Be Here Now has its moments of pure genius it just needs to be trimmed the fuck down. D'ya Know What I mean didn't need to be 8 minutes, I actually had to make my own mix that made just a little over 4. (and to make it a bit quieter because of how fucking loud the record is)
There were some good ideas on that album that could have made very good songs, but the whole album is drowning in an avalanche of blow. Noel Gallagher said something like "We kept adding more and more things to the songs expecting that someone would come into the room and tell us to stop but nobody every did." Everyone needs an editor, particularly when coked out of their mind (see also: Stephen King).
She's the female version of safe horny, where she acts like a slut but also talks about how she doesn't like men. She's hypersexual but doesn't do anything sexy.
Another example I keep seeing is that one rap that does nothing to change the melody of Kids from MGMT, but does the generic materialistic rapping.
Modern country has been "whatever is on the Top 40 except with slide guitar in the background" for decades at this point.
Yeah, she looks like an animated porcelain doll or something. It's weird.
I agree. And it's really funny that people treat Britney Spears and Justin Bieber as sacred cows now but they're willing to make fun of Katy Perry. It just seems odd to me. Event hough I'm not the biggest fan of her, all this shit-talking just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, like, "Haven't I seen/heard this before?"
You should check out Folk Punk if havent, Daze N Days, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Pat the Bunny, and maybe to some extent The Mountain Goats, you familiar with any of these guys?
People are lenient on Britney because she had a public mental breakdown and was under the conservatorship of her father for about 15 years. Britney Spears did not pay to go into space and pretend that she knows better than us/prove how out of touch she is, not only did Katy Perry do this, she got popular as an adult and I don't remember the media hounding her as bad as Britney. Neither of Katy's parents took advantage of her weakened mental state (that she never had) to take control of her assets.
I am not but Andrew Jackson Jihad may be the best name for something ever.
She's in her 40s and the worst thing that's happened to her is people being mad at her own delusion about how important she is because she bought a ticket to go into space for 10 minutes. There's nothing to feel bad for because she refuses to self-reflect and it will be forgotten within the next week as some else does something stupider.
I’ve heard fantastic things being done with FL Studio - everything Lone does is incredible. It’s very easy to blame modern production, rather than marketing tendencies, for “ruining” the entire music industry - the tools just became smaller and more accessible. Plenty of active and trending producers are centralizing their songwriting process around hardware sequencers, like old MPCs or Octatracks - those things allow you to do pretty much everything a traditional digital audio workstation would allow you to. Sure, they won’t have plenty of complex audio processing tools, they won’t allow you to load up software synths or complex effects and you’ll have to do all the post-production elsewhere, but you can write fully fledged albums with the functionality span of these devices.
Horse Soldier Horse Soldier is great, I used to put it on in the background when I'd play War of Rights or Battle Cry of Freedom
I actually quite like a lot of modern country music. Nothing better than white people music for white people
