(we had this before, I guess it's more appropriate as a thread than just in Random Thoughts or whatever)
yeah, strangest thing I've heard yet today:
http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2013/01/black-flag-announces-new-album-and-us-tour/
definitely wouldn't have bet on Chavo to be the vocalist they'd reunite with, though he might be my favorite Black Flag singer -
Won't fully believe it until I see a date, but it seems likely since they did sign with a label.
-
signing to a label = real.
also holy shit. -
Oh my fucking goodness please let that be good.
I didn't even hate Human After All, so I'm hoping to at least like this one. -
I'm not a fan of the album, but the Human After All stuff on Alive 2007 isn't just tolerable... It's kinda great.
-
I'd say the stuff on Human After All ranges from okay to very good, but on Alive 2007 it ranges from great to amazing.
-
We need a like button.
-
I would "like" that very post.
That's one of the few benefits of the Facebook group. -
I don't like the false binary imposed by a "like" button.
-
We need a dislike button.
-
On the real though, I agree that it's limiting, but sometimes I just want to acknowledge that I like what someone is saying without having to actually say that.
-
we would also need an indifferent button as well just so i can let you know that i dont really care.
-
http://consequenceofsound.net/2013/01/mgmt-ready-self-titled-third-album-for-june-release/
might not be as straight forward as we previously thought it would be -
@colony i would indifferent that post
-
gonna be real for a minute
i miss straight forward mgmt -
ALL ALONG THE WESTERN FRONT
PEOPLE LINE UP TO RECEIVE -
Wow I'm really excited for that MGMT album. "There's no illusion on [Columbia Records'] part that that we're going to turn into a Top 40 band." That got me really excited, and of course the supposed "Aphex Twin and house music" influence.
-
it kind of pisses me off though that they are trying so hard to make sure people know that they aren't "mainstream"
-
I think they were just trying to dispel the rumors that there was going to be label interference after Congratulations didn't do very well.

....in other news, children are still starving in Africa -
Lil B replying to a diss from a dead rapper is so Lil B.
-
Joey Badass is dead??
-
no, Capital STEEZ is
-
That was quick
-
OOOOOH SNAP. I feel like I'm in the 90's again. Where's Biggie and Tupac at?
Oh that's right. They're fucking DEAD. Shot. Durrr. Grow up. -
why would you make a reply to someone like Lil B?
-
Based some of his tweets he doesn't really give a shit about it and this was all for shits and gigs, so that makes it more acceptable.
-
I don't see any good reason to be bothered by her choice to lip sync.
-
People make scandals and controversies about everything.
-
@Clyde I can't believe you would say something like that!
-
It's crazy to me that it's a bigger story than Manti Te'o having a dead girlfriend who didn't fucking exist.
-
Oh my fucking goodness @WiredRacing you beat me to it by one minute.
-
#internetwin
-
wut. He had directed Fight Club, right?
-
Yes
-
And Se7en, and The Social Network, and Zodiac, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
-
guys, what if JT was in fight club...
just sayin -
I'd imagine he'd be Angel Face.
-
like what if he replaced Jared Leto as the guy who got his ass beat
that would be dope -
well shit, Nick... looks like we're on the same page hahaha
-
heyyyy same thought
-
kinda hate to admit it, but i've honestly liked JT as an actor in the couple things i've seen him in
-
not ashamed to admit I liked him in The Social Network. Don't know why I should be ashamed, really.
-
because jt be on his suit & tie shit tie shit
-
Yeah I thought JT was great in The Social Network as well. I haven't seen him in anything else, but I'm really looking forward to seeing him in the next Coen brothers movie.
-
He was better in alpha dawgg
-
Ugh, I hate it when musicians have thoughts.
-
I do but only if they have blast beats
-
@Ocaml might be making a bit of a joke, but I'd say that's pretty much on the mark. Social media definitely brings fans closer to the artist and the average music artist business platform is certainly still evolving from the deconstruction of music label monopoly. There's simply more touring going on, more swag, more releases and some of them are trying to become as irreplaceable to their fans like their smartphone though social media interactions.
Look at Amanda Palmer. I mean I like her stuff, and I do follow her on twitter, but holy crap she has a lot of output and for the most part I just scroll by it all now because it's just too much. But there are fans, thousands, who no doubt read and wait for every word with baited breath. You could spend all day, every day, just reading up on all the media from your favorite artists.
I'd go so far to say some artists are dancing a fine line of prostitution as there's certainly a reward for intimacy dynamic going on here.
Welcome to the New Frontier. -
Not that I agree with everything she said, but I do think people tend to equate popular with bad, which is of course totally untrue.
-
Actually on second thought. This isn't new. The Beatles did this.
The only difference is anyone can do it now. You don't *need* marketers and promoters and capital to print poster books or get into teen magazines. You just need a PC, a camera and an internet connection. And preferably some kind of music in a digital format.
The era of DIY celebrity. -
As for her actual comments.
I find popular usually tends towards bad, or more importantly, boring because usually for something to be popular it has to appeal to a broader audience, and therefore geared towards the lowest common denominator and that's not usually where my interest lies.
That said, I watch The Daily Show, Love The Beatles, and still think Titanic was a pretty good movie.
I think what happens more than anything are generalizations. I'm guilty of it, but I think Claire is here too. Obviously more people love Beyonce than hate her. Therefore, her complaint is about an exception, not the rule. And if everyone thought the same way, this would not be an interesting place.
There's certainly very little need or use for actual hate and it's often wasted on things that people should just ignore and not waste braincells forming a negative opinion on. Complaining and anger and stress are exhausting, make you unproductive and generally unflattering to other people.
Save that hate! -
Oh I agree, Perception is reality.
But I was speaking from the scope of society in general and not from an indie/mainstream "music world" position. Which, obviously Grimes is knee deep in. -
Wtf^

http://pitchfork.com/news/49493-keith-morris-recovering-from-diabetic-coma-off-cancel-west-coast-tour/
wow, I definitely hope he gets better soon -
I really don't like Azelia Banks. Seems like all she does is pick fights on twitter with people.
http://pitchfork.com/news/49582-baauer-gets-azealia-banks-harlem-shake-taken-down-feels-her-twitter-wrath/ -
I'm glad he got her to take it down. The soundcloud artist listing/label just had her name on it. Plus it just wasn't very good.
-
"faggoot" is officially the best new word. BNW
-
that's also the closest I'll ever come to being on Perez Hilton's side, on anything.....except that in situations like this sitting back and watching is far more paramount to actively taking sides. The bitch even put it back up!
-
"212" is the only Azealia Banks song I like. :/
-
i dont even really like that
-
The tone of that P4k article is kinda funny because it looks a little like they are "turning on" Azealia Banks.
-
Juicy J is going to be much better.
-
This just in.
-
Probs the first time I have seen a post from these guys who apparently either broke up or were on a hiatus (seems as though the latter is more likely now). I hope this means a new album or something. That would be fucking awesome. Don't know if you folks remember but Fantasy Black Channel (by these guys) was my aotw back when we did that sort of thing. Funny I literally just listened to it on my drive home from work the other day and was wishing they were still together. -
the last minute of this song is one of the greatest things (the whole song is baller though)
-
oh shit, they did this before they posted that!!!
This has to mean a new album!111!!!!!!1!1!7!&1^1^!&!881*1!&!81*"!"!&1"!(!(!!!(!(!(!(!(!(!(!(!(!(!11!1*!&1*!*1 -
Also, tinypic using their captcha for ads is pretty clever.
-
-
Neat! Both of them are likable people, even if I haven't enjoyed Andy Samberg's comedy quite as much as a lot of people seem to.
-
You can't trust the system
My dad's not a phone
Duh! -
http://www.factmag.com/2013/02/26/goldie-working-on-new-projects-with-flying-lotus-burial-photek-and-more/
Interesting. I've met him and I used to work with his sister in Vancouver. -
I'm game for anything with Flying Lotus or Burial.
-
This was his definitive track. Man.. 94. Some of you were still pooping in your diapers then. #shitoldguyssay
-
I was! :)
lol austin wasnt even born -
Wow, that's guaranteed to turn out interesting, for better or worse.
This is definitely one of my most anticipated albums of the year. -
I was 6 in 94, so certainly out of diapers (I hope).
-
I was 3. Definitely pooped my pants on the reg at that age.
Actually I don't even remember what age most people are out of diapers by. I guess you're usually being potty trained at around that age, so maybe I didn't. -
I was potty trained before I was 3.
-
i wasn't even born lolol, took another year for that to happen
-
haha, totally was reading "Goldie" as "Blondie"
how great would Blondie + FlyLo/Burial collab be? -
My money, all of it, etc.
-
dunno if anyone else has been following the Randy Blythe situation, but this put a smile on my face
http://consequenceofsound.net/2013/03/lamb-of-gods-randy-blythe-found-not-guilty-of-manslaughter/ -
What the fuhh?

"For all the placidity to the music of Radiohead and Atoms for Peace, their fans sure are vicious. Between violent pushing/shouting matches laying claim to space and one turning around to tell me and a friend “I’m literally going to kill one of you” for briefly chatting near the front of the set, there is a deep sense of ownership to this music. "
And it goes on from there.
Ugh. Superfans. -
Lil Wayne is in critical condition supposedly. ODed on cough syrup.
You know, I don't like Lil Wayne, but I'm going to be kinda sad when he dies.
