I don't get it. What about these bands?

It was more of a meta-commentary upon a certain set of music fans' style of reviews and kind of an in-joke about a mistaken identity. The obvious entendre and allusion to music criticism aside, I was saying something like, "I just don't know why you have confused Roy Harper with Michael Randle." Only I get any of this, though, and, so, why wouldn't you ask? I see too much in everything and wouldn't wonder too much about it all.

I thought that you were making meta-commentary about my play of that New Order song and, so, in turn, responded with some meta-commentary, but you probably just like The Eagles. It's all good, I guess.

I had no clue. :sweat:

As before, it's all good. I just mistook your appreciation for The Eagles as a hipster remark, which, given what limited encounters we have had, there was no reason for me to. I've just been around too many hipsters. Milling about in certain dancehalls will do that to you. Feel free to carry on, I guess.

Sure. Perhaps someone reading these posts might get it, so it's always worth a shot.

Anyway, carrying on:

Satisfy My Soul - Bob Marley

I just took your playing of "Hotel California" as a dig against New Order. I had thought that you were suggesting that I had chosen a mainstream independent Electronic track, typical of novice music critics who often confuse running drugs with any form of veritable left-wing ethos. Because I think that New Order was a great band, I felt the need to clarify that I don't either pretend to or harbor any delusions about running drugs and actually consider for myself to have a gift for counter-intelligence, a partial entendre of which is of a certain irony to my general life situation. You'd have to know a lot about my life and mind to really get what I was on about, aside from being well-versed in hipster discourse, and, as even engaging in conversation, if you will, as such was merely motivated by a mistake on my part, what I am suggesting is that there isn't too much of a reason for anyone to put too much thought into the above statement. I was just making kind of a lot of in-jokes because I thought that you were making an in-joke.

Anyways, my mistake. You are right to suggest that this thread should continue as normal.

Here's one by Jimmy Cliff.

:lol:

Damn man, I think statements such as those should be put in a novel, it's terrific. To be clear I'm laughing at what you are saying, not at you, I like the attitude.

I haven't heard nor know anything about New Order, but I'll be sure to check them out. I personally like a healthy range of musical genre's. Certain parts of rap, reggaetón and a good portion of modern pop music aren't to my tastes. But different strokes...

Criticizing art is problematic. You can certainly get highfalutin people thinking that anything after Mozart is crap. And sure, Mozart is very likely much more sophisticated than what I like, but a lot of it puts me to sleep. But then there's certain music that to me is like nails on a chalkboard.

Here's another, maybe you've heard of them:

Waterfall by Stones Roses:

The Stone Roses, especially their self-titled debut, is great!

Though kind of a hipster, myself, I've always had kind of an aversion to put people down because of their musical taste and tendency to be overly critical and denigrating of music in general. People often fail to uncover what potential kind of a lot of bands have by that account or acknowledge that just about everything sounds good in context. Medicine's Once More", for instance, could easily be characterized by its excessive use of the phaser pedal, typical of Space Rock, and not a kind of Shoegaze that is of aesthetic quality by that account. In my opinion, though, it sounds awesome.

Hmmm. Interesting. The song is strange to me, but it has a certain feeling which is familiar...

How about this:

The End of it All - John Tejada

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J72ImA38nE

Well, to tell the truth, that Medicine song is the sort of thing that sounds really good while exceptionally stoned. What I was moreso getting at is that the music community would be better off were people willing to admit that they do occasionally listen to music because it is enjoyable to do so and agree to that it ought to be kind of fun.

To use a more well-known example, The Who's "Baba O'Riley" is just a great song. As much as it can be kind of bothersome for a person to not have put more thought into the music that they listen to than to just simply believe that it sounds better when you play it louder, kicking back, cracking open an imported beer, turning up the volume, and letting it reign is just a good fucking time.

I'm actually not terribly into Electrionic music and so couldn't say either way with the song you have shared.

Sure, music is better when stoned. Almost everything is. And yes, Baba O'Reilly is great.

Cool. Just testing you out in exchange. It's weird when you first don't "click" with a sound genre, but eventually, somehow, you do. Dunno why.

It is with a bit of bitterness and a sigh of relief that I say that I was wrong about this album. It never gets old.
