whats a a John Philip Sousa cover band?

The Batlord · 01-20-2019, 04:33 AM

Any high school band ever probably.

dharma ok cool!
seriously i also think that a little music theory wont harm anyone and its not going to destroy your talent or creational self or whatever. in many cases it will also save you time from doing useless-already tried-experiments.
thats mostly impressions that i got talkin with friends and occasionally friend's friends who play music, i dont have a personal experience.

Music theory is dope as hell if you use it as a guideline but the issue with American school band teaching is that it's presented as law.

listened to 2 of the aforementioned albums.....

so i ve heard the mid-air thief album. i wouldnt give it a 2nd listen if you didnt say it was yr absolute favorite of the year. i dont think its bad but i think its not worth mentioning..

i also tried another neko case's album, furnace room lullaby. not really interested. too something, i dunno. i d call it too southern but i guess that doesnt mean anything to anyone exept... well me. also dont like her voice that much.

Her voice and that Southern twang and atmosphere is exactly two of the things I love about her early albums!

But yeah, I'd say don't bother with more Neko Case.

You watch Westerns and you don't like Americana? Arbitrary pleb.

The Batlord · 01-22-2019, 01:43 PM

But you're all like "They're the modern folktales" or whatever like country and Americana aren't.

Also, dismissing Neko Case as merely "americana" is kinda not very meaningful.
