uhhhh actually cattily sniping about how bad Lena Dunham is gonna look once she starts taking ozempic is extremely masculine. at least he is still working the irony angle by critiquing over the hill celebrities who have drastically altered their bodies with drugs.
What are you poor?
He could make it good but all he does is read a gay script that Jay Dyer writes him.
My biannual MDE.tv payment of $600 is coming up and I need to make sure there is money still in my account.
Nitpicking between blues, rock, and blues rock is about as productive as trying to figure out if Schubert belonged to the classical or romantic eras. And even so, Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf still exist.
Yes I'm sure Lidl Drip is a very reliable narrator about the Marky shit, she's very well known as being reliable on such matters.
Blues and rock have about as much in common as rock and death metal. I don't care if some of the chords are the same. Just because some rock musicians were inspired by blues musicians doesn't mean that rock has anything to do with black culture, which is what the other guy was implying. By the way, I wouldn't care if 90% of contemporary rock and metal musicians were black, either.
They’re all part of the same extended family tree, yes. It’s not hard to trace a throughline that goes from Napalm Death back to Bessie Smith.
The entire concept of singer-guitar-drums-bass comes directly from the blues. That’s pretty fucking significant on a level even moreso than using more seventh chords than the average Debussy prelude.
Rock musicians are directly indebted to blues musicians the same say everyone who’s ever written a string quartet is indebted to Joseph Haydn. Trying to downplay it as any less is just being dishonest.
It does mean that rock music has the inherently ugly stain of being born from black culture, like an octaroon chick with a black grandfather. Certainly not a judgement call on her personality, but you’d also look like a bit of a tool if you called her an exemplar of white excellence while putting down a half black chick as a nigger mutt.
Shoenberg sucks. Debussy is of course a classic choice. Glad you mentioned Scriabin, I'm actually a big fan of his, especially his earlier work. His Piano Concerto is one of my favorite piano concertos ever, and should be performed way, way more. The Adagio is absolutely incredible.
I’m about as interested in discussing classical music on the internet drama forum as I am in discussing my favorite Extreme Peace skits on a Chinese basketweaving forum. Still, you sound like a dilletante.
Yeah the issue is that this is just an unsubstantiated claim by Marky herself as far as I know. It is all hearsay, even if its likely true.
I heard he died by having his own bookshelf fall over on top of him, and since he was such a recluse, no body bothered to look for him, so he was just slowly crushed to death. Pretty rough way to go out.
I never heard that story, but I looked into it and it's even funnier than that. It was supposedly while he was trying to reach for a copy of the Talmud. Unfortunately, the story has been disputed, and there's a chance that if a bookshelf fell it was only because he was trying to grab it for support when he collapsed. Go figure the version of that story with Jewish texts came from the Rabbi of his hometown.
