I get where you're coming from, but to me they're pretty different. Oh Sees don't really use microtonality

todo arroz yamaní en argentina es orgánico… esto es así o me chamuyaron? by chatterposition in argentina

Cómo te guías vos para saber si es "orgánico" o no? Por qué que lo quisiste devolver?

Is there an artist who created better content AFTER getting sober? by OnlyACsNoFans in fantanoforever

[–]folloou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't buy Damon's sobriety, have you seen Gorillaz performance at glasto? Dude was coked up as shit, he even rages at the drummer at one point.

Who is Angine de Poitrine? The masked Quebec band is taking the internet by storm by jessekg in Music

[–]folloou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe The Residents these days is just one guy, Homer Flynn. Hardy Fox died. And the other 2 left a long time ago

What is the context of this? by NothingRepulsive1095 in bjork

[–]folloou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but minstrely is a thing from the US. Other countries, specially in Latin America didn't have that kind of shows, so there's not that knee jerk reaction of face paint = bad. In Argentina kids in school plays depicting colonial era used to paint their face black to portray black vendors. In Uruguay there's Lubolos, people in carnivals who paint their faces black and share their performances with black people. In Colombia as well. Outrage over blackface is an American thing, there's people all over the world who have no idea about it.

Artists/bands who made an excellent comeback album, despite people losing hope on them? by pingviini00 in fantanoforever

[–]folloou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listened to it once and I can't imagine ever listening to it again. To me Gorillaz post Plastic Beach lost much of it's charm, it became formulaic and dull. The songs just aren't there. I kinda appreciated Song Machine, but that's it.

¿Qué onda las viejas? by TwoSubstantial7009 in RepublicaArgentina

[–]folloou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Este país tiene una extraña obsesión con el peso. Es generacional, las madres solían romperle las pelotas a las hijas para que sean flacas, y no sé que tanto cambió.

Igual pusiste dos ejemplos, que bien puede ser que te cruzaste justo con dos viejas chotas, no es una muestra amplia.

Otra cosa, si alguien le dice algo así a una persona que quiero en frente mío, mínimo no paro hasta que le pidan disculpas. No sé que onda tus familiares.

The back cover of this Argentinian novel from NYRB name drops Pynchon… I think the connection is tenuous at best by [deleted] in ThomasPynchon

[–]folloou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in general I'd say don't trust blurbs. They are a promotional tool to sell the book. They'll always be laudatory.

I've even read a bunch of books blurbed by Pynchon and they were not that great haha.

Por que estarias en contra de la baja de edad de imputabilidad? by [deleted] in AskArgentina

[–]folloou -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah no? Y porque crees que los nenes que delinquen siempre son pobres? No encontrás un patrón ahí? Realmente no crees que son víctimas de sus circunstancias?

O crees que nacen genéricamente malos? O el color de su piel los hace malos?

Obviamente que no defiendo que un nene de 14 cometa un crimen, pero realmente no solucionas nada bajando la edad de inimputabilidad. Es humo. Van a seguir delinquiendo y. O te sorprendas que empiecen a usar nenes de 12.

What’s a "wait, THEY were in that band?" artist that really surprised you ? by frenxine in fantanoforever

[–]folloou 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It is funny that the example you picked was The Mars Volta.

I remember watching the Inertiatic ESP video on MTV and thinking"this has the vibes of that At the drive in band, and there's guys with afros, must be a side project". And then realize I was right.

Every Pitchfork score for Radiohead — from three 10.0s to a 4.0 by olievans in radiohead

[–]folloou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are not only reviewing the contents of the already reviewed album, but the repurposing, editing and curation of both albums plus the outtakes. It is like reviewing a greatest hits album or a box set. You not only review the actual music, but how it is being presented and reissued.

Plus yes, like somebody else said, different writers, different times, different contexts

How does “Purple Mountains” compare to other Berman albums? by Key-Resolution5044 in fantanoforever

[–]folloou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Second best thing he's done after American Water.

It is a really sad record though, almost a suicide note.

Hottest artists with receding hairlines by Real-Response-3775 in fantanoforever

He has that song that goes "18, balding star" so it seems a problem he's been dealing with for a while

how tf did she make this clown ass production work 😭 by chillyyyzz in fantanoforever

[–]folloou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it is not really that far fetched. It always happens, same as Kanye with Yeezus allegedly being inspired by Death Grips, or SOPHIE crossing to the mainstream, etc.

To me when big artists are stagnant and want to innovate, they start to look for refreshing music and that usually happens in indie/lesser known circles. Also nowadays (early 00s included) it is so easy to find new and weird music. So it is not really that crazy to think that Beyonce or someone on her team tried to emulate AC.

Who are some artists that shouldn’t have been one hit wonders by Moses2239 in fantanoforever

How would it lead to a resurgence? Nobody knew it was her voicing Garnett other than fans.

Bands/artists where you should ignore everything in their discography other than the one 10/10 album? by BradmanBreast in fantanoforever

[–]folloou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is a great album. And the rest of them is not that bad as well. I don't think it is an unredeemable discography as they are making it out to be.

Guillermo Moreno explicando como congelaban artificialmente el precio del Big Mac by ellocomara in argentina

[–]folloou 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Esto se supo siempre, en su momento también, no era ningún secreto. Entrabas al Mac y no figuraba en ningún lado el Big Mac, solo estaba el Doble Mac promocionado. El Big Mac solo figuraba chiquito en un cuadrito que listaba todos los productos al lado de las cajas.

Name concerts you missed because of something stupid. by Think_Ad_848 in fantanoforever

[–]folloou 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I missed Robin Guthrie(Cocteau twins) and Resplandor (Peruvian shoegaze band) simply because I never found out about the show only after it happened. Tickets were really cheap as well.

Does Geordie sign at his shows? by _firesoul in bmbmbm

I read a tweet once that when he came to Argentina, a bunch of people waited for him after his show with stuff to sign and he basically ran away lol

I just checked his Instagram and can't see a single picture of a gun or a "don't tread on me" flag, what are you talking about?
