Some of the vibes are quite nice by The Neptunes. Haven't heard much by them though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
that's cool, I like to hear that. Shows that the influence is not just running one way, that while a lot of these electronic cats are copying the neptunes, the neptunes are checking the electronic side as well. |

i read an interview where elijah wood said he likes squarepusher and some other warp sutff too. thats pretty cool, gives him a bit more cred as a person. saw some great stuff on the special features of the fellowship special edition. he seems liek a cool guy to hang out with... very warm, good sense of humor. i bet it freaks people out when hes playing bonneville occident in his trailor, though. |

Being the selfish IDM fan, I don't like it when stars say they like electronica, because if it happens enough, you invariably have the utter-waste-of-life piece of shit fans that will start listening to a certain style of music because "dreamy elijah wood likes it!!!!1111" That's cool that he likes it but he's got an obligation as a true fan to not spread that shit around too much ;D |

i wasn't aware that the job of a true fan is to make sure that no one else knows it :P |

dude: its people like you who help bury good art. period. |

Hmm.. I didn't realize that me feeling this way burries an artist that there is already a large following for. If you want Squarepusher to show up on billboards and be available in Walmart, then suit yourself. I would much rather less people find out about him than have his stuff turn up with the commercialized dross of the rest. |

|
you dont like any popular music then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's not what I'm saying (though for the most part the music I listen to isn't usually considered popular). Electronica, in my opinion, is one of the last genres to not feel the swift and icy hand of corruption. I just don't want it to become yet another genre where artists that belong to it can get McDonalds endorsements and that it becomes "cool" to listen to. Whenever people are listening to music just because it is considered "cool", in my opinion they might as well just listen to dogfarts because it's not music they're after.... |

anyone remember tad from neighbours listening to squarepusher (the character in the show, not the guy who played him) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you saying there was a show called "Neighbors listening to squarepusher"? That's insane, where did it aire? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"it becomes "cool" to listen to" its wether you like it or not imo im not sure i know what you mean and im sure electronic artists dont want popularity...for some reason |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha no, i think my grammar fucked up, theres a show called neighbours. and one of the characters borrowed go plastic off a character called tad. i remember him sayin 'here's your squarepusher cd back' or something like that, and it was a copy of go plastic i think, coulda been a earlyer one cos it was a while ago |

I know, it should be whether or not you like it, but I've known people who only started liking certain bands or music once it was "all the rage" (ie became cool) at my school.. That whole mentality really just annoys me.. And besides this factor, I just dont want to see electronica ruined by advertisements and commercialism, because in my opinion it does ruin it somewhat. Like Ceri said, it's the image you have mentally of them that is destroyed once you know they are doing advertisements for clothing lines. |

oh haha, well that's still pretty funny that it was in a show. But this show aired in the UK I'm guessing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's australian but they show it in the uk, but it's a few months behind, it's just a shitty soap but it's been on longer than i've been alive |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
oh hahaha, squarepusher in a soap opera... this is too good. :D |
||||||||
|
|

"I've known people who only started liking certain bands or music once it was "all the rage" (ie became cool)" That really isn't much more silly than not liking certain bands or music anymore once it becomes cool. I agree completely with tolstoyed. |

if i was you, i wouldn't worry too much about what other people like (or say they like).. or why they like it. so long as you know your own mind. and when aphex twin has been selling tracks to ads for years to make a quick buck - i don't see how electronica can sell out. its just not designed to get popular. fashion-concious kids would have to try pretty hard to pretend to like it. its not the kind of sound you can just let wash over you. |

Fuck the NEPTUNES, they are ripping of the lesser know electronica Artist....FUCK THEM HARD ! |

Timbaland is a great fan of Bjorks JOGA track,,,,(I can't blame him as it's a killer tune...)... Overall, I'm happy to see the best bits of "IDM! moving into pop... |

I guess you're right, I'll take it easy on this subject from now on. :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
haha - you do that. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and...... don't like something that's 'odd' to make yourself special or interesting. If you like elton john then stand up and be counted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
was this advice to me? Trust me, I consider much electronica "odd," but I haven't been a member of this board for almost 2 years because I've been trying to act special ;) |
||||||||
|

i remember when you was still in nappies though :) |

err.. im lost now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i watched a documentary about bjork two hours ago, with bunch of famous musicians talking about her music...apperantly elton john is quite a fan of her music, he finds it interesting! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I remember seeing that, and than saying to myself "did he just say squarepusher?.... nah,.. must be my imagination" |
||||||||
|
|

|

zephyr: you REALLY think squarepusher will EVER sell that much? you're a fool if you do. every semi-popular movement in art and music EVER that has contained abstract or surreal tendencies has ALWAYS maintained the interest of a strong minority presence. meaning: even if EVER boy toy on the planet loved squarepusher and promoted the crap out of him... he would NEVER be popular. plus: if you believe in good art, you would know it won't be corrupted... even by popularity. |

|
I like Squarepusher and the Neptunes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right, who cares really if music is popular... I like to think I like music because I like it... I personally find it cool whenever I see an aphex twin video on muchmusic back home... music shouldn't be about coolness or whatever, it should be about feeling and what effects you... I LOVE Hall and Oates... I really do, and I don't care... I also love Autechre and Squarepusher... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i thought it was great when i heard dave grohl on mtv bitching about how come to daddy wasnt in the top 100 videos list or something. its nice to know that some people can recognise good art when they see it. gives me more respect for those people. |
||||||||

I find the statement "he's got an obligation as a true fan to not spread that shit around too much" to contain a dangerous amount of faggotry |

If aphex put some lyical vocals and cut a few of the abrasive segments out of windowlicker it could have shot through the charts. Success in art is about the suprises. All because you have abstract or surreal tendencies in your music doesn't mean if you tweaked it a little it wouldn't have broad appeal. |

You're all MISSING the point! I listen to the music I do because I LIKE it, exactly what you guys are telling me to do. I was merely commenting on some people I've met that listen to certain music because it makes them cooler in their little cliques and circles (or because "stars" listen to it or endorse it). I admit its too much a longshot to ever worry about my favorite idm artists selling out. As for the comment (made by myself) about being selfish, it isn't to say that I don't spread IDM around. On the contrary, I do EVERY time I get a chance to show it to someone who I think might actually understand it. Maybe you all should read my posts. In the event that you did so, you might see that my fear is that electronica becomes commercialized, not that more people begin listening to it. |

who cares what those people do? i don't. even if pusher got INSANELY popular, eventually that popularity would decline back to the status he's at now, once the trendies got bored with it. so nothing changes. |

look for pharrell to sing on the remix to "f-train" on ultravisitor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) seriously though, who gives a shit if a famous person likes the same artist you like? what, are famous people (including musicians) supposed to all listen to top 40? get a clue.. |
||||||||

Monoid: are you the dork who handed his tracks over to the Neptunes without copyright? that guys was a dumbass...watch out! the Neptunes are listening! peace. |
