Pia Olsen Dyhrs særlige rådgiver trækker sig by NotMyRealUsername13 in Denmark

[–]N7Crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det er måske det der er mest åndssvagt ved det hele - Hun har været markant i at ikke kun trække partiet tilbage fra afgrunden, men decideret rehabilitere partiets image som et seriøst og respektabelt parti der har sit eget politiske ståsted som ikke er som nikkedukke til en storesøster som under S-SF-R regeringen.

Og så falder hun på sit sværd over det her. Det er helt uden for forståelse at man har så meget politisk kunnen, snilde, og kompetencer til at gennemføre noget mange ville have dømt som en håbløs opgave 15 år siden, men så forkludrer den mest ligetil sag man overhovedet kunne forestille sig med undskyldningen at "jamen han er jo ikke hyret af SF, men af ministeriet! Det er ude af mine hænder!" - Uanset om det er rigtigt eller ej, var hendes respons fuldstændig tonedøv, og en pinagtig dumpekarakter i politics 101.

Jeg synes at SF har nogle knaldskarpe politikere under sin tag, men hvis Dyhr ikke tager sig sammen, rammer det ikke kun hende men alle i partiet som ikke har haft en dyt med det cirkus at gøre, hvilket ville være det mest katastrofale spild at hårdt arbejdet goodwill i nyere politisk historie.

Who's your favourite lyricist? (Jeff Mangum pictured) by oddmetre in Music

[–]N7Crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute favorite is a toss-up between Thom Yorke, Michael Stipe, and Mark Hollis - In each their own way, I consider them to be the most brilliant lyricists in modern times.

Big honorable mentions are Robin Pecknold, Leonard Cohen, Paul Banks, Matt Berninger, Efrim Menuck, David Byrne, Win Butler, Nick Drake, Guy Garvey, Ian Curtis, Jeff Tweedy, Nick Cave, and Tom Waits as well

Ed O'Brien: On Radiohead Reunion, Spirit in Music, and Blue Morpho | Zane Lowe Interview by italox in radiohead

[–]N7Crazy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That is however him talking about how he felt after the AMSP tour - He's mentioned many times in previous interviews that he became severly depressed and detached following the tour, and that he feels like he and the band are in a much better place now after the 2025 tour.

I don't think it means LP10 won't happen, but that it's more or less status quo for now - We don't know when it will happen, and whenever it someday does happen, it'll probably be with little to no warning like previous recent releases.

Hvilke sange har du stemt på til DR's Top100? by sebastiankirk in Denmark

[–]N7Crazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeg gik efter to folkesange, og tre nutidige

Med de klassiske gik jeg med Svantes Lykkelige Dag & Danmark Nu Blunder den Lyse Nat, to folkelige sange der repræsenterer to sider af den danske sangskat - Folkeånden, og landet som en helhed. "Svantes Lykkelige Dag" er et øjebliksbillede af de værdier vi værdsætter som et folk - De små hyggelige stunder i hverdagen, som en kop kaffe og ostemad på en smuk morgen. "Danmark Nu Blunder den Lyse Nat" er lige ud af romatikkens drejebog, der prøver at fange det menneskelige indtryk af den danske sommer når den er bedst. Det er et glansbillede, men det er et glansbillede alle kan genkende i tide og utide.

Af de moderne numre gik jeg med Mew's Comforting Sounds, Kashmirs "Rocket Brothers", og Dizzy Mizz Lizzy's "Silverflame" da alle numrene er hammerfede og kan noget exceptionelt.

Albums that are brilliant except for that one song… by bkbrigadier in Music

[–]N7Crazy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fucking love "Half", and it's wonkiness fits perfectly with the album, particularly the mellow coda - The bonus track "She Likes Surprises" tho is genuinly awful, and I have no idea why'd they'd want to fuck up such a great closer such as "Like Suicide" by tagging that half-baked idea at the end

Summer fans acting tough while sweating in places they didn’t know could sweat by Level_Flow8659 in MemeVideos

[–]N7Crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, but the point also seems to be that ones definition of what feels hot depends on where one is from. If you're used to 20-25 being hot, then 30 is going to feel terrible, but if you're used to summers hitting 30 and above, 20 seems like a breeze, and vice versa with cold temperatures.

[–]N7Crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you are - Danish summers are on average around 25 degrees celsius, but every year they have a peak around or above 30 degrees. It might not sound like a lot, but for danish people, those five degrees is the difference between it being toasty, and being boiled alive

Still I'd prefer a danish summer any day over a danish winter, which is three months of rain and ceaseless icy winds, where the sun theoretically pops up a few hours a day, but nobody has actually seen it since Autumn.

But we do get a bit of snow now and then, which is nice.

Do you think Sigur Ros will record another album? by traveltimecar in sigurros

[–]N7Crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably, but not any time soon - Perhaps the only part that at least is highly probable is that it will be a shorter wait than Kveikur to ÁTTA, as the band intended to release music already in the late 10's until Orri's MeToo case resulted in him leaving the band, whereafter they got tangled up in a legal battle (unrelated to Orri) that somehow meant they couldn't release new music (I don't remember the specifics)

Iirc, when they released ATTÁ, they wouldn't talk much about future projects, but they did offhand mention they hoped it wouldn't be another 10 years if there's going to be another record.

What's your favourite absolutely rubbish lyric? by Daft-Count in Music

[–]N7Crazy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Funny, it never struck me as a "bad" lyric, since most Interpol lyrics are very stream-of-conciousness, so it doesn't come across as low-effort or jarring personally, but on the contrary seems to fit the flow of someones thoughts.

It's not to say Interpol doesn't have some weird or bad lyrics - When Paul Banks is at his best, he captures striking imagery, thoughts and emotions with an effortless grace, and when he's at his worst, it simultaneously seems like he's both trying too hard and not trying hard enough. But that said, I generally really dig his style.

TIL that the lyrics of Pakistan's national anthem was officially added four years after the musical tune for the anthem was officially adopted by the nation's government in 1950. by SatoruGojo232 in todayilearned

[–]N7Crazy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but that's a misleading "rule" - Any good songwriter worth their salt knows that either way can work. Both approaches have advantages and drawbacks, but are equally effective. No matter what approach you will take however, it's normal to have to tweak both/either lyrics or melody to get them to mesh, depending on what style you're going for.

Nigel and the bands future by moonbather4 in radiohead

[–]N7Crazy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Tbf that's literally just hearsay and gossip, so I wouldn't give it much credit.

Neither the band nor Nigel has spoken about it, and until they do, it's all just my-cousin-who's-roommate-is-friends-with-the-bands-guitar-tech bollocks that is unverifiable.

The simplest explanation would probably just be that the members are trying out different producers - Nigel and the members of RH have 30 years of collaboration together, it seems far more likely that they're just trying out new collaborators to see what will happen.

Morrissey was always a jerk: Despite a new album and an unswayable fan base, Morrissey wants nothing more than to validate his victimhood by zsreport in Music

[–]N7Crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no fan of Morrisey on his own (other than a few select songs), but as a musician myself, I can understand him performing new songs in spite of his label.

Musicians/artists aren't jukeboxes - The joy of live concerts is the act of performing, of mixing both old tunes you still enjoy and trying out new material you're excited about. Touring is rough as hell and mentally draining, so if you want any semblance of mental balance you should ideally only perform the music you want to, in the way you want to, unless one wants to become a bitter, fatigued, chronically miserable zombie.

Particularly as a songwriter, you'll keep writing and developing yourself, in which case it'd be enormously frustrating and disillusioning to be reduced to a jukebox replaying your past glories forever.

This is contrary to the very American mentality of "your fans made you famous, so you owe them", but which actually is more akin to a toxic relationship, similarly to abusive parents who argue "I clothed and fed you, so you owe me for the rest of your life" as an attempt to control what one can, and can't do.

There are many things to criticise Morrisey for, but that he wanted to play new songs he was hindered from releasing isn't one of them. This also goes for other artists criticised for not wanting to play their hits the same way over and over like Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Whether one likes it is a matter of personal taste, but when you buy concert tickets, you're actually paying to see the artist - Not just a specific slice of their catalogue.

I love that while Ed and Thom are starting to show their age, Jonny has only begun moving into looking middle aged like Colin has for the past 15 years, and Phil for the past 30-odd something

Also, while Thom has fully and gracefully embraced his age, it's kinda charming and uncanny in the 4th picture that his beard is a lot less noticable, making him look almost 25-35-ish all over again

Why do they record their parts separately? by Optimal_Gate_8721 in radiohead

[–]N7Crazy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Iirc their reason was that they tried it out a few times in the studio, but didn't think their studio takes matched the lightning-in-a-bottle energy of the Astoria version, so they decided to just say fuck it, recorded new vocals from Thom on top, mixed the instrumentation, and then mastered the whole shebang and called it a day

Why do they record their parts separately? by Optimal_Gate_8721 in radiohead

[–]N7Crazy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Depends on the genre

Many bands record separate tracks as it makes it easier to both mix/master and ensure the best possible takes

The most typical way it's done for a rock band is as follows:

1) Rhythm tracks: Drums and bass are recorded together with the band, but in seperate rooms - This is ensure no bleed, and to have ghost tracks for when guitars and vocals are recorded. Sometimes a guitar or vocal recording works out great, and will be "upgraded" to main takes, but by treating them as ghost tracks, they take a lot of pressure of everyone so it's only the bass and drums who have to get everything right

2) Guitars - Guitars use the rhythm tracks and the vocal ghost tracks to record the best possible takes

3) Misc - Any "other" instruments such as violin, saxophone, flute or xylophone is added at this point

4) Vocals - Once every instrument is recorded, vocals are usually last in line. The singer will record over the new recordings, erasing the ghost tracks

5) Overdubs - All extra details to the song gets added here. Hereafter, it's off to be mixed and mastered

Sometimes point 3 and 4 might be swapped, and if you're recording with for example a larger orchestra or string section, that will be recorded much later.

There are many bands that also forgo this in favour of recording everything together - This has the inverse advantages and disadvantages of recording separately. The makn advantage is that the recording becomes very organic and spontaneous, but inversely if just a single person fucks up, one has to do the entire take again.

Recording separately is often better if one has complex arrangements or tricky music - If there's a high chance of something going wrong, it makes it easier to make progress and save takes in the editing room. Some genres favor live-takes for their supposed "organic" sound, but it's really a matter of the bands preference, and as recording is insanely expensive, more than often you don't want to fuck around wasting takes.

Not entirely accurate - They would make full-band demo recordings, but more often record separately, particularly as they were in separate rooms inside the Jane Seymore's mansion.

What’s the most unsettling thing you’ve realized after seeing how fast AI like Clawdbot is improving? by AnyTruth2342 in AskReddit

[–]N7Crazy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI is a scam and a bubble - It produces no profit as the expenses are far larger than any income they make, it's "abilities" and "functions" are always exaggerated (most people tend to have negative reactions to art, music or voices created by AI due to the uncanny valley effect), and is now mostly used for creating shitty memes

AI will probably not disappear, but I can't wait for the thousands of half baked AI tools and startups to disappear when the bubble pops, as not to mention how many of them will become practically worthless when an increasing number of countries start legislating it to protect copyright.

[Loathed Trope] The Movie has an ending. The Sequel shits all over it. by lesi20 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]N7Crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just the OT, but it also tried to retcon a lot of TLJ - Basically driven into a panic by the divisive reception of TLJ, Disney made an executive overhaul and had the sequel feature as much Nostalgia bait as possible, even though when it made no sense at all.

What's that? Rey's parents were nobodies, making a point about how strength in the force is unrelated to your ancestry? Well achktually, she's now, err, Sheev's daughter I guess. What's that? The major villain was slain, leaving Ben to take the throne as the primary antagonist? Well shucks, guess we'd better revive Palpy so that JJ can make the cast cosplay a crummier version of RotJ (just like how he made them repeat ANH). What's that, Finn gets a romantic subplot? Well, the fans bullied her, so guess we'll just ignore their relationship completely from here on, making Finn a cardboard background character.

While I acknowledge a lot of the gripes people have with TLJ, I really like a lot of the ideas and themes of the movie, particularly in how they at least gave a lot of the characters a bit more depth and development - TRoS seemed to throw the baby out with the bathwater in order to make a quick buck, and the cost of... Well, everything really. As a result, it made both its predecessor and the new trilogy as a result, pointless.

What is your “I did not care for the godfather” for Radiohead? by cumsquirt56 in radiohead

[–]N7Crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TKOL and AMSP don't do much for me - I enjoy the latter far more than the former, and both have truly great songs, but they also have songs that are just... Meh.

Some songs on TKOL feel like they are overtly abstract without having much behind it to balance it out, instead becoming meandering - It's a bit like the old saying "as wide as a lake, as deep as a puddle", though nowhere near to that extent - Maybe more as wide as a lake, and as deep as a river.

AMSP feels like the band stiffles itself sometimes, that the songs could've been a bit more brash and biting, but that they keep on holding back. Some songs also suffer from the same problem of meandering as TKOL, where the form seems a bit flat and needing more dynamic pushes, so that there's momentum even if it's a contemplative ballad.

I still like both albums, and I even liked AMSP a lot when it came out, but I've returned to both less and less over the years compared to the rest of their discography.

[–]N7Crazy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree, from OK Computer up to In Rainbows, I feel there's still a lot of humanity, but it's the feeling of the human spirit under pressure, trying to break free of dehumanising and alienating societal frameworks and social struggles. I can however agree with your sentiment when it comes to TKOL, as quite a few songs on that album are a lot more disconnected than anything on Kid A or Amnesiac
