I'll be damned if they don't have the MBV thing down to the letter. Not an original bone in their bodies but absolutely fantastic at what they do.

This band does remind me of Dinosaur Jr and MBV at times, at least on this track, I guess. If you don't think so I will settle to agree to disagree.

What I gather from the comment section from pippygrape the date in the title is misleading, it's a 1981 recording. It kinda reminds me of Daydream Nation in its embryonic stage.

Well, I think Noosefiller has a very appealing mix of pretentiousness and humility. Pretentious enough to dare for enough novelty to illicit one's attention but humble enough to stay true to a genre potential fans have already come to love. I think Frown described it as black metal- I'm thinking more avant-garde metal but I know musicians often hate labels.

Of course, I'm going to take your music more seriously than your online persona here.

I'm embarrassed to admit it but I haven't read Foucault. Can you run the cliff notes by me or link me to a manageable summary of what you're talking about?

Yes the 80s were the MOST DESTRUCTIVE DECADE EVER

Do you think that makes it too ambiguous to directly challenge?

It would be for anyone I know irl but I think you're easily up to the task. **** man, I've been reading your take on music for some while now. You have a firm grasp on what's important in these time frames. Stian Westerhus and Colin Stetson are probably the two most apropos musicians I can think of for this introspection.

It might not be so much a decline in innovation, but a dissipation of what people are being innovative in the face of. Not to mention that people can more easily discover a niche that their ideas fit into with the change in the spread of information. Before people could invent punk on opposite ends of the world and never know about each other. The way music distribution and listening is evolving, it's becoming easier to find your audience, which becomes more informed on similar artists to your sound as it grows. It goes the other way you influencing your contemporaries. Maybe that can contribute to creating prejudices of genre conventions in musicians where they simply would have been ignorant of them before. Two way street it looks like.

Excellent points. At my age that's a huge paradigm shift compared to what I grew up on.

You're an anarchist and an atheist, right? We have that much in common even if there's very little commonality in how we define these labels. I'm not not saying our definitions are different or similar I'm simply trying avoid offense through assumption.

But where I'm headed is how can you be cool with any ideology that demands the most extreme hierarchical submission there is to something that has no possibility of even being real. If that's not an anarchist atheist **** that I've never known one.

I do think rock'n'roll died in the 80s. Bands like Sonic Youth, Big Black, Butthole Surfers, and Swans made it a very beautiful and exciting death indeed.

Avant garde and industrial black metal

my new album is next level pretentious. Or at least the way I describe it is

Mondo Bungle · 06-06-2017, 10:48 PM
