    So much great music came out of the Russian revolution. I got interrupted in the middle of both pieces. I will listen again and report back.

    That drum solo is great - legendary, even - but I can see why 1:30 was a splitting point. It was where I realized this is not an intellectual exercise in the slightest.

    @rong: Fast is not always good, but the lyrics on that song make up a ton of ground. I clicked on your side link and I think I'd have to listen to it a million times to pick out the subtlety he's doing on the last 2 beats of the main riff. I just think he limited himself too much by a lack of syncopation as he goes through it. It's really all about the exactly correct accent on every tap that makes a brilliant drummer. He seemed really focused on which drums / cymbals he was hitting, but not how hard to hit them. Nonetheless, the lyrics save it. So maybe the drums will make more sense later. Sometimes the trouble with truly brilliant subtlety is that it's so subtle.


    I really like the first 60 seconds of Jane's Addiction "Ted, Just Admit It". Really, the drums hold down the next 60 seconds, too, but there's enough other stuff going on at that point in the song that the drums become more static with only sporadic fills.

    It seems cliche to mention the solo in Dave Brubeck Quartet "Take Five". Really all the drum work on that album is subtle in just the right ways. Like, "Oh don't mind me, guys. I'm just playing in 6/8 for a bit. What's that? Yes, I know you guys are in 4/4. You think it's weird? No prob. I had 4/4 in my pocket all along."

    ***
    But how 'bout some of this?

    Damn that's a fine album for "house" music, if I do say so. Both Uninvisible and Combustication were my study themes when I needed to grind them text books.

    This is an austrian trio I like very much. Sometimes they are too much math, but I think this one is really enjoyable to listen to, until I try to figure it out, and then it's more of a chore. This walks a thin line between cerebral and groovy and does it very well imo.

    That singer. On the 2nd one (Strangers on a Train), she did something sexy on my ear... I am violated.

    I never fucking learn. So I have The Beatles playing from page 14, and before it's finished I go back to page 13, forgetting that it will stop the current song. EVERY FUCKING TIME.

    Have some drug music...

    ong I would love to see some of your dj setlists, your appreciation of that song says a lot.

    I've used grooveshark before to find songs and it's always served me well, so i made one: http://grooveshark.com/#!/fayesakell

    Oskar, have you used last.fm? if so would you recommend grooveshark over it?

    Most of the reggae dub and ska I played can be found somewhere in the Trojan box sets.

    Here's one of my favourites, if ska is on the menu then this is a must...

    This Prokofiev piece reminds me of myself. I mean, I'm nowhere as developed as this - not even close - but I write piano music heavy in chromaticism while keeping the melody driving most of the time, w/ rhythmic breaks and syncopation that floods the sheet with ties when I step outside of the main flow.

    I think I found a new friend.

    Seriously, though: that style of sexy-jazz makes me uncomfortable. I'm a bit of a prude.

    um MMM my heart just skipped a beat. As I believe I've mentioned earlier in this thread, I've engaged in a rather torrid love affair with Prokofiev this year, and he is the only composer that I put on the rank of Beethoven as all-consuming musical idol. I'm continuously astonished every time I listen to him. I could go on forever, I'm consciously stopping here.

    This song also reminds me of myself in terms of my identity. It's one of Prokofiev's earlier pieces (I believe he wrote it while attending conservatory) so he hasn't really figured out space yet. It also adheres to traditional harmony way more. (I mean check out Sonata 8, Movement III - it's straight up prog rock) It's an overwhelming torrent, constantly checking and agonizing over itself and like, goes into these insane rapid modulating fractals, it's fucking nuts. Anyway that resonates because I'm easily excitable and forget to breath, haha. I identify with him from a compositional standpoint too -- he's taught me a lot this year.

    A lot of people refer to Prokofiev as an atonal composer, but I don't think he was. He was the master at synergizing chromaticism and diatonicism.

    From this book:

    Unlike the atonalists, who seek to destroy the tonal foundations of music, Prokofiev consistently advocated clear-cut, functional harmony.

    “The construction of a composition on a tonal basis may be compared to building on rock, whereas construction without a tonal basis is like building on sand,” he maintained. “Tonal and diatonic music has much greater possibilities than music that is atonal and chromatic.”
    I'm reading this long ass dissertation by Deborah Rifkin called "A Theory of Motives for Prokofiev's Music." It's basically a dense music theory analysis of how Prokofiev's use of "wrong notes" actually participates in tonal coherence, rather than being anomalous to the structure. Let me know if you're interested, I'll send it to you. Prokofiev has posed a big problem for music analysts over the decades, and for a very long time, no one could offer any real compelling analysis of Prokofiev's startlingly original compositions. Not that I've been studying Prokofiev for years or anything, but Rifkin seems like the most accomplished person doing this level of analysis on Prokofiev.

    Anyway, yeah. Prokofiev=A+++

    haven't used last.fm in forever. There was a player for gnome that would scan your library, compare it to last.fm, search related tracks from your library and add them automatically. It was the best player ever, but it was a one man project and eventually stopped working, and that was the end of last.fm for me. - link for reference. grooveshark is the thing that comes closest to that. apparently you can scrobble grooveshark as well. should be the same as with spotify, only without the ads. For now anyway.

    Ok, so you herd some of my favorite musicians in vienna together, you even make a trailer for your dumbass concert, and then you send it out five hours before the concert. I'm friends with five of those idiots on facebook and this is the first I hear of this. AND YOU WONDER WHY THERE ARE SO MANY DRUMMER JOKES.

    https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v...type=2&theater

    They also got the date right, but not the day and misprinted Pamelia Kurstins name. How these people get an audience, I don't know.
    anyway... so much for music I won't listen to

    I listend to about a minute of that in the hope that me and spoon could perhaps connect in music, if nothing else.

    Alas, it's shit hop.

    Not all shit hop is shit though. Just most of it.



    That Bowie tune is weird. Not sure if I like it or not. Gonna have to come back to that one.

    been on a Rammstein binge over the last couple of days. Started by watching their Madison Square concert in full. I used to listen to Sehnsucht on loop when it came out in 97 and then forgot about them. But what a band.

    Adele. Not really my kind of music, but damn, she's amazing.

    Then Walk Off The Earth did a cover, and I was like...

    good week in music for me:
    discovered Stadium Arcadium by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. One of the best sounding albums I've ever heard. Found it's mixed by some Andrew Scheps guy. Looked him up, found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnrGMHhnqrw
    RHCP are releasing a new album. Die Antwoord just came out with a new video hours ago... new album soon.

    Chris Dave is fucking sick:
