PUMP PUMP PUMP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mcGJA7-HeM
this is the music I like and as always hear the pitch I'm playing poker I feel calmer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CaWw3-nXKM
hope you like my music, everyone has their own tastes hope to share theirs!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl7HAdw_JfQ
just.. wow
That is awesome!
I don't have any cool chillout music, but here's the best version of War Pigs ever:
the fact that you actually listened to and commented on what i posted makes me respect you in a unique way that transcends everyone else here. this forum has always felt like a self-reflective abyss to poop one's aural fixations into, without any hope for contact with sentient life forms. anyway you rock. speaking of rock, im listening to your war pigs now...
edit: nice! i don't usually listen to live stuff but that was awesome
Die Antwoord has made some friends. This is immediately my favorite music video of all times.
Dunno how many of you are into house, but
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPioLizQKuc
that was pretty good
but:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33uyeDpMBlY
^^ amazing house
very nice, it picks up sweet toward the end
yeah that last part is so dope. also great songs by bob moses: "i ain't gonna be the first to cry" "far from the tree" "grace"
die antwood look so much better than they sound.
You guys need more guitar in your lives. Hanni El Khatib is my favorite recent discovery.

And another because I apparently can't use two in one post.

hawk needs more blissful ambient in his life.
I checked it out. I'm not going to say I listened to the full hour, but I skipped around the whole thing for a few minutes to get a taste. That sounds good if I want background noise that I don't really want to focus on while working or something (hence the "ambient", I get it), but I prefer music that I'm actually going to pay attention to.Quote:

I suppose that's kind of the point to ambient music. It's great for poker, or for playing chess, for reading, or for a snooze. It's not great if you want to sing into the remote control, or dance like a twat, play air guitar, or listen to lyrics. Different music suits different moods.Quote:

I quite like that Hanni El Khatib song you posted. Sounds kinda like White Stripes meets John Spencer Blues Explosion, both bands I like a lot. Have some John Spencer, dude is awesome and probably right up your street.

@Hawk: That's rock-n-roll, not "guitar music".
To me, at least, guitar music has a guitarist with jaw-dropping skills, not a passionate singer who uses a guitar to drive the vocals.
Is good rock-n-roll, but too simple for my tastes. My expectation for more guitar work tainted my appreciation.
@Luco, Royal Blood was pretty solid, although it could have been a lot more ominous or creepy sounding, given the video.
@aubrey, I don't really get into house music, or any dance music. I have no dance moves, so my bias serves me well. :)
The violin/piano piece was absolutely frantic and didn't really take me anywhere. I kept trying to pin any imagery down to it, and I just felt like was some kind of frantic search. But kind of dark, too. I don't get it.
This is more me on the "classical" music scale:
Beethoven: Violin Romance no 2
Somebody post something with phenomenal drum work so that I can remember that drummers are musicians, too.
This page is lacking.
I'm down with Alice in Chains and Tool, and the Roots, so bring me something I'm not familiar with, please.
Prokofiev is difficult to listen to because he's working with an entirely different hierarchy of tones. His creativity is fucking off the charts, the musical modes of expression he found, the idioms he created... Dude is fucking unbelievable. He has expanded my capacity for music so greatly. It is not easy to get into, especially if you have no ear for atonality, but it's something you need to develop. If you have the capacity for classical music I think you should really try to get into him.
Here is Sonata 1, one of his earlier Sonatas, much more tonal but still evidence of his fucking alien intelligence. Check it out, tell me what you think.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APxweGUCqIs
The later sonatas are straight up like, prog rock. It's just like a completely different world of musical sounds. We're just so accustomed to traditional harmonies and psychological landscapes and this is so out of left field that it's jarring. But again, if you develop your ear for it, you'll find that it starts speaking to emotional nuances inside you in this radically different and fulfilling way.
This is the third movement of Sonata 8. You probably will not like it but it's the kind of thing that, if you dedicate time to developing your ear, you may find yourself incredibly moved by the paradigm shift in your experience of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mw0J67A8mM
As for amazing drum solo, this is one of the most incredible things I've ever witnessed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3yDealMJt4
Also, I love romantic classical music. I had to develop my ear for atonal over the years too. But you can hear the stirrings modern 20th century in composers like Liszt and even Chopin. Ever listen to Chopin's Ballades? I can definitely hear intimations of Prokofiev in there. Beethoven too. Beethoven is my favorite - I've idolized him and obsessed over his music since I was very young. His Late Quartets are also a little more dissonant and visceral, but they are one of the most important pieces of music ever composd.
Bartok is another crazy mother fucker. Dude straight up captured the gypsies. His music is more difficult than Prokofiev. You cannot listen to Bartok without devoting every iota of your attention to it.
Lastly... Tool is like, my favorite band of all time. I used to be a totally obsessed devotee, read everything and listened to everything and am still kind of a walking library of Tool knowledge. I'll try to find something for you on that front. Danny Carey is the fucking shit!
Prokofiev also is the embodiment of the scherzo. Whimsical, capricious, mocking, etc. His melodies and motifs are so remarkable and ferociously creative, the way he pushes melodies and harmonies and subverts them, the crazy twists and turns, the insane serpentine corridors of his melodies and rhythms. His sense of space, the conversational persistence. I've been indulging on him like a fiend lately, really, he's just been dripping out of my ears and mouth and eyes, like.. I am completely subsumed by this man's creative mind. I'm indoctrinating people into the religion of Prokofiev left and fucking right lately.
Drums!!!!!!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puQeNshO_XY
Man, regardless of skill a drum solo just can't hold me.
About 4.20 in this clip shows the drums from McFearless all put together. They're very unconventional.

Music I last listened to? Fucking Frou Frou. Correct yourself before you wreck yourself
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.
:heart: Ginger Baker
Also, Bonham LDO. Playing Guitar Hero: Metallica gave me a massive appreciation for Lars Ulrich too

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.
Jennifer Charles does a lot of featuring.

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

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.

Being violated means I liked it? What up with you guys? :?
Seriously, though: that style of sexy-jazz makes me uncomfortable. I'm a bit of a prude.
I'm listening to that Lovage song now, it's lovely. I'm a sucker for those beats and her voice.
Well I was listening to it until I FUCKING SUBMITTED THAT POST
I never learn.

I'm continuously astonished every time I listen to him. I could go on forever, I'm consciously stopping here.Quote:

(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:
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.Quote:
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.”
Anyway, yeah. Prokofiev=A+++
Ok so I'm listening to this Lovage album and it's produced by Kid Koala. No wonder it's so good.

I somehow managed to miss this throughout 2014.
And while we're at the subject of artists who would be better off with a bag over their head:
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.

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.
