| Noir album recommendations In terms of "evokes a corrupt town where it’s always raining / paranoia" but doesn’t-sound-like-"general jazz"-but-more-in the-orchestral-realm type thing, I would recommend: Experiment in Terror (1962 score) - Henry Mancini Vertigo (1958 score)... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @simao Allow me to once again issue semantic gymnastics and snobbishly parse out words: “…enforcing a completely arbitrary and arrogant gateway for what can be considered legitimate art…” Come again? “gateway?” “enforcing” said gateway? What is... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @larsman I was making a point with an analogy. You said “if someone likes something, that means it’s good.” I’m saying, “no it doesn’t.” | |
| Are You a Swifty? @larsman "Personally, I think if somebody likes it, it's good, even if it's just good for that one person. Can't negate somebody else's experience..." I appreciate what you're getting at, but do you really, I mean...really believe that? Cyber-... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @simao I said the music was vapid. If you want to take that personally and take it as though I'm saying YOU are vapid, I have no control over that, that's on you. I watch "Farting Preacher" videos on YouTube very often. Is that "shallow" enough... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim When I listen to Black Christ of the Andes by Mary Lou Williams, I feel like I’m in Heaven. The title track is one of the great pieces of music of the last 60 years to these ears. | |
| Kind of Blue @stuartk Having a system that allows customers or patrons to efficiently locate a thing (dedicated aisles in a grocery store, Dewey Decibel system in a library, etc.) is helpful. Describing music to another person is different. Conflating the ... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @waltersalas That’s cool. I just disagree with you on ol’ Taylor. Maybe at some point I’ll feel differently. Maybe not. | |
| Are You a Swifty? @simao My description of Taylor Swift’s music (have you ever heard Taylor Swift’s music, by the way?) as constituting a “cynical exploitation of the American’s need for vapid pablum” is not at all “on par with those in this community who feel that... | |
| Qualities Of An End-game System How about this. End game is a label some folks use as an attempt to put an end to (cap) on upgraditis. The false belief that there is a point when one will finally not be inclined to upgrade. This 👆 | |
| Are You a Swifty? @immatthewj Read my multiple posts here on this thread, and then read yours. See if you can figure out which of the two things is “conversation,” and which is “trolling.” You said I was “trolling.” Ha! It takes one to know one. Have you e... | |
| Kind of Blue @stuartk I’ll clarify. You may have experienced this scenario one or several times in your life: Someone says, “you should check out (insert artist name). You’d like it. They are (insert genre/sub-genre label, a label that may or may not have one ... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @immatthewj Nope. Swing and a miss. I’ve said quite a bit about a whole heckuva lot of things on the three pages of this thread. I commented on, - Taylor Swift’s music and her cynical exploitation of the American’s need for vapid pablum - sexism... | |
| Are You a Swifty? Sad that a thread regarding the most insipid, milquetoast, uncontroversial, apolitical celebrity somehow inspires troglodyte political blather. | |
| Kind of Blue Especially in the ‘45-‘75 chronological range, there is an enormous amount. Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Mary Lou Williams, Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Charles Mingus, Max Roach, Orn... |
