/music/ - Music

This one is with Zack de la Rocha.

Don't be fooled that Run the Jewels is leftist in any way shape or form.
Just enjoy their left-ish music without looking into it.

> disturbed that zoomers don’t know who he is
I’m not.
They don’t care that Killer Mike has been around forever because they’re too young to remember that shit. Also Travis Scott lost so his fans are a bit pissy about it. His music is about as entertaining as wallpaper to me but it does have more mainstream appeal than Mike among younger demographics.

zoomers might know killer mike from run the jewels
also outkast has had a big resurgence of interest in the 2010s
i remember ms jackson was a meme when i was in high school

> zoomers dont know this guy

why are you guys so obsessed about having your generational tastes being immortalised?

Stop being entitled

It’s not really generational since a lot of the run the jewels stuff came out when zoomers were teenagers.

when it comes to enjoying music, having a soul helps.

>>11411
And the more souls you have the better it is, like how pulleys work.

>>11327
Because you're legitimately autistic anon. Seriously, if no music appeals to you in any way or form, then you need to see if something in you is broken. Humanity created music as a way of entertaining but also imitating sounds, likely as hunting whistles, and drumming on logs and what-not is something even Great Apes do. So as human paleolithic groups evolved and developed, at some point music developed in different places simultaneously, and like early painting, slowly formed into an art form, with dedicated tools being created for the express purpose of music. We like music because of the patterns, rhythm, soul and melody and it appeals to us.

it's not just a beat tho
a song can have a perfectly quantized beat and still sound like shit

>>11327
If you don't like it you don't like it, nobody can explain it to you.

happy

I wouldn't care.

Would that be more fucked up than when folk-rap neonazis got it in 2022?

Did anyone listen to the new Sonata Arctica yet? It's supposed to be their return to power metal.

I generally don't like power metal, but I have a soft spot for middle era metal kamelot if that counts.

something about us and voyager were probably my fav tunes by them

old, but gold sets:
"Daft Punk - Sankeys Soap"
"Daft Punk - Essential Mix, BBC Radio 1"
"Daft Punk - Essential Selection Special Edition Hotmix"

*THE* greatest love song of all time by all accounts.

The Nutones - Beans 'n' Greens [1956] (Doo Wop) Stereo Mix

NO ONE posted this gem??

00s is like the best era of hip hop dance music. You can't listen and not start dancing.

this concert: AFI - 07/03/99 - Fireside Bowl - Chicago, IL

TBH I always find it funny when rappers sample commies given the parasitical nature American communists had to New Afrikans. CPUSA had to fight for civil rights because that was the only way they could win the Black community over from other, more radical Black-led rival organizations.

Post their openly communist lyrics.

They're into Cornelius Castoriadis I believe.

>>11007
Exactly, Cornelius Castoriadis and the Situationists basically. Castoriadis was a huge influence on Guy Debord's political thought, along with György Lukács and Henri Lefebvre.

Laetitia Sadier was asked once:
>If you were going on a cross country road trip and could bring a long any three people in the world, who would they be and why?
and answered:
>I would bring Cornelius Castoriadis because we could talk about politics, economics, philosophy, psychology, planet earth, the universe, Greek poetry, languages amongst any other subject we could tackle together, and think of ways of placing them into our everyday reality. Buckminster Fuller, and how we could think of revolutionary ways to bring about wellbeing for every one living on our planet. And my friend Marie for spontaneous laughs on the way.

Castoriadis had many takes that would make virtually all /leftypol/ users seethe very hard, I have in mind one article making fun of Khrushchev so much it would make an anti-revisionist blush, he could be extremely critical of Marxism (and psychoanalysis), but he was a good reader of Marx and I think he was right to passionately defend the idea of direct democracy as it existed in Ancient Greece.
A very singular thinker, who perhaps was wrong about a few things — notably saying the tendency of the rate of profit to fall was disproven, might have seemed that way during the post-WWII boom, but in 2024, capitalism isn't the same and it seems like Marx was right in the end — but certainly worth studying, was knowledgeable about many subjects and had a good sense of humor.

On the top of my head, look at the lyrics of Ping Pong (boom and bust cycles), Slow Fast Hazel (historical materialism) or French Disko (they don't say "french disco" during the chorus but something else).

Here is an often overlooked collaboration between Stereolab and Brigitte Fontaine, who was also a big inspiration for Laetitia Sadier. They made a B-side dedicated to her called "Brigitte" a few years prior, and finally got to collaborate in 1999 during the Cobra era. If you can understand French, the lyrics are pretty funny.
Stereolab is one of my favorite 90s band, thanks Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Besides Ping Pong, Slow Fast Hazel and French Disko, there is also L'enfer des formes (political apathy), and Strobo Acceleration (feminism) in French, and Op Hop Detonation to a certain extent.
I must admit I don't pay much attention to lyrics in general, but Stereolab weren't a uni-dimensional band, they also sang about love of course (Pack Yr Romantic Mind, seems inspired by George Bataille), life (The Extension Trip) and other artists who inspired them (International Colouring Contest).
The best thing about Stereolab is their sound, their unique mix of influences of motorik rhythms, noise rock, bossa nova, lounge, space age music, among many other things, and how they were able to reinvent themselves during the 1990s.
Here is another rare track for people who already listened to their main albums, a remix of the Pastels.
