I'm like, "What's this?" and punch it into Spotify and saw what it was. I am such an asshole I simply cannot push play for a single song. I like to think I'm pretty openminded, but I guess I have more work to do. To make up for it, here's some interesting Breeders stuff: https://www.premierguitar.com/articl...n-the-breeders |
Evol, just listen to "Personal Halloway". Pretend it's a band you never heard of that Albini produced.

been listening to Subaeris albums. spacing out.

I feel like we're an inch away from discussing the musical merits of "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" and "Gangnam Style". :mad: |
Seriously dude? Even if you hate Bush you think an album produced by Steve Albini is akin to that bullshit? Stop it.

DUDE, I'm pretty sure ALBINI thinks the album is bullshit. |

Not an argument. Albini thinks Surfer Rosa is bullshit. And counterpoint: Albini recording something doesn’t make it good. Razorbladr Suitcase is not good, but “Greedy Fly” is on my “I’m bored and wanna listen to ‘90s rawk” playlist with other stuff I kinda like but don’t really like. |

Oh fuck off already WHO CARES, the thing's a piece of shit. ART MATTERS for Chrissakes... |

He actually said he enjoyed making it. Shrug. I'm not saying he makes it good. But his sound is great. I don't care what you guys think. I like that album a lot. |

Done. It's alright. It's not utter shit. There are some novel touches that keep it from being too generic. Hate the singer's voice. It's very fake, full of affectations. Lyrics aren't bad. I like the overall sound. Not too slick. Yeah, that's the Albini bass/drum sound we all know and sometimes love. But I have no memories/nostalgia associated with the song/band, so it's just a song to me. I don't see myself investigating further. It doesn't help that when I type "bush" into search bar, KATE BUSH is the second result. An okay grunge song vs a music master. It would be difficult for anyone to look their best in her company. |
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to make such a thoughtful post.

I ignore all the "bush" bands
The Bush Tetras Bush Kate Bush all that boring shit |
BTW, art does matter, and satire is art, and Gangam Style is making fun of a certain breed of rich entitled asshole that comes from Gangam area in Seoul Korea, and it is fun as fuck and the video is genius and he is having a great time and good for him getting a music career going while being a fat, non-androgenous waif.

Art does matter. And all art hits us differently. I don't know why it's important to some folks that their preferred art is Good and art they don't like is Bad.
I recently went to a museum. Disclaimer I don't know much about painting. Three different painttings I liked turned out to be Whistler. This was blind taste test right? Just the paintings I happened to like. So that's it, my eyes/brain/heart liked how those looked. It's not right or wrong. I like Razorblade Suitcase. Ears/brain/heart. Nobody else has to. But there's no right or wrong here. |
I like late night infomercials.
|
“Swallowed” is OK too. I’d take that over all those Californicaion RHCP singles any goddamn day.

I still need to give their last two albums decent listens, but this one, FAO Infinity (I know that's wrong, but you know which one I mean) and Yanqui U.X.O. are all so great. Not to mention Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada. |

Last two don’t really stack up in my opinion. |
