  1. beerwolf - i rec I Am Legend

     

    currently reading Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and his Years of Pilgrimage

     

    pretty standard Murakami affair. most of the way through and not a lot has happened.

  2. i thought Xbox looked pretty good in their conference. tons of games shown, hopefully some of them actually get released. i remember thinking they looked pretty good when they announced XB1 but most of those games still haven't came out!

     

    i still don't have a current gen console but i've recently brought Forza Motorsport 4 on xb360 which is very, very nice and super satisfying to play.

  3. this is ok...... better than the last one i think. still incredibly pretentious music that does not deserve the hype

    lmao i knew you would post weeks down the line saying it was okay. this is the cycle you have every Actress thread
  4. there are so many reasons labels are hugely beneficial.

     

    they promote the artists, they are a network to other artists, management, venues and most importantly >>>LISTENERS<<<. they can sort out press, distribution, branding, financing and all the other boring business stuff most musicians don't want to worry about.

     

    just being a good musician isn't enough to make it as everybody knows, and a label or some other form of management is essential for 99% of musicians.

  5.  

    Give up and make music.

    This.

    you're not alone. music making is 90% self loathing and stress, 10% enjoyment and relief for me.

    You probly just trying too hard
    i'm exaggerating, though you are right. i do try hard, but that's because it's so important to me. when i'm not making music i'm thinking about it and dedicating so much energy towards it burns me out. even though it is frustrating and exhausting i love the whole process and it endlessly interests me.
  6. fin: The Drowned World (J.G. Ballad)

     

    this was disappointing. a nice idea but poor execution. flat characters, too much repetition and a waste of a good world.

     

    begin: The Outsider (Albert Camus)

  7. please fuck off, lopez. you take every opportunity to shit on Actress and you take other people's enjoyment of his music so offensively lmao

     

    i don't think you need to explain why you like an artist and music can be much more subtle, not everything will conjure powerful emotions and images but i'll try to play your game anyway

     

    for me his music is just the right side of unusual. it's loopy and repetitive enough to be hypnotic but adventurous enough to be interesting and he has definitely defined a 'sound' for himself. for me there's a distinct british and urban vibe i get from the music in the same way as an artist like Burial (who's probably his closest contemporary). the music reminds me of getting hella blunted with friends and listening to music in cars as a teen, listening to the music through a thick haze both literally (h0t bOxiNg daT sHiT faM) and mentally. the dude himself is very odd which gives some interest and mystique to the music as well. he clearly has strong concepts and ideas for his albums and as pieces his albums hold together well both together and separately. unity in albums is something important when it comes to me liking an artist and he achieves it well, even though his music is so fractured and variable.

     

    on a basic level his music has a lot of things i enjoy hearing; noise, 4x4 kicks, vocal samples, buried sounds and melodies etc.

     

    like i said a page back or so he's only just clicked for me recently. i thought he was decent but overrated, nothing more. sometimes you just don't see what others do in music (or any art form) and sometimes you do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
