It's certainly been interesting to read the comments on it over the last few days... loads of people complaining about being "ripped off", but also just as many throwing phrases around such as "artistic statement". If The Knife deliberately set out to confound, then it's certainly worked!

If I want a statement I'll go to my bank, not a record shop. Making a good record should be the priority. Then give it away for free if your politics are serious, otherwise you're a hypocrite.

No. If you want to make a political point go and become a politician. The problem with most modern music is that there is no place for music.

Man Identified, Charged In `Fat Rapist` AttacksNovember 21, 1986|By BUDDY NEVINS, Miami Bureau Chief
HIALEAH -- A 26-year-old unemployed man was identified Thursday as being the ``Fat Rapist,`` whose vicious attacks terrorized this blue-collar community.
Leonel Leopodo Fumero, a heavyset Latin, was charged in two of three attacks blamed on the Fat Rapist, police said.

There was some kind of Steampunk party in Atlanta a few weeks ago (sadly i didn't get to go). I don't know how it turned out but some hip local bands played and it sounded like some kind of cool thing. It seems to sort of fit into Etsy DIY culture and "The Dream of the 1890s" etc. Next time i hear about a Steampunk party i really need to make a point to check it out.
I do wish there were Cyberpunk-themed parties though. Maybe that's what raves are like (I've never been to one).

I have a thesis about altered-scale Western music: it sucks. But it sucks kind of deliciously, these lesser geniuses trying to create a school of thought that rivalled Second Viennese School -> musique concrete & Xenakis, and basically coming up with a lot of "I like to play out of tune and I am crazy"

― Gregory Bateson is always appropriate (sarahell), Thursday, 1 August 2013 01:19 (eleven years ago) link
Think the point was that even in self-indictment you shouldn't deign to speak for everyone; perhaps your biggest crime (in my opinion) was to not elaborate on "I like to play out of tune and I am crazy" because I think that while *perhaps* a lot of this music does stem from a subconscious desire to push beyond, to transcend the meagre palette conventionally available, in manifesting experimentally this conceit, perhaps genuine and sincere expression is found. I suppose that would be your thesis, which would be very welcome on the altered scale thread. I'm also perturbed by "lesser geniuses" - subjectivity is permitted, of course, but it's a really loaded term regardless. Anyway, it's a fucken great thread and you've posted loads of awesome stuff there, which is the real reason you get a pass (from me at least)
― imago, Thursday, 1 August 2013 01:25 (eleven years ago) link
@ sarahell, a few posts later, I explained: Just to be clear, I am posting on this thread to be proven wrong. I love extended scales, my own new music uses 24-tone tunings, primarily for saturating the colours of essentially diatonic music. I've spent the last five years buying up as many records by famous scale-doctoring composers as I can find and what I've heard has been either

Ugh... 'Happy' is playing on the radio and the only heartening thing about it is that finally it feels like we're coming out of that obnoxious faux-town craze that lasted wayyy too long.But there's always going to be a 'Shit Trend' in pop music that exemplifies a particular time - usually it involves producers and artists jumping on an actually very credible idea, but pumping out as many watered-down versions as possible before the trend expires.Right now, the extent reggaeton-lite fad is clearly becoming more than just a fad as it's been going on for years and recently reared its head with DJ Snake's 'Taki Taki'.Is this the 'shit trend' right now? Or is there something more insidiously bland waiting in the wings? What other shit trends have there been in history, ones that despite being a bit shit seem to exemplify a two or three year stretch?
