Nah, I smiled :) Then I spent way too long trying to come up with a snappy retort. Then I gave up.

In politics, he resembles at times an amateur jazz musician — moody and improvisational, but without the technical chops to hold a piece together.

The real sign is that I got a promo thing the other day announcing a wholly new Gaz Coombes album.

Anyway, re Tune-yards:

Tried listening to this. It is Not For Me. I don't like her voice, the cheap electro/house music (ooh, a sudden burst of jarring noise! How "transgressive"!) is done better by randos on Spotify playlists I shuffle, and the lyrics are banal, half-baked slogans for critics to fixate on. The appropriation narrative is particularly dumb, because every country on Earth has dorks with laptops making music that sounds just like this. Really, this whole album seems like it was created with the goal of being interviewed on NPR. So, success?

That’s probably the only funny thing in this thread thank u deems for redeeming us

It's in the name hey

the title made me chuckle:

In 1640, Italian composer Pietro Della Valle published Della musica dell'età nostra che non è punto inferiore, anzi è migliore di quella dell'età passata, in English About the Music of our Time, which is not Worse but Better than that of Previous Ages

It's somehow doubly tragic to learn that he's apparently only a fan of the Angry Birds MOVIE.

Au contraire!

I didn't say it redeemed the movie, & I can't separate visuals from content either. But I would still recommend seeing this movie in a theater for the experience & bc I've been wayyyy off on predicting who would love it & who would hate it. I thought It was really shallow upon reflection, but it was a great movie theater experience - packed crowd in a huge auditorium on a Saturday night.

Back then he was just plain old Jonathan Thomas Longthorn from Kansas, out chopping logs in the Marysville sunshine, beads breaking across his forehead.
CHOP! Another one, then another one, and another one.
'You keep chopping them logs, boy, you'll go far' his daddy used to tell him.

My dad used to blame the slowness of the family computer on the assertion that my siblings were 'going deep' when they used it. Deep into what, it was never quite clear. The computer's files? The internet? At any rate, there were forbidden depths being plumbed which somehow contributed to a compromised experience for other users, and my dad was tired of it.

Fascinating to know Prince coined “Camille” as a tease to MJ. When you think of it, Cam-mille sounds like an inversion of Mi-cael and maybe the sped up voice was him thinking well if the high voice is all you’ve got, I can do that too.

I confess that I haven't heard all that much of their stuff but based on what I have heard, the Smashing Pumpkins' popularity might baffle me more than anything else in music. The music may be good but then the 'vocals' come in and to all my perception those are nothing more than utterly unpleasant croaking.

I like New Order's 'Get Ready' a lot but always hated their choice to feature Corgan on Turn My Way. He opens his mouth and the song is spoiled.
Bowie did that 50th birthday show with guest musicians, two songs with Corgan, same story: to my ears, it's a musical massacre. He doesn't add anything to the songs/show but detriment. For me, it was a struggle to listen to the songs with him.
And I've never been able to understand why so many people do like his stuff; why even someone like Bowie would invite him to 'sing' along on that special stage.
