Random Music Talk LXXIX: A Tradition Like Many Others

[IWasBored]

I'd listen to an album by our JT before I listened to one by that JT.

3. Why is Tyler the Creator famous?

Odd Future were very, very good at creating internet hype. Plus watch the video for Yonkers.

The 20/20 Experience should have its own thread. Especially as there's a part 2 coming later this year.

Anyway, great stuff. Am I the only one who sees a similarity to Marvin Gaye's Here, My Dear? That was about divorce and JT's album seem inspired by his recent nuptuals, but both have very long songs compared to standard R&B format, and they also both have songs about space.

A stretch?

I don't know that Marvin Gaye record well enough to comment, but right now any musical comparison between JT and MG works for me.

^I love those. They always look like they're having a fucking blast.

Did there ever end up being a shortened/listenable/non-pretentious/non-self indulgent/only-the-good-first-bit remix of soofaloof's Impossible Soul?

Music? What?

Court Sides With Record Label, Woman Fined $222,000 for 24 Downloads | Music Feeds

You can have whatever opinion you like on illegal downloading. But fining a poor woman $222k for 24 downloads? That's a fucking disgrace.

Wow, people are still using Kazaa despite years and years of warning? Not surprised this happened. Might as well have shoplifted a couple of albums.

This.

I attempted to listen to a song because of the hype. It sounded like everything else you hear on the radio.

 

[joyfulgirl]

That's sorta like saying Bruce Springsteen sounds like Bon Jovi. But it's okay, I would never in a million years expect either of you to like JT.

The alleged infringement took place in 2005. Says something about our legal system that it's still in litigation.

I don't think the RIAA has filed a new infringement case against an individual in a few years, because like in this case they spend more than they will ever collect and it doesn't appear to discourage downloading.

[joyfulgirl]

Well, it's true. If you don't like a whole genre of music, it will all sound the same. I like classical music okay, but I don't really have an ear for which recordings are best. My parents were classical music freaks but anything that had electric guitars all sounded the same to them.

Yeah, this drink smelled weird, but the blueberries and banana saved the day. I

Classical music teamed up with the Kale Killer.

Looks like Lollapalooza will have the exact same headliners - with the exception of The Killers instead of The Cure - as Osheaga in Montreal. That's not a total surprise, as they're both the same weekend.

[LemonMelon]

Greg Kot said on his Twitter that there are still a few headliners left that he didn't leak, so Cure hope lives on.

I'm going to save my Lolla ranting for the Lolla thread at this point, but consider me unimpressed.


In other news, my headphone cable is all jacked up (pun not intended). I can't decide if I should just replace it, or risk the change that Skullcandy will honor the lifetime warranty and replace it themselves. I say this because, I could just plug an input cable into it for like $10, but I have to pay to ship them my headphones for them to determine if there's a problem, and then if there isn't one they'll fix, I'm going to have to buy the new input cable anyways and I'm out the money I spent to send them the headphones in the first place.

This thread is quiet since the Justin Timberlake thread opened. What the fuck has happened to you guys? You used to be cool

 

[bono_212]

I miss us.

Everything I listened to today has its own thread.

EDIT: Oh, expect CHVRCHES. I like the new single, "Recover." EP out next week.

 

[bono_212]

Fuck yes.

I have no idea what they sound like. I just love their name so much.

 

[Imperor]

Saw them twice during SX. They were rad.

 

[Danny Boy]

Fuck yes.

I have no idea what they sound like. I just love their name so much.

All three of their singles have been aces.

You can download the new one here:

The other two are on SoundCloud; "Lies" and "The Mother We Share."

Anyone heard the Youth Lagoon record? Much like the two Grizzly Bear albums I've heard (not in sound though obviously) the tracks I like I really love, but I can take or leave the rest.

Two great, great tracks:

Youth Lagoon - Dropla - YouTube

Youth Lagoon - Mute - YouTube

And here's a new track from The Juan Maclean ft. Nancy Whang. For those into minimalist house, it's incredible. The Juan Maclean "You Are My Destiny" on Vimeo

Big ups to Tame Impala for dropping "Elephant" in a Blackberry ad. McLaz, you got anything to say to this prick?
