bmags Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 QUOTE(Spiff @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 05:45 AM) 1) I read an article in AP about Ian Curtis's last days a few months ago. Really chilling stuff, comments from the band about how they didn't have any idea what was going on with him. I don't care if Joy Division/New Order gets a ton of pub, they spawned a whole (latent) generation of imitators. 2) Pelican - The fire in our throats will beckon the thaw = awesome album. i can listen to a song of pelican and be happy, but an entire album gets played out real quick... i don't think as many people would know joy division today if it wasn't for "imitators"...people who use them now most of the time just want to sound cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw Pelican about a year ago open for someone else at The Bottom Longue. Are they purely instrumental?? Where'd you find their latest record?

The Dears are ok, the guy does have a good voice. the only things that get on my nerves from CYHSY is they really are just like a compilation of a lot of bands mixed into one, which makes me worry if this abundance of good music in the scene is ending, or if this band was just very good at mixing a variety of influences. But songs like yellow country teeth with that opening twang bit of guitar and Heavy metal, the way he sings what ever happened to heavy metal in such a peculiar, and awesome way, it makes the songs. They aren't the most original band out there but they put out a damn good debut and thats worth the attention they recieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 11:21 PM) Man...I've been taking a beating around this place lately. You would think I deserved it or something because I was overly opinionated. at least its better than this story: this girl was at this lecture from a guest speaker who was a leading DJ in the field of 'sampling' and such...and the girl asked a question on where he'd found the samples or something to that accord, to which this speaker took offense ... (paraphrased) "What do you mean by sampled? If I were to take a field recording, and render the sounds completely different, and use it in my set, would it be sampling? If i were to take sounds from an artist and make them into a whole different tempo as to be unrecognizable, is that sampling? Besides, every artist 'samples'. Every noise created on a guitar, is inherently sampling from the inventor of the guitar, because with this instrument he also created every sound on it. So unless they create their own instrument, they are sampling his noises" This is of course complete bulls***...because YES, if he takes a field recording it is sampling because it was someone elses sounds, that they composed, and if he takes an artists beats, even changing them, he started off by 'sampling' someone elses notes. And Saying you have to invent an instrument to have the sounds be original is like saying i am sampling from apple because i'm using their machine to type... Sorry, a bit off topic but i hate soo many djs...(i would say all but i heart dj shadow, aphex twin and four tet(though he doesn't sample i don't think), and the go! team) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
