Whats playing on your system today?
Deadmau5...but my listening is all over the board...Laurie Anderson...Dire Straits...Nine Inch Nails...Martyn Bennett...Aphex Twin...Roxy Music....Nilsson...Little Feat...The Art of Noise....Randy Newman...Fred Neil...Blue Rodeo....Stabbing Westward...The Tubes...things you'd recognize...things you won't.... One hit wonders...remixes of a single selection, just for 'comparison's sake' (Sneaker Pimps' "6 Underground" is a good example)...LOUD...soft...complex...simple... Sorry, not much in the way of 'dead white Europeans', although it's appreciated that all stands upon their shoulders. But I/we do go to the symphony when something of interest is on the bill. That's always better 'live', as was always intended for the form.... I like variety in my diet. ;) |
nutty, re Deadmau5.."I Remember" is one of my favs...softer, but all of his skill at harmonic manipulation in play. Check out his live concerts on YT for what 'stage craft' has become. If 'light shows' like that had been around in the '60's, some of us would still be slack-jawed. *L* And the shows 'explain' his constant and consistent rhythm as a segway theme. EDM and 'house' are subject to disdain and rightly so, but he's one of the better artists (yeah, I'll allow that claim) at it. But I've been accused of bain gramage and being enraged in sonically antisocial proclivities so I could be dis'd as being 'not mutual' or a 'deformed source' of misinformation....;) |
OK, y'all...memory lane.... Peter Murphy, "Cuts You Up" (Yup...every time) The Smiths, "How Soon Is Now?" (Was yesterday soon enough?) Spooky Tooth, "Waitin' For The Wind" (Gotta love the Hammond hammer...) Public Image Ltd., "Rise" (Cranky?....Yezz...) Mink DeVille, "Spanish Stroll" (Zoot suite..) The Smithereens, "Strangers When We Meet" (Now and forever...) The Waitresses, "Jimmy Tomorrow" (...and I'm allergic to civilization...) Fred Neil, "The Other Side of This Life"; Jefferson Airplane, ditto..just for contrast, y'understand...;) Blodwyn Pig, "Dear Jill" (Slidin' into heaven...) Blue Rodeo, "What Is This Love" (This is a great one for dusting off the woofers, BTB...) |
(...coming to you nearly Live from [DELETED].....) *audience applause, whistles, shouts.....fades...* (...the Host....which sounds like a highly distorted spoof of a character only referred to as 'PotUs-aka-DrunkUnk'...) "Presenting the AG Award for the...". *pause.....the rustle of papers* "....'Longest Running Forum/Contemporary Music Appreciation/Addition Enabling/Non-Violent Participation'......KidRock! " *The audience Explodes....laughing, screaming, beating on the seats, each other..one individual falls from a balcony, but unhurt...physically....* *KR appears onstage in an electric wheelchair...* "....Uhhmmata....ehaha....{Expletive}... {Expletive}....{Expletive} ......" *and rolls into the orchestra pit....* *The screen goes immediatel*TECHNICAL DIFFI-CULT-EZ PLEAZ*pfht https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDiMoJYh7g BTW...Happy New '18, y'all....;)....and remember...You asked, "What are you playing?"
