Music

I like improvised music but often it's kinda throw away. Sorta ends up sounding like some 90s jam band playing the same riff for 27 minutes. This song, however, is a keeper. Good morning or afternoon smoke track.

And this is just holy fuck
 
This thread is now over 10 years old. Quite a few of the songs and artists I discovered from this thread are still very much in rotation for me.

In that time the way people regard and consume music has completely changed. For much of the world access to music has become ubiquitous, and revenue can now be generated from each listen. Ironically none of the technological advances and mountains of user data has made streaming services any good at turning you on to new music. The best way to discover new stuff is still just talking to friends. The number of artist is becoming so vast that just about every person you meet is guaranteed to be into something you would very much like yet have never heard of.

Another thing that has changed in the last 10 years this thread has been active (although this change has been building for decades) is that it's now super easy, almost trivial, for talented people to make music. The time, money and effort needed to produce a really good song is a small fraction of what it used to be.

Case in point, this guy likes to make videos on his youtube channel where he creates a song with the help of his live chat audience in the span of just a few hours. It's just vocals, guitar work and software. Often they turn out to be keepers and worthy of rotation.

Here is where he wanted to make a song in the style of Slipknot. Definitely something that could have turned up on any Slipknot album.

And here he wanted to make a Nu-Metal song that might have been played on the radio in the 2000s. Sorta Linkin Park/Disturbed kinda thing.

Obviously it still takes a degree of talent and mastery, but perhaps even that will one day be trivial with the help of AI. I think there will be a day where everyone just makes their own highly self-styled music and bumps it in their cars and homes. Concepts like "pop star" and "song of the summer" will become antiquated. Music will become a much more individual experience.

Nifty stuff here

Tonight’s strains are Black Diamond and Tiger Cake grown by a great friend of mine. 2 hours ago I put a nug of each into my grinder and had a hoot.

2. Hours.

Now that I’m here, though, I’ll definitely have another bowl.
