Absolute Classic Masterpieces: February 2007
http://absoluteclassicmasterpieces.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 28. So, Simon Reynolds and gang are slowly drifting away from the hauntology discussion and beginning to riff on "hipster metal.". I have noticed an increased metal presence on the intertubes lately, but I really don't feel like it's a full-fledged phenomenon at this point. Most of the discourse. Appears to revolve around the band Sunn O) ). And the occurrence of one influential DJ mixing metal with dubstep. Look at a band like Sisters of Mercy, who sounded very metal in their early d...

Absolute Classic Masterpieces: The Electronic Score
http://absoluteclassicmasterpieces.blogspot.com/2007/03/electronic-score.html
Friday, March 23. You're working your way through a maze, eating pellets. You turn a corner and come face to face with a ghost. You turn around to escape, but another ghost blocks your way. You have nowhere to go. The ghosts move in for the kill and you collapse, cursing, "Damn, they killed me again! Earlier this week I watched 8 BIT. His classic book on the workings and visual grammar of sequential art. Essentially, McCloud explains that the more basic and abstracted a character design, the more rea...

Absolute Classic Masterpieces: Wanted: More Failure
http://absoluteclassicmasterpieces.blogspot.com/2007/02/wanted-more-failure.html
Thursday, February 15. During lunch at a local sushi bar yesterday I was treated to some of Queen's greatest hits. Once that disc finished, KLF's The White Room. Started playing. After a couple of minutes, one of the young assistants behind the bar asked to nobody in particular, "What is this we're listening to? And then a few moments later, "Is this the KLFA? I should probably just be grateful that he recognized the music at all. Listening to "What Time Is Love? Guidebook, The Manual. Then The White Room.

Monday, March 19. We Play the Songs and You Do the Talking. Really, I'm not dead.

Absolute Classic Masterpieces: Of Hoaxes and Context
http://absoluteclassicmasterpieces.blogspot.com/2007/02/of-hoaxes-and-context.html
Tuesday, February 20. Of Hoaxes and Context. And track the extent of the hoax on Hatto's Wikipedia entry. But I am most intrigued by something New Yorker. Critic Alex Ross wrote on his blog. He wrote, "You have here the beginnings of an excellent case study in how reputations and mythologies affect musical perception.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Formerly known as minimal robot.

Friday, April 07, 2006. Arab Strap, Great Scott Boston 4.6.06. I like it less and less. It is good but I cannot listen to it without skipping some songs unlike.

Absolute Classic Masterpieces: Discipline
http://absoluteclassicmasterpieces.blogspot.com/2007/03/discipline.html
Monday, March 5. While chatting online with a friend today about recording strategies, I was reminded of another Eno-ism: "An arrangement is when someone stops playing." This idea of reduction crops up more than once. Describing a Bowie concert, Eno writes that the best bits were when fewer people were playing. And in the liner notes for the extended reissue of All This Useless Beauty. Elvis Costello praises Eno for his ruthless application of the Erase button. April 18, 2007 3:26 PM. Formerly known as m...
