Why don't people enjoy visual art as much as music?
Music is the most plebeian art form. It's very easy to digest. Even vidya is more challenging.

oh boy

Why the fuck are you even here?
What did he mean by this?
>>68390902
He meant there is no way for him to top Tom Waits, so he just gives up

Love that album
Thread for those who've been listening to music seriously for 5+ years and have advanced past /mu/core, top 40 and flavor of the month shit.
Don't be offended, this is not meant to be pretentious, its just some of us have moved past Pitchfork-approved music, viral marketed rap and the latest hyped single and have more developed tastes. Do not troll or derail the thread with off-topic discussion.
Without further adieu, I wish a warm welcome to my fellow melomaniacs. Here are some discussion points to get our thread started:
>What have you been listening to recently?
>What is your opinion on the current state of American and world music?
I listened to Trout Mask Replica today and I must say, I was blown away. A revolutionary work of art and, if I dare say so, one of the best albums ever made.
>Trout Mask Replica
>not /mu/core
>Muse wallpaper
not off to a great start anon
Why has this album been posted so much lately? It went from no discussion whatsoever to discussion everyday.

Just listened to Julius Eastman - Unjust Malaise, here are my first impressions:
Near the pinnacle of modern music, Eastman's repertoire is so unfairly glazed over in the overly white sophisticate as to make me sick, but to make such beautiful, inspiring works into mere political statements (though that they are, in part) would be to reduce one of the most amazing careers in music ever to nothing more than that of a typical Marxist activist, and that treatment may be a fate even worse than public ignorance.
The works on display here are titanic. "Stay on It" opens the set, and immediately, it is revealed that there is such a thing as a populist minimalist. But that is the name of the game for Eastman - a shatterer of preconceived notions, and one of the very few in the avant-garde to make John fucking Cage seem conservative by comparison (see: his outburst at Eastman's choice of material while performing one of his open-ended pieces that instructed the vocalist to "Give a lecture"). I could go on for days about how "If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?," though the worst of the set, far outstrips the careers of most modern composers entirely; how "The Holy Presence of Joan d'Arc" is a more "classical" approach for Eastman, and it succeeds endlessly; how his highly political "Nigger Trilogy" could easily be called the greatest triptych ever conceived in music; and how the "1, 2, 3, 4!" of "Evil Nigger" separates the most impactful bars of music I've yet heard.
But I won't.
What are some rumors and urban legends about musicians that you grew up believing or at least heard of? Any that were true?

I remember hearing that Ozzy bit the head off a bat and thought he was super badass for that, but it ended up being a fake one.
>>68390731
twist ending:
He thought he was biting head off of a fake one that someone had thrown on stage, but turns out it was real. He was surprised but just went with it.
>>68390731
>>68391203
That's like that story of Alice Cooper dismembering a live chicken on stage or whatever. But then, in an interview on Top Gear, he said the real story was that someone threw a live chicken on stage, and he didn't know what to do with it, so he threw it back into the crowd, where all the fans tore it apart, trying to get their hands on it

Seriously, what can you do in music if you're the son/daughter of a music legend? i mean, it doesn't matter if you do actually high quality music, to audiences, you will always be 'the son of..''. How can someone scape to that stigma? doing something completely different? I mean, Jason Bonham is now on a fucking Zeppelin tribute band. Also, Sean Lennon is doing that band with Les Claypool, is it worth listening, /mu/?
Jeff Buckley tho

This. You need to completely eclipse your parents as a musical genius so that you will no longer be "so and so's kid"
>>68390591
Liza Minnelli is the only person to have escaped that fate (if you can call her an artist or not).
>How can someone escape from that stigma?
1. Be raised with the idea of being your own person
2. Avoid your parent's songs or utilizing your parents' legacy outside of connections or thanking them
3. TMZ doesn't know you from a young age
4. Go for the gold. Do what your parents could not
5. Have a different name
> is it worth listening, /mu/?
No. He's sadly fallen into the image of the bastard child the media forced onto him.
I'm going to see mc ride and the grips by myself, I am 5'7 and underweight, how do I survive the night /mu/?

Is this still their best album or has it been outdone since?
I would say Exai beats it in complexity but Confield has the rhythm without sounding like the 90's.
My reply pasted from the Aphex Twin thread:
>>68387887 (OP)
I'm gonna say DrukQs. It's somehow the most consistent despite being the second longest.
All of his other LPs seem to have gaping weak spots.
>>68390281
>>68390157
>>68390374
Confield is my personal favorite album ever. For me it's the pure brilliance of sound design and attention to detail, not to mention consistency, variation and emotion. IMO it competes with LP5 for most emotional work.
So, I think it's still their best, although Elseq gave it a run for its money.
O V E R S T E P S
Exai and Confield are full of filler, while Oversteps is godtier
>>68390284
It's still their best, but I haven't kept up with their releases at all since ~2014. I don't see them getting much better in my absence though.
