I'm so glad I have grown up in the decades where recording techniques have improved. I don't have to listen to lo-Fi garage bullshit like The Strokes so I can make some lame comment like "Now THIS is the good stuff"

That was kind of the point of the article. The suggestion is that it's not normal for old people (people over 30) to be heavily invested in new music, and he tries to explain why.Six7Six7 wrote:kv wrote:Six7Six7 wrote:I only skimmed that because it was so damn long, but what I got from it was basically "I only listen to new music that sounds really old because my ears were conditioned to enjoy it back when music sounded like that"Hype wrote: SNIP

He literally said the only new music he likes is: The White Stripes, The Strokes, and The Black Keys.
That seems about right. My mom, e.g., "likes" the White Stripes (who aren't even new music, at this point. Their heyday is as far away from now as Bauhaus's heyday was from the year 2000), but she's not invested in them as a "sensibility" (which Jack White clearly spent a great deal of effort cultivating), and could take or leave them. Basically, they sound a lot like Led Zeppelin, so they're neat. But the songs don't have the same emotional connection as, say, In Through The Out Door. And why should they? It would be weird if they did.Most of us stop responding to new music because we know better. You can read that sentence and its last word any way you want; it’s still going to apply. But even if we don’t know better, per se, we still know just as good, and so we know enough to understand that it’s been done before, whatever this is we’re listening to. All of which is another way of saying: you lose your virginity only once.
This is only compounded by another factor, and it’s something I’ve never seen or heard mentioned in any discussion of this topic. It has to do with the callowness (perceived and real) of musicians younger than ourselves. As something that by its very nature appeals to our emotions, music requires that we be emotionally engaged. This can be a very difficult thing to achieve on behalf of someone who hasn’t endured as much of the world as we have.
Music requires that its consumer not just appreciate adroit execution but take ownership of a sensibility
I think it's not normal to write off music just because it doesn't sound EXACTLY like what you grew up on.

How does it feel to invalidate your entire point by ending it with an insult?Hype wrote:I'm pretty sure we covered that 10 pages ago. This article offers a much more interesting explanation for why most people don't chase music the way they did in their teens and twenties -- one that I think is at least partially right, and I think it's a good thing most people aren't lifestyle-chasers into middle-age. It starts to look pathetic. Liking some new music is, of course, not the same as spending the same amount of time as you did in your youth tying your identity to some band or other.
Of course, "The Panic Channel" was obviously different.

I just don't get how that LP Custom back there really isn't that nice of a Custom, Etty really is breaking this man. Also Taylor has a bunch of other stuff he works on when not being the second best drummer in the Foo Fighters so this might have something to do with one of those projects.creep wrote:Perry is doing something with Chris and that Foo Fighters guy. It does look like Perry is reading lyrics so it's probably just some cover for some benefit.
no, but that led me to this, which was pretty awesome, even though to me sally field = gidget.bman wrote:ever hear this Butthole Surfers Ocean size remix?
