  • Dubstep is just as much a recycled genre/subgenre as anything else?

    If you're after something new to your ears it really shouldn't fit neatly into any genre, right?

    Listen to OPN's R Plus Seven. Electronic in its production, yes. But it's got a ton of orchestral structure/texture to it...on top of chopped vocal samples.

    Or how about some Floating Points? Again, electronic for sure. But there's definitely a fluency in the conversation between electronic dance and jazz that wasn't there a few decades ago.

    Murlo

    Photay. Seriously who was doing lush layered multi instrument compositions like this over electronic music pre-2000 not named Bjork?

    All leap from genre to genre effortlessly enough while also having a ton of electronics sensibilities. Maybe it's recycling genres, but I think in some instances mastery in disparate areas leads to a greater sum than the parts.

    Rat Heart outta Manchester has been my repeat lately. Whole album Dancin' In The Streets is great if you're after something down tempo and not super up beat. Flute haters need not apply

  • What's the coolest performance you've ever seen?

    Jump

  • Front row at Bonnaroo to see Sigur Ros. Hung out at the front of the stage for five hours with some nice strangers and saw an incredible performance. I haven't been to Bonnaroo in awhile but the atmosphere of the other festival goers makes the event. The openness to strangers and general kindness at what should be a miserable packed event will always stick with me. Go if you can. It's one thing I'll perpetually entertain going to as long as they have it each year.

    After that, found out Kanye still hadn't taken his stage. Totally had planned on missing him for Sigur Ros. Fell asleep waiting for him to take stage and walked back to camp at 4am. Crazy it's almost 20 years ago.

  • Was endorsed by the oil and gas industries, is now a calamity for them

  • The only true calamity for these industries would be losing ownership of their wells. Or us making a few iterative leaps in energy storage in a short amount of time.

  • The actual self quote is so much worse than the headline

    “I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be,” he wrote, reportedly reflecting on strained relationships with his brother Douglas Kennedy and cousin Bobby Shriver. “My kids waited patiently in the car.”

  • What is the fantasy book/series everyone should read?

  • Much more bleak. Erikson has more in the way of heroics in the face of the bleak. Bakker you get more of human flaws ushering in doom. It has a similar sense of scale, the world building is top notch. But the passage of time and intelligence are much less forgiving in Bakker's world.

    I've done numerous rereads of Malazan, none for Bakker. Though it's just as deserving, if not more so. It's just... a lot less uplifting.

  • R Scott Bakker kinda scratches a similar itch, though it's much more bleak.

  • Malazan, Malazan, Malazan. Literally the result of two bored archaeologists and their DnD campaign while they were out on a dig.

    It hangs with the best in terms of humor, tragedy, epic scope, and heroism. It does not hold your hand, in fact it will delight in letting your hand go while leading you through a dark room. Deeply philosophical, challenges and embraces tropes in equal part, absolutely interesting magic system(s). It is hardcore hopecore, it champions the little guy, empathy, and the bright mind over the slow. Main series is finished, 10 giant books. Also a bunch of others outside that series by both creators.

    Be patient with it, some payoffs take a while. Read Gardens of the Moon and then Deadhouse Gates to see if it's clicking. It isn't for all.
