Can't tell exactly what the musical trend is nowadays
Concerning # 5 don't lump everybody in there with "we"Kinski wrote:this is how it's gonna be:
1. new album drops and is sold out everywhere thanks to how popular they are to internet hipsters.
2. in two weeks time first haters creep in.
3. Pitchfork gives it a 4/10 for the lols
4. Joyrex says it's quite good.
5. math nerds figure out everything on the album obviously and remotely related to the numbers: 70, 69, 1969, 13, 6, 666 and already predict the next release based off those numbers and dates of the year.
5. after a year of discussing the same crap specific people and newbies who just torrented the discography and already played it out will be abck at bitching there's no new boc in sight
the end.
+1 it limits creativity because you're confining yourself to sounding appropriate for that trend or specific genre.Seeya_Later wrote:^^^
Actually a good thing though. Trends keep people from really expressing themselves IMO.
Good point, but Beck doing Loser, which was the first time he rapped on a song, not only bolstered his career but actually did a good job of it. To think it was allegedly ironic!Seeya_Later wrote:It's like how in the early 90's everything had a rap during the bridge.

Well I don't hear dubstep in songs by Fever Ray, iamamiwhoami and Royksopp. It doesn't mean that other contemporary bands aren't doing it.dp wrote:it did? cuz i was in high school in the early 90's and i don't remember hearing any rapping in my Pavement, Guided by Voices and Sebadoh records... get yr facts straight.Seeya_Later wrote:It's like how in the early 90's everything had a rap during the bridge.

Solange may have hipped him to their music...haha. I suppose they have worked with those anticon guys with remixes and their music and their vocals sat OK together. Although personally I feel that the music on those remixes far outshines the vocals which I'm not that into. I've always thought it would have been great had they worked with Ivor Cutler. Not just because he was a fellow countryman. The results would have been interestingjay bee wrote:ArbitersGround wrote:If BoC had a rapper on one of their tracks off a new album, I'd be superpissed.
