Oh shit, you're a Radiohead fan?

Oh Shit. Are you a Radiohead fan?

 

[Brother None]

No, but I do listen to their music.

Better than Coldplay by a mile, in any case.

 

[John Uskglass]

That is kind of weird. I could really see you getting into their post-Bends stuff. Especially some of the crazier stuff on Kid A.

And it's probably the most pretentious band in the world. That can't be anything but a plus for you.

And saying something is better then Coldpay is not that much different then saying something is better then being raped up the ass by giant boars.

They're pretentious? I was unaware, I only listen to their music, you see.

I hate pretentious bands and have never once let a band's obscurity or pretentiousness get in the way of how much I like them. Or any hype surrounding them.

I liked OK Computer, I liked the Bends, I haven't really listened to anything else by them. Maybe I should.

Maybe not.

I'm most often listening to Russian music now anyway. To practise my ear, mostly, since the music itself is pretty bad.

And still 70's, 80's rock for me when not listening to the above. Nothing from Black Eyed Peas to Farrell to the Artic Monkeys to the Scissor Sisters to Coldplay has been able to hold my attention and current jazz just annoys me, so hell...

 

[John Uskglass]

Hope you recognize my sig....

You really might like some of thier stuff though. If you liked The Bends I am willing to bet you would like Hail to the Thief, though I have no idea what you would think of Kid A or Amnesiac. Idoteque and The National Anthem are both great songs, might want to check them out at least.

Russian music? Ugh. After Prokofiev, no thanks. I won't even jerk off to Tatu.

What kind of 70's and 80's? Clash, Joy Division, The Pogues, etc?

I didn't like the Bends as much as I did OK Computer.

Missing a world of bad pop-rock and rap, dude. Leningrad is just funny, their lyrics sure learn one a lot of foul worlds.

Also, Shostakovich was after Prokofiev. Ass.

What kind of 70's and 80's? Clash, Joy Division, The Pogues, etc?

No, not at all. More 60's and 70's, come to think of it, the 80's were pretty bad.

 

[John Uskglass]

Let Down?

Damn right. My favorite song. Also have the brilliant piano cover by Christopher O'Riley.

I didn't like the Bends as much as I did OK Computer.

Well, that works out, as Hail to the Thief is probably more like OK Computer. I just said The Bends as a lot of people have very strong (negative and positive) feelings about OK Computer.

No, not at all. More 60's and 70's, come to think of it, the 80's were pretty bad.

Who then? I could kind of see you listening to The Velvet Underground.

Also, Shostakovich was after Prokofiev. Ass.

Fair enough.

Really? I was not aware.

Velvet Underground? Hell no. All your guesses have been off by a mile, Johnny.

What do I listen to, though? Lemme go over a part of my CD collection, which contains what I play more often than other stuff (because to get into that...); Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Frank Zappa, CSNY, U2, the Who, the Doobie Brothers, the Rolling Stones, Simon & Garfunkel, Rush, Santana, Queen, Bob Dylan, Dream Theater, Eric Clapton, the Doors.

That's just containing mostly 70's/80's, which ignores classical (Khatschaturian, Saint-Saëns, Andreiewitsch, Wolf-Ferarri, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Dukas, Grieg, Borodin, Händel, Liszt, Bartók, Mahler, Bach, Mussorgsky, Glinka, Puccini, Bernstein, Prokofiev, Haydn, Rachmaninov, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rubinstein, Paganini, Sibelius, Tschaikowsky, Verdi, Debussy, Wagner, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Brahms, Dvorcak, to name a few), Metal (Sepultura, All Out War, Death, Sect, Metallica, whatever), pop, music from the 50's, and whatever else gets in my way, such as Mandy Patinkin's Mamaloshen.

Fair enough.

I can't imagine you listening to Shostakovich, though

I can hardly imagine anyone listening to him. I only do occasionally.

[John Uskglass]

I actually meant OK Computer. A lot of people love it, a lot of people hate it and view it as the CD with which Radiohead went crazy.

Bolded the ones I really liked, italicized the ones I like. Bob Dyland gets italicized only because I don't have that much of his.

Weird. Would have thought of you as a lot more of a Sonic Youth, VU, maybe some Krautrock kind of a guy. Always saw you as somehow experimental, and even if that list is good (which it is), it's kind of safe and as far as you can get from alternative.

Though there is a massive amount of Prog Rock there, something I never would have expected. Though no Pink or Mars Volta.

Those that I have of the above (and I have at least 1 CD of most of the above on my iPod) I like. But to be honest, I'm really getting into the Minimalists and Postminimalists right now. John Adams uber alles.

I can hardly imagine anyone listening to him. I only do occasionally.

I have no idea whatsoever as to who he is. Just did want to look stupid. Which is what I look like in this post.

 

[alec]

What could possibly be wrong with being a Radiohead fan?

If you like OK Computer, chances are you'll love everything they made afterwards: Kid A (Idioteque!!!), Amnesiac and Hail To The Thief.

Coldplay = Radiohead minus the sense for adventure, experiment, change, ...

The Bends is great as well, it's only Pablo Honey that kinda sorta bothers me.

 

[John Uskglass]

I used to like Pablo Honey before I realized that every other CD they made was about a thousand times better.

Personally I don't like U2 that much.

I'm not for alternative. I listen to music to enjoy it, alternative tends to strain the ears and get a bit distracting and unnerving.

Which is why the above is what I listen to regularly, what I listen to easily. I do have a lot more difficult stuff lying around, a lot of alternative and underground stuff, but I listen to them much more infrequently (or much less frequently, if that is your thing), like, uhm, I dunno...Iron and Wine, Fiery Furnaces, kinda of Indy-rockish, kinda shit, but occasionally enjoyable, Nine Inch Nails, which I think is pretty terrible, also sometimes passes the revue, as do smaller techno artists you'll have never heard of. And I do like prog rock. Spock's Beard I really like, for instance, which I guess is somewhere between the 80's, prog rock and experimental music.

Those that I have of the above (and I have at least 1 CD of most of the above on my iPod) I like. But to be honest, I'm really getting into the Minimalists and Postminimalists right now. John Adams uber alles.

Adams? Don't like him much, but I do have a few of his works lying about.

I have no idea whatsoever as to who he is. Just did want to look stupid. Which is what I look like in this post.

A Soviet, dissident, composer, slightly atonal and chromaticistic, but fairly Romantic. Enjoyable, at the least. His 5th symphony is worth al isten. 6th, too.

I can't imagine you listening to Shostakovich, though

Why would you do that? To better appreciate all the actually appealing music out there? Don't get me wrong, duder was brilliant, though mainly in trolling the world to bare dissonances and harmonical/rhythmical rape beyond the point of when it's arousing.

No. He's not completely into the atonical dissonance thing, y'know, he's a moderate.

But even so, occasionally, I do like to listen to him, either a complete composition or a fragment. I don't listen to it awful because it is indeed not the easiest music to listen to, but that doesn't mean it's occasionally enjoyable. Just not very often.

Aight. Alas, I haven't come across any of his first six symphonies that you previously recommended though. What I can recall that I have heard is basically symphony no. 7, a bundle of piano music and a heap of string quartets - so I wouldn't really know. Also, that which is completely into the atonical dissonance thang, I don't know if it deserves to be called 'music' anymore. Just me though.

 

[Wooz]

Although I, as an accomplished composer, disagree.


DJ Bobo is the way to go.

Yet, I wouldn't say, that human evolution has ended. Too many things are still here, and the Ey hasn't been conceived, as of yet.
