside you, and you're like "oh." it's why it's hard for me to post in this thread sometimes -- i like the feeling of sharing things i'm enthusiastic about and finding out someone else likes x thing is always really exciting! but too often i find myself trying way too hard to describe why i like something in literal terms, getting all analytical about it, and it just exhausts me anyway my ultimate point is fuck robert christgau fuck pitchfork fuck rateyourmusic and SUPER fuck anthony fantano, lou reeed was right, robert christgau IS a toefucker, bye ____________________ |

midori – go biyōri
this song makes me feel sad for some reason. like the kind of desperate, aching sadness you get from screaming out as loud as you can but it doesn't resonate or even make noise. there's this weird feeling of dire finality to it and maybe that's where i am right now i prob cant link it cuz theres artsy titties on the album cover "aratamemashite, hajimemashite, midori desu." is a very good album also really enjoying: peaches – fuck the pain away (another song i can't link bc its lyrics are basically porn) (apparently this song influenced "15 step" by radiohead, which is hilarious to me) (but i love it, it's so trashy and horrible. she sounds like she doesn't give a shit about anything, which tbf, she probably doesn't. also the way she goes "huh... right..." awakens things in me. lesbian things) joanna newsom – sawdust and diamonds (another gorgeous-voiced female singer. this song also fucking breaks my heart) sufjan stevens – chicago (yes i'm listening to sufjan stevens again — i'm weirdly emotional over this song and the idea of breaking out of my shell and just... leaving home with someone. that youthful feeling you know? for a while i wasn't that into sufjan stevens because he seemed too head-y and intellectual or whatever to be genuinely emotional, but lately i'm just kinda like fuck that. he's good) the shins – when i goose-step (i love the shins they're so adorable. they're horrible they're dated 2000s hipster trash and i fucking hate james mercer's stupid head. i love them) ____________________ layout art by dennou usagi |

| Not a lot to say atm, but I'll list these anyways: -Mika Vainio - Kajo. I think what struck me most, other than the textural beauty of it, is how well he seems to know when to repeat a sound and when to leave something behind. -Mkwaju Ensemble - Ki-Motion. I forgot about this for ages, but realized I loved it again today. -Haruomi Hosono - Muji Original BGM. -Ghostride the Drift - Ghostride the Drift. Pulled this out again after removing some shitty hidden EQ settings on Rockbox and I'm struck by how palpable the sense of decay is. A lot of albums have tried for similar, but I think this pulls it off much better. The part 5-some minutes into A1 where it starting cutting out is dizzying. Wish people would try tricks like this more. There are a lot of "bad" rips of different tracks on Youtube I prefer to the original -- one of ESB - Terrium, which has a jarring skip every few seconds, and a very noisy rip of Vatican Shadow - Shadow War in Yemen in which one channel is almost completely fucked and blasting static. Also sadly a pile of random Bladee tracks -- Carwash (Die By the Sword) is going to be lodged in my head for at least a week. |
