blood orange

a lot of musicians do operate on synesthesiac level whether its really a condition or just an approach seeing the colors in music and so forth

it was less the sentence about having synesthesia (which even if untrue is obv essential the Dev Hynes mystique & ~feeling things~) than the sentence after where he describes the empire state building as being "a G major ninth” which, LOL bullshit

the man has feelings damn

Is there a secrete Vampre Weekend-Blood Orange connection??

obviously i agree that vw are zzz but blood orange should be no one's standard of rawness

i dont think vw are zzz tho just their new album and maybe like sort of their last album, blood orange is obvs p raw tho maybe not standard bearer levels

nothing raw about blood orange

sterile and vague maybe

lol at feeling strongly enough about him either way to be throwing up wanker signs tbh, it's just just kinda ambiguous referential apologetically-shuffling-off-this-mortal-coil slop for ppl too daunted by the world to find art in it

as much as i enjoy yr drip coffee approach to making any sense i dont really get either 'referential' or 'apologetic' from his stuff? i also actually haven't heard that much of it though. 'mewling' is probably the airily disapproving adjective of choice for me though, ~in dreams~

tbh i like/am interested in this dudes dbag art school guy moments more than anything else, partly because it seems so completely unapologetic

otm hes living life

blood orange sanpel is too sweet imo

all the sanpels are too sweet tbh :(

rip youth

Blood orange is supposed to be raw it's a frit

he describes the empire state building as being "a G major ninth”

i can get behind this

nice

or if you meant 'referential' in the sense that his musical progenitors are worn fairly transparently than sure, although how much of that is a condition of living rn is hard to parse, i made the grave mistake of trying to read the HAIM thread last night and it was like eleven hundred posts of critical muggers trying to outdo each other at bludgeoning those young women with forgotten 80s pop moments so i mean, you say you like prince a lot, might as well flaunt it or were in the 'how short was yr skirt that night, young lady' territory anyway

reminds me of "white cranberry" juice... no such thing as white cranberries, it's just a version of the juice with a ton more sugar pumped in

(i know there are such thing as blood oranges... but if anything they're more tart than the regs)

i've tried sanpel chinotto but i dont know if thats the same one

italian kids at my jr high used to drink a lot of brio chinotto, i always just assumed it was a weird italian coke

the fader article calls his look early 80s but its so obvs late 80s

san pellis arent good sodas theyre the spelt of bread cmon

What the heck at Sanpel Chino

That looks like some kind of Mountain Dew Code Red Xtreme rebranding

that is my favourite fake cyrillic drink

i need deej to explain why its ok to include that dev has synesthesia but its bullshit that the empire state building would be g maj 9th

xposts

reminds me of "white cranberry" juice... no such thing as white cranberries

lol i always thought this meant they just used unripened cranberries

let's not talk about music theory

Empire state building is this unyielding sheet of a very specific gray that definitely sets it apart from other NYC buildings

IMO

it's obviously d minor. Which is the saddest of all keys, I find.

skryabin >>>>>

dayo i think it would be appropriate for u to try chinotto next time you are in an italian cafe or food store

used to live with two dudes one of whom claimed to be synestheziac & the other thought he was full of shit & would constantly test him to see if his visuals were consistent

lol

jarritos or bust

you guys are making me google shit today

i really liked the solange song but then some friends of mine started liking it waaay too much and so i had to take it down a notch to compensate

Okay but only if the cafe or food store was run by an Actual Italian

""I don't like sanpel sodas they're too sweet"

"Here try some jarritos"

thread feels like it's on pause until r|t|c returns

Cranberries start white, then turn red when they ripen; white cranberries are just unripened cranberries.

blood orange is so not the best sanpel, stop fronting you hipsters

right but they're not a different variety (like blood oranges)

tried to listen to this this week but it just sounds like all bad hipster music of the last however long.

that's not v constructive i accept.

Can't believe ILM likes bad hipster music

I don't even know how to unpick that...
