i just listened to Eine Kleine Nacht Musik for the first time in a while and i enjoyed that. one thing i realized i like about classical music is the volume disparity. it got to a quiet part and my roommate was like "turn it up" but i remembered the loud part a minute ago was as loud as i wanted it to be and though you couldn't really hear what was going on at that point, it's because you're not supposed to. most music makes effort to keep a pretty consistent volume level but yeah. just thought that was interesting. okay back to homewoooooork

i've been listening to:
Jimmy Eat World
The Klaxons
Holy Fu[U]c[/U]k

good stuff...good good stuff

This is largely because in the current recorded music climate classical music is one of the only styles that isn't compressed to death. Rock/pop/rap musics all have dynamics, too, but the standard today is to compress the music so hard that any sense of that is gone. Digital audio can only be pushed to a certain level before it distorts, so in order to make things stand out and seem "louder," recordings are compressed an unbelievable amount. What's even worse is that radio stations take this music that's already compressed to its dynamic and qualitative disadvantage, and they run it again through their own compressor.

Experimental/Psych/Pop.

I love this motherf[B]u[/B]cker.[/QUOTE]

Sounds fun, I'm going to download that.

Jesus, [I]Crazy Rhythms[/I] by the Feelies is SO GOOD.

alright FINE i'll download it

that's about the 500th time i've heard this mentioned

500 is the threshold for that sort of thing.

You won't be disappointed.

It's one of the best albums I got this past school year. Other hits were Cryptooology by Yowie and Ecim by Cul De Sac.

Oh, and An Electric Storm by White Noise.

Discovered/got same thing. I got Ecim the beginning of last school year, about a year ago.

seemed like longer who knows. jesus christ this is the assignment that will never ****ing end. ugh and i thought i was going to bed early tonight :(

Today I have dug a mix I made for summer last year. I forgot how good "Rattled by the Rush" is.

Horrors - [I]Strange House[/I]
Celebration - [I]Celebration[/I]
Swami Sound System - [I]Vol. 1: 2003 Sales Conference[/I]

Cul de Sac are awesome.

Frank Zappa - [I]For Sharleena[/I]

Matmos - A Chance to Cut is a Chance to Cure
Kathy Diamond - Miss Diamond to You
Fred Frith - Gravity

All pretty good stuff. Kathy Diamond is pretty cool, if you like all that disco soul crap. Maurice Fulton is a pretty sweet producer. I like the solo Fred Frith a lot more than Art Bears.

Gang Starr - [I]Moment Of Truth[/I] - Amazing album, can't believe I've put off listening to this for so long.
Brand New - [I]The Devil & God Are Raging Inside Me[/I] - I don't like this album as much as [I]Your Favourite Weapon[/I] or [I]Déja[/I], probably cos it's a completely different sound to anything they've done. Then again I've only listened to it a couple of times so maybe it will grow on me.

The Jazz June - [i]Breakdance Suburbia[/i]

Mmmmmmmmm I've been digging the new Do Make Say Think album. Really solid stuff. 'Splosions in the sky too. I really wanna see them live again. . .

jesus low is a great band

Omar Goodness - [I]F Is For Four-Eyes[/I]

idk it's like old Weezer except nerdier.

lol

i got a new computer so i've been ripping all the albums i couldnt fit on my flash drive back onto it. the burned CDs are still recognized by iTunes, but it found multiple matches for Marquee Moon. in addition to the correct album, it also recognized it as [i]Epiliptica (Japanese Version)[/i] by Iced Earth

iTunes really IS gay i guess

Pissed Jeans - [i]Hope For Men[/i]
Souvaris - [i]A Hat[/i]

The Go-Betweens - [I]16 Lovers Lane[/I]

What's [i]A Hat[/i] like? I have it on my laptop and I don't know how it got there. I think one of my housemates just dumped it there for me to listen to.
