The Smashing Tunes Thread (Part 1)

Theyā€™d have gotten their influences from a giant fucking Moog synth, Karl Stockhausen and a bag of drugs Iā€™d imagine.

Hey itā€™s a free country farmer. You go and like what you like.

Ah lovely

More Randy. One day Iā€™ll fly away. Youā€™ll probably prefer someone else version there @farmerinthecity

Iā€™m in an awful mood tonight, questioning the point of life and the likesā€¦ I canā€™t stop listening to music thatā€™s depressing the head off meā€¦ I see a darkness by Bonnie Price Billy nearly had me jumping out the top window.

There is no point to life. Accepting that is very hard but very beneficial. We are pattern seeking apes, we are always looking for meaning in things. Just accept thereā€™s no purpose, meaning, point, whatever. You are alive, enjoy living. Out of the 4.8 billion years the universe has been around you were here at the same time as David Bowie graced the planet. Think about that, you could devote a chunk of time to revisiting his canon of work. Have you listened to Station to Station all the way through? A chronicle of the descent into madness. Every song on it was recently voted in his top 40 songs.

Just donā€™t listen to Black Star.

Have to listened to it all the way through yet? Obviously thereā€™s a lot of hype around the timing, but on repeated listens itā€™s a slow burning classic. If youā€™re a fan expect it to move up fairly rapidly in the favorites column. Right now I would have it in the top 5, and I have read a few arguments on line that it coukd capture #1 in time.

Unreal. A staple tune on my drive home over the illegitimate border.

To get really snobby Murphy has the whole repetiveness drone of La Monte Young going on as well.

Astounding piece of work.

Nice article on them reforming for Coachella in the Indo today.
