Should I grab tickets to see Kishi Bashi? They are $25 USD. I haven't really payed much attention to the music but I know several of you here really like him.
"I was never worried that synthesizers would replace musicians. First of all, you have to be a musician in order to make music with a synthesizer. One always has to remember these days where the garbage pail is, because it's so easy to make sounds, and to put sounds together into something that appears to be music, but it's just as hard as it always was to make good music." - Robert Moog, born this day in 1934.
As much as I appreciate when an artist tries to be environmental and use recycled vinyl, I have yet to ever get a recycled vinyl pressing that sounds good. New Billie album sounds like the whole right channel is lined with a sheet of paper. Oh well.
Thank god this Apple list thing is done. Discourse around ranking art is always silly but when you are arguing every album ever made against each other it’s just an embarrassing clusterfuck.
