| Are You a Swifty? @erik_squires I think you’re confusing Taylor Swift with Britney Spears. Britney Spears was tied to a conservatorship that she got out of recently, not Taylor Swift. | |
| Kind of Blue @simonmoon This, “No, no, no!” business, this “(Tubular Bells) is firmly in the prog-rock genre, or progressive music genre” business, is all a bit much. Tubular Bells sounds like Steve Reich, Phillip Glass, Terry Riley, etc., stuff typically r... | |
| Is there any fan of Mettalica here? I like Metallica. Never heard of Mettalica. Metallica’s first 4 albums are classics. I’m particularly fond of Master of Puppets. Side note: if unfamiliar, check out Motörhead’s cover of “Whiplash.” Awesome. | |
| Are You a Swifty? @wesheadley I’m with you 100% on the repulsion from algorithmic dominance in the dissemination of music today. I hate to beat a dead horse, but I really chafe at the “female artist” bit. No one ever says, “you should check out (insert male art... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @wesheadley Perhaps what you’re saying is, “there is great potential for personal growth in exposing oneself to stuff they typically assume to be crap, as one may surprise oneself and avoid a certain stagnation of musical awareness,” or, as Werner... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @wesheadley Again, this is very interesting stuff. You’re describing current popular music as, “boring,” “lazy writing,” “absent of melody,” “dull,” “narcissistic,” “lazy,” and “sounding like it came more out of a corporate boardroom than an ar... | |
| if you had this system, what would you do to make it sound the best you can I’m going to second the comments of onhwy61, baylinor, & fredapplegate. You’ve got good stuff to enjoy music in ways too few do (see tons of folks listening to ‘music’ on the onboard speakers of a mobile device…sweet Martha…😖) Avoid the pitfal... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @wesheadley You say, “She is clearly a talented songwriter…but what she mostly writes about…isn’t very interesting to me.” So…she’s simultaneously “not very interesting,” and “clearly a talented songwriter.” Now THAT is interesting. | |
| Are You a Swifty? Or, instead of subtle sexism, we could just have really full-on, super-gross, troglodyte blather. That’s also an option. | |
| Are You a Swifty? I find digitally pitch-corrected vocals with no sonic depth, dimension or sense of any interaction with a physical space, with a good chunk of their humanity removed, to be nowhere near “pleasant” and much worse than, “non-descript.” “Pain-induc... | |
| A.I. music I’m not so interested in discussing the meaning of “intelligence,” or whether AI is such as I am interested in discussing the implications of an already-difficult occupation, artist (in this case musical artist), now entailing a threat from comput... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @dayglow My point is that instead of addressing the question, “you like Taylor Swift?”, instead of talking about the relative merits of her art, instead of talking about songwriting, performing, etc., we’re showing all of the insight and analytica... | |
| Are You a Swifty? It’s really sad that these comparisons are emerging here. Joni? Aretha? Adele? Madonna? JLo? Whitney Houston? How/why would Taylor Swift be compared to each of them? Her music and vibe is quite different from each of them… …hmmmmm…. …why would T... | |
| Eric Carmen Celine Dion took a beautiful Eric Carmen song that borrowed heavily from Rachmaninov and reduced it to soppy, cheesy milquetoast for soccer moms. “Let’s Pretend” has 10 chords, btw. | |
| A.I. music Who needs human beings? Nothin’ but trouble. Maybe A.I. can enslave us and mine our “soulfulness” reservoirs and then figure out how to getter emulate the human factor in music creation. Then we’d be set! |
