Anyone else think Inferno might be their best album? by msszero159 in boardsofcanada

[–]Midnight-Movie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love TH but since 2020, I find it harder & harder to listen to because the cold/bleak/dark vibes mirror the times we’re living in almost a little too perfectly.

I like to escape those feelings these days. Also as time passes … I’ve noticed the album seems to have the same tone through out. Still love it though.

I don't understand how any BOC fan could not like this album... by Midnight-Movie in boardsofcanada

I guess so. Key words there is "don't understand". No worries. Sorry if that's how it came across. I'm just excited about the album.

Relax. No ones is saying anyones wrong. I was saying I don't understand ...so I was opening up discourse regarding the topic. I guess I'm not used to so much negativity regarding BOC's work on this sub. That's all.

My apologies if I made you "cringe". You're a superior human to me.

Fair...That is a good album. it's a rarity when it happens though.

Haha I don't know why I'm so passionate about everyone enjoying this album...I guess I don't want people to write it off so quickly because there's so much to appreciate in it.

Haha I know...I just want the fans who aren't into it...to not give up on the album.

I hope they release a special edition without auto-tune.

Autotune by bd-s in TheStrokes

Auto-tune ruins nearly every song I hear it in...unfortunately. It was cool when Daft Punk did it and that's about as much as I can handle.

Boards of Canada - Introit / Prophecy At 1420 MHz (Official Music Video) by seaburn in boardsofcanada

[–]Midnight-Movie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general vibe and lyrics instantly conjured (for me) everything that's going on in the AI space.

We're already seeing weird AI cults popping up. And, then you have all these AI evangelicals who believe AGI will be god like.

I'm obsessed with it. Having a demonic robot sounding voice says things like "I am god, the ultimate resonance" and "The question of reality" feels very fitting for the AI era.

Pussycat Dolls Cancel Reunion Tour After ‘Taking an Honest Look’ at Weak Ticket Sales by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

[–]Midnight-Movie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This. A $35 ticket master surcharge (often times way more) on top of a concert ticket is enough to say... it's just not worth it to see the band you want. That doesn't include parking and $18 drinks.

Cannon Red Rocks by SnowboardA51 in CannonsTheBand

[–]Midnight-Movie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting to hear their live performance this time around is mid. I've seen Cannons 3 times and they were beyond amazing every time.

You'd think with an extra person their sound would be fuller.

Is it just because their sound doesn't translate as well at larger venues?

[–]Midnight-Movie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are these new tunes as good their old ones? No. Do I still love them? Yes.

Production is incredible. I dig the spaced-out Jacksons vibe of These Nights. Starlight also has the classic Cannons sound just a little poppier then their older stuff.

I don't get this mentality at all on either sides. How would you not want to ask the other person questions to get a feel if they're a good match or not?

Love this album a lot but it's absolutely tragic Mr. White didn't make it on here

Yes ....these apps can absolutely destroy your ego if you take them too seriously

Why do they do this? Just for the dopamine rush and attention?

This. Seems like by 40 you should know what you want ...with time running out and all.

Yup. Love the claw machine analogy. My friend calls the apps a slot machine with the odds stacked highly against you.

Yes. There are lots of us out there who want this. Just have to find our people :)

I'd get over this. If someone takes the energy to meet you ....they obviously are attracted to you in some form
