OT: The Semi-irregular Music Thread

[Dipsy Doodle]

Black One is probably my favorite. Monoliths & Dimensions is also pretty good. IDK for most people it's a matter of taste (or as I've been told, lack thereof lol). Definitely hard to digest sometimes if you're not into the genre.

Beauty.

How droney bad fever dream do you want your recommendation to be?

Throw me in the deep end. The most uncompromising stuff with no n00b concessions.

The aforementioned Black One and Monoliths & Dimensions are great. I really like White1 and White2, which are more sort of artsy fartsy drone with some elements of bad dream psychedelia thrown in.

The newest album Kanon is pretty good too. But if you want something more accessible, check out the collaboration they did with Boris called Altar.

Apropos of nothing other than the fact that prime JB makes up a good portion of my listening these days, here's a nasty bit of live James from '69:



His best-ever band, IMHO (just before the Bootsy era).

Late 60s J.B. is a goddamned human hurricane. A force of nature.

Thanks G.

De nada, mang.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Late 60s J.B. is a goddamned human hurricane. A force of nature.

Absolutely. And every instrument's stripped down to its barest rhythmic elements, making you want to move in 5 different directions at once. JB usually did.

**** melody, haha.

Damn, RIP Phife Dawg.

Damn, RIP Phife Dawg.

Really? He couldn't have been that old. Sad news.

 

[PennDanzig]

Really? He couldn't have been that old. Sad news.

Yeah, only 45 years old. Such a shame, Quest will always be one of my favorites. No official statement yet, but evidently he's had health problems for a while. He had a kidney transplant back in '08 and has been battling diabetes for quite some time.

Yeah, several outlets were reporting that it was complications from diabetes.

On an unrelated stoner/sludge note, caught these guys a few weeks back in Prague and they were tight. And the EP's pay-what-you-want, so y'know...

SunnO))) are great, especially Monoliths & Dimensions. Can't forget about Earth though, they pretty much started the whole drone-metal thing:



Also, let's not forget this 90's sludge classic:

hell yeah! definitely didn't forget about those two albums, lol. This will always be my favorite melvins song/record. RIFFFFFFF.

 

[PennDanzig]

A couple songs from records I'll be spinning this afternoon while working on freelance & watching the pens game. LGP & ALL HAIL THE RIFF.

 

[HandshakeLine]

The old Earth stuff is legend for a reason. But I quite like the new records they've been putting out- more psych than the old stuff, but it's still pretty brutal and glacial.

Speaking of dark and cinematic stuff, I had a dream recently where the Pens were playing this at Consol in order to spook the opposing team:

 

[tom_servo]

Phife, of course, gave us the line "I skate on your crew like Mario Lemieux."

[SidDidNothingWrong]

Just tuned my guitar to FACGCE and am playing around with American Football/Mineral licks in honor of my depression for the current state of this team.

Original version:

 

[tom_servo]

Thought this was gonna be Prince. How about Dirty Mind.

 

[DegenX]

Thought this was gonna be Prince. How about Dirty Mind.

Prince was the soundtrack of my high school years. Hearing that he died today really hits home on so many levels.

 

[pistolpete11]

It's been a tough year for musical legends and we're only in April.

I must admit, I never got into Prince's music so much, but mother****er could play the guitar...and was quite the showman.



...7th edit...totally nailed embedding a video.

 

[T1K]

The Fall of Troy just came out with a new album. It's pretty sweet. It's on their site for free.
