I love how the latest gen of guitarists joke about “boomer bends”, which absolutely infuriates guys that, IDK. Still want to be seen as Eric Clapton or some shit?

I know the octatrack is powerful box, but I have to say that I rarely see people making songs that I enjoy with it. The idea of changing scenes with the cross fader initially seemed interesting to me, but I don’t feel like I’ve really seen it put to great use.

I listened to their record quite lot last year. They are playing in my city two weeks from now. The gig is free for some reason, so I will definitely go…
Not a fan of post-rock; the last I liked was second album by Red Sparowes 15 years ago…

I was unnaturally obsessed with this song. Must’ve heard it hundreds of times travelling on the Tube. Something about the bassline is just awesome.

Red sparowes are one of the best to do it .
Yes, the debut is great as well. This track was so massive live… I just tend to prioritize albums that introduced me to given band… Or, in this case, concert on tour to “Every Red Heart…” If I recall correctly I even didn’t hear single note by them when I headed to the venue that evening. It was just friend’s recommendation. I escaped from work and travelled 250 km by train to be there. It was my birthday. Maybe that’s why I love that record so much…

Making music alone is like the best thing that ever happened to me. And pretty much all of my bandmates ever were totally cool!

(Replying directly) I hear ya, I just always found that my bedroom producing benefitted a lot from playing in bands and being in production duos outside my solipsistic reality, which doesn’t describe my current situation, unfortunately, having moved countries. Feel like I’m missing something.

I mean, as much as I love and appreciate Dilla’s genius, I have no desire to spend £500 so I can waste countless hours trying and failing to make my dusty lofi boom bap vinyl crackly study at home beats swing like that.

In any sense?
Speech is fun
Subtle textures are fun
Sometimes it’s fun to drastically recontextualize a loop
Sampling hits can be an absolutely awful drag though 
I think it’s the guitars in it because
Guitars… I just don’t get it…

Side chain and simplistic beat repeats are cringey to me, in the same vein as barbed wire tattoos, upturned collars, too much cologne, or duck face.
