Punk rock is more o lss the same thing

Kendrick is mediocre, has no quotables, and his production was pretty heavy-handed on tpab.

All genres stagnate, incorporate new elements and get refreshed into new genres.

Jazz is always popping, although I haven't seen any big recorded artists since Thundercat and Kamasi Washington, whose last studio albums came out in 2017/18

Copyright claims for "plagiarizing" music. Musicians are often forced to use melodies they don't like, but they want fane and money. That's why the music went shittier.

Elektron prices way too high for what I assume are just a membrane pad and SoC board and LCD display and in/out ports in a plastic case
Same with Teenage Engineering
Swedish assholes
Their factories are probably in China anyways

I gotta start saving up for this combo

I almost bought it when I was in high school like 14 years ago and decided not to. I regret that decision to this day.

Rickenbacker 4003 or 4001.

My problem is I already have too much and these things are so cumbersome to move. I want to get a Hammond organ and cabinet. I think the x-66. It's like the classic B3 but better.

I genuinely hate this album. /Mu/ tricked me into listening to it like, eight times, and I hated every listen.

I like this album, unironically, but sometimes the sound of this album was either funny or disgusting, due to atonality,/ or maybe Beefheart's harsh voice.

>jazz has to bop or its made by white people

the 'bop' is to make it palatable to white people, you have it backwards.

>>8491
I dont disagree with you the white people had a place in the early formation of Jazz; just that at the time of its early formation it was catergorized as 'black' and put into the narrow box; this is evidenced by the framing around the cotton club and shit we discussed earlier

>>8501
All blues music after WWII and especially Civil Rights is dogshit
Black people stopped suffering to make good music
Good for them I guess

>Adorno posting
Adorno never really hated jazz, cause he never really studied it, he was studying why popular music was popular and big band white jazz happened to be what was popular in his day
>Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Dick Jurgens
lets be honest, if you had to listen to these guys as well, you'd also think it'd suck ass compared to some of the best classical modernists such as Berg or Webern.

the thing is Adorno doesn't really hate Jazz, he hates all pop music, and the reason he hates it is because he took his work as a philosopher seriously, and he honestly took pop music seriously to the point where he couldn't deny how terrible it was. To him pop music represents a music that can be consumed and played to fit a role in society, and Adorno felt like art music shouldn't ever be exploited or used in this way, it should defy law and society.

This is by far one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

Kind of a stretch and leftists hate "lifestylists" but okay.

i want to know how chord progressions translate into what notes you actually play, specifically whether you can repeat the same chord within the progression before "moving on" (i.e. play the I chord 4 times and have it still count as the I phase of the progression, then move on to V and play it 3 times…and so on.)

basically: if i play the "C" chord on a piano 4 times, can that be the first part of an I-V-vi-IV progression (i.e. it only "progresses" when you pick a new chord, but you can play that chord over and over as much s you want), or would doing that create an "I-I-I-I" progression because you can only play the chord once.

>>12370
basically my question could be turned around to: on a guitar you can keep your hands on C and strum away while still being in the "I" part of this progression, on a piano can you keep mashing "C" in the same fashion? every time i've typed the note of a chord in a confusing way, imagine strumming the guitar or playing that chord on the piano. (i.e. Strum C, wait 2 beats, Strum C, Strum G 4 times, Play C, wait 2 beats, Play C…)

or if you like: is the key part of a chord progression playing the chord or the chord change? if you play the same chord twice, does that count as the second phase of the progression, or does it stay in the same phase until you pick a new one?

>>12373
i tried this and ran into the problem i was content with music at a much simpler level than was necessary to understand it. like, i'm happy not playing chords at all and just finding melodic versions of tunes i like. that's relaxing to sit and play but it didn't teach me anything.

Well, anon, the learning comes from analysing what you've played. Could you give an example of a melodic version of a song you like?
>basically my question could be turned around to: on a guitar you can keep your hands on C and strum away while still being in the "I" part of this progression, on a piano can you keep mashing "C" in the same fashion?
NTA but this seems like more of a piano-playing question than a theory question. I'm no pianist, but as far as I know pretty much anything goes. Listen to the piano in Mr Blue Sky, for example, which has the pianist playing straight quarter notes for most of the verse, and then something like Don't Stop Me Now, where Freddie plays it as a broken chord and does some fancy rhythmic stuff incorporating both hands. It's just about whatever fits the feel of the song.

you could play C major for as long as you want and it would still be written as I-V-vi-IV, since that denotes the chord 'changes' and not necessarily how many times each chord is played

Ooooooh, I see what you mean now. This is an interesting question, because if the chord doesn't change, it wouldn't be a progression so much as a vamp. It kind of depends on context. Like, I'd say that the verse from Ever Fallen in Love by the Buzzcocks is a chord progression, albeit a very simple one. The first chord is held for almost two bars, then another is played, then it is returned to, then the second chord is played, then a third. I'd write that progression as

vi-V-vi-V-I

I wouldn't write

vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-V-V-V

because that takes ages and is silly. If I wanted to show rhythm and meter as well as chords, I'd use a chart, either incorporating numerals or the Nashville Number System (but I don't know how that works, so don't ask)

its because theres natural talent involved anon. No matter what not everyone will be a good singer

Red Army Choir sings the traditional Scottish song "Annie Laurie". Beautiful shit, lads.

When I opened the embed I was thinking, "that better be Lilac Wine." Good job, anon.

I'm curious: is there nihilist outlaw music? Nietzschean outlaw music?

I don't know, maybe this song counts?

People say I'm no good
And crazy as a loon
'Cause I get stoned in the mornin'
I get drunk in the afternoon
Kinda like my old blue tick hound
I like to lay around in the shade
And I ain't got no money
But I damn sure got it made

…
'Cause I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
