afx (and 'pusher/autechre, etc) have spoiled me musically! i cant listen to normal music anymore! FOR EXAMPLE: i can't listen to rock anymore.... only a select few great artists will do now, and even then.. i just dont like it as i did before! sometimes, once in a while, i feel like putting on some good old simple (insert genre of NORMAL music here) but its never as satisfying now as it used to be.... and compared to squarepusher's crazines... autechre's mechanical PER-FUCKING-FECTION, boc's dreamyness... (not to mention plaid, four tet, etc)... .....and of course, AFX's mastering of all the different aspects.. anyways, everything else pales in comparisson! like i said, except for a select few artists.... do u ever miss the old days when any music could sound good? when you could actually listen to the radio without wanting TO BREAK IT?!?!?! when you could actually TALK TO FRIENDS about music?!??!?!?!?!?!?! its like being on some special diet! |

"when you could actually TALK TO FRIENDS about music?!??!?!?!?!?!?! " Yeah i can't do that anymore hahaha!! I still listen to alot of "normal" music tho..... But i have never been able to listen to comercial radio without wanting to break it. |

You know i feel the same way too. I use to play guitar 24/7. but now i try to figure out how the hell they make music this way now...its sounds so much more interesting...But then again, i still fire up my stack and play out an entire Slayer set for myself when i wanna get old school too |

haha, i know exactly wot u mean! but i listen to LOADS now. Someone said "your getting a bit electronica now!", but i do actually listen to lots of different music. Classical, punk, hip hop, rock, electronica..... more more more. Radio is good if the stations are good. Xfm over in the UK is quite good, quite varied :-) hehe, i can relate to you tho! |

classic example: i've got a MASSIVE winamp list, but i went thru removing all the 'normal' music. I've put it all back now tho, and i feel whole again! |

"when you could actually TALK TO FRIENDS about music?!??!?!?!?!?!?! " this is one of the main reasons i hang here so much i think. |

Aminal: To tell you the truth Ive always wanted to kill the radio. There was never anything good on for me. Pop society is a one track monster that will never die. Die pop... |

My dream radio station would be this! Autechre Aphex Twin Squarepusher Jega Radiohead Sigur Ros Mogwai Chicane Over and over and over and over again. |

is it just me too or do a lot of you listen to classical music too?? I love film scores...always have but now i seem to like classical music...i'm getting mad old |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

ya, of course classical music and jazz, for sure! SOME rock... (jimi hendrix, pink floyd, radiohead, of course) a couple/few artists in most genres are good.. there's quality everywhere... but it still doesn't compare i wonder if ill ever like 'norma' music the same way again.. EVER probably not, i think |

I like slow classical / woman or men chamber choirs. I hate classical music that goes all over the place or big huge sounding 300 member choirs. Turns me off. I like small groups playing slow type stuff like Roman Catholic (but not really) type singing. I don't know what its called. Ive heard some very pretty and emotional stuff. Slow chamber music as well gets me going :) I just wish I knew some names. But I hear a good song when I hear it. |

Jazz / improvised / experimental (guys making their horns do things no normal horn would ever hope to go through (avant garde type stuff). That kind of jazz turns me on. Rumbuctious type jazz that goes all over the place almost at random turns me on as well. |

yeah...ive completely lost interest in most rock music too..though lately ive been listening to bands like stereolab and air quite a bit...though theyre not what you could really call 'normal' music...but they will probably be the closest i come to normal music again ive been wondering lately...it seems when most people get older...they listen to either the music they liked when they were young...so i figured ill prolly still be listening to this stuff when im old (which should be weird if i have children/grandchildren heheh) but since this sort of music progresses so much...i wonder if i will still listen to the newer stuff...or will i be like most old people and go "all this new stuff is crap! back in my day..we had real music...like squarepusher!" |

Just crank "You're Living All Over Me" by Dinosaur Jr to clear that IDM haze. |

Yeah, I have a lot of trouble being entertained by anything that ISN'T far out there in the musical stratosphere, now... straightforward guitars and chord progressions just don't do it for me as much, although I'm still into lots of rock. Thing I like most about electronic is the lack of lyrics to tell you what the track is about... everyone has their own ideas and visions when they hear a SAW2 track, for instance... you could make up a video in your head. With lyrics, you usually just picture what the singer is spelling out in his words, and it's usually cringe worthy... I only like probably 1% of all the lyrics I've ever heard. |

I love the electronic music i listen to, but there's a different time for all sorts of music for me, whether it be philip glass or autechre or floyd or tori amos |

I think that your overal musical experience is enhanced if you listen to different music in different ways. Too much of one thing can get very thin in the long run. It's all relative so it's best to keep things balanced IMO |

the only criteria for listening to/ buying music for me is whether it's quality or not. i mean, if it's electronic, it has to be thoughtful (in terms of structure, sounds, originality etc.) if it's punk rock, then obviously it has to ROCK eg. mc5's kick out the jams. if pop music was quality, then id listen to that, but nowadays it's usually just a rip off of something else. procol harum's 'a whiter shade of pale'. now there's a pop song. |

The radio does suck, but good call by amonbrune for that radio dreamsation. |

I can listen to tons of "normal" music, Ive been listening to this Autechre and AFX type sutff for years and it never stopped me from listening to other music.... I could care less, personally and in all honesty I have no idea what your talking about Aminal. |

i enjoy a few select blink 182 songs finally ive admitted it |

i don't really think the radio sucks - radio 1 has it's fair share of good music. john peel plays a lot of quality - excellent artists like autechre, boards and aphex have all done sessions for his show. you sometimes have to sit through something that is questionable though :) there's also other occasional gems like the skam special the other night, which was fantastiko.. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Yeah and in my city here we have shitloads of stations.. mostly suck though, but there is one at night that plays weird electronic and ive heard boc, afx and autechre there... and lots of great ambient and stuff... its really cool. |
||||||||
|

Yes of course there are great radio shows , we got some good ones in sweden to. But i think aminal was more refering to the comercial radio stations and programs that you are often forced to listen to at work places etc. |
||||||||

yo AMinal i feel the same way, its like I always listen to the samples rather than the song if you know what i mean |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have a liking for hard rock like Tool and System of a Down, but they feel like guilty pleasures... inferior to the mind blowing brilliance of Autechre and those other pretentious wankers. Classic rock, though... I'll ALWAYS love that stuff more than anything. Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks, Beach Boys, Zeppelin, Doors, Velvets, etc... |
||||||||
|

|
|
ahem |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i still like other kinds of music... i'm into squarepusher, telefon tel aviv, ministry and the hives at the moment :) i don't listen to radio. |
