I feel that, but Andy Kellman adores thundercat so I automatically put his stuff in the "maybe it's just me" basket.

Are any of you Zappa fans.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 3 December 2020 00:14 (three years ago) link
No
― imago, Thursday, 3 December 2020 00:15 (three years ago) link
Just checking. Neither am I and Thundercat likewise elicits a polite 'interesting' from me.

i made myself a zappa fan this summer but i would consider myself a reluctant one

hmmm have to take this into consideration
I like Thundercat in small doses, but it all gets very samey to me quite quickly.
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Thursday, 3 December 2020 01:04 (three years ago) link
Thundercat's music is...fine, but you're better off just listening to George Duke.

I am a Zappa fan ftr, I own half a dozen Mothers LPs and maybe 4 Zappas

he sucks though
Someone just gave me a $100 credit for the Universal Music webstore and I spent about five minutes seriously considering buying the 6CD Hot Rats box, but...no.

Zappa = classic
― actually-very-convincing (Sund4r), Thursday, 3 December 2020 02:14 (three years ago) link
I like and own Hot Rats, but 6 CDs seems excessive
― howls of non-specificity (sleeve), Thursday, 3 December 2020 02:16 (three years ago) link
Oh yeah, not classic enough for that.
― actually-very-convincing (Sund4r), Thursday, 3 December 2020 02:16 (three years ago) link
Phoebe Bridgers is generally not my thing, although I tried (in case anyone is eagerly awaiting my opinions on confessional singer-songwriters). I can see why people find it interesting.

I love that Hot Rats box, tbh, and I'm not even a huge Zappa fan. I really love that album though and there's a lot of good shit.

I also do not get the Phoebe Bridgers hype, I can only imagine hearing it in the last five minutes of some overly sentimental tv drama
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 3 December 2020 16:57 (three years ago) link
I just wasted several minutes of my life listening to "I Know the End."
Are all Bridgers songs this affectless and without an iota of soul?
― healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Thursday, 3 December 2020 21:53 (three years ago) link
Yes.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 3 December 2020 21:54 (three years ago) link
Well, then I hate it, who cares about the Bridgers record.
― healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Thursday, 3 December 2020 21:58 (three years ago) link
haven't listened yet; i'll cross that Phoebe when I get to it
― Evan, Thursday, 3 December 2020 22:09 (three years ago) link
I'm an idiot, I actually just put it together that she's in boygenius, and this song really fucks with me in the best way

― healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Thursday, 3 December 2020 22:21 (three years ago) link
Still, I like all the boygenius songs a lot better than that one Bridgers song I listened to just now.
― healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Thursday, 3 December 2020 22:22 (three years ago) link
yeah I like the boy genius record. I like the covers Lucy Daucus released last year, I should check her own stuff out
― brimstead, Thursday, 3 December 2020 22:26 (three years ago) link
"me & my dog" is phoebe's masterpiece but the album gets close several times. listen with an open heart

still feeling a little bit gaslit by everyone who insists taylor swift is a great lyricist tbh

otm, but since I don't listen to her music I try to give people the benefit of the doubt that they sound more striking/incisive/evocative in context?
― loose Orwellian mobs (rob), Friday, 11 December 2020 21:12 (three years ago) link
Her appeal is honestly mystifying to me
...I have a vague suspicion that it is somehow related to like musicals
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 11 December 2020 21:18 (three years ago) link
I fucking hate musicals with a passion (worst music ever imo, by a country mile) and I fucking loathe every Taytay song I've ever heard, so you're on to something.
― pomenitul, Friday, 11 December 2020 21:22 (three years ago) link
worse than metal?

I don't listen to her so please expand. What does her approach have to do with musicals?
― Evan, Friday, 11 December 2020 21:25 (three years ago) link
Tbf, rob, everybody knows the two worst are country and rap, assuming you like every kind of music.
― pomenitul, Friday, 11 December 2020 21:27 (three years ago) link
I mean, it is true that Taylor stans love a good narrative
― it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Friday, 11 December 2020 21:29 (three years ago) link
I do like every kind of music: reggae AND dancehall
― loose Orwellian mobs (rob), Friday, 11 December 2020 21:31 (three years ago) link
Idk, something about overly sentimental songs being performed in overly broad way, possibly in a way that suggests that she doesn't fully believe in the sentiment and the audience knows that, but she's gonna sell it anyway and they're gonna buy it?
Or maybe it's just I know a few people who are really into both, and I don't like either.
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 11 December 2020 21:32 (three years ago) link
i've always gotten a kind of "disney" vibe from taylor, but i have no idea why or how to articulate that feeling.
nb, i have not heard the two recent albums and i enjoy several songs from disney movies
― la table sur la table (voodoo chili), Friday, 11 December 2020 21:40 (three years ago) link
lol yes, the biggest Taylor stan I know is obsessed with Disney (and goes there for most adult vacations)
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 11 December 2020 21:42 (three years ago) link
Disney songs tend to have better melodies. Not only is Taytay's music generic, it's also utterly hookless. And she can't sing for shit.
― pomenitul, Friday, 11 December 2020 21:49 (three years ago) link
idk i think it's a little extravagant to argue she's not good at writing/singing pop songs. i just really don't like / relate to her persona - very Not For Me and that's ok.
