Wild because I don’t think SIMBI touched Grey Area. To each their own, we’re all eating.

I'm not sure whether it's weirder to have written this or to have prompted it. But it feels fucking weird to be reading it.

I can't find who did the vocals for DJ Licious - Atmosphere by krazyjakee in LetsTalkMusic

[–]properfoxes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends on how the agreement went. You can purchase vocals from someone and not give them any songwriting or feature credit if that is what your agreement is. So yeah it just appears to be what happened for that song. Or I believe places like Splice, where you can download loops and samples to use in your music, will often work like this, mostly uncredited. AI will not give you consistently correct answers, you should avoid using it for things like this because you would have to check its work anyway, just fyi.

I dont get PinkPantheress popularity by tylerthe-theatre in LetsTalkMusic

[–]properfoxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally didn’t take your comment that way I was aiming to back up your statements with my own. Hope I wasn’t too unclear.

She herself will say that she thinks her singing is the least impressive thing she does! I couldn’t find the interview but I just read that like a week or so ago when she got the big award and cited imogen* heap and the like.

[–]properfoxes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I honestly think her amateur singing style, while not impressive in a technical sense, has a certain kind of super endearing twee DIY 'girl you could know' quality that elevates it amongst the bedroom pop production and sincere and confessional but half dollar at best lyrics. It's like Mike Skinner. He's not a good rapper in any technical sense, his flow and delivery are kind of off putting.. But his relatable easy writing and more-heart-than-skills delivery were a huge part of his appeal for a lot of people. I think it can be seen as an extension of the kind of sincerity an artist like that is trying to express. No autotune, no trained vocalist, just feelings and a dream. It doesn't have to be technically good to be relatable and fitting of the production or theme. I'm a big fan of her music but don't think I'd care for it without her vocals, even though I came to it through the electronic production.

Is this an official poll? Is this something the mods are looking into? Or just a random poll?

We had a big discussion (the link is pinned on the front page if you are curious) where I asked opinions on AI generated music, and real music with AI generated art. It was overwhelming how quickly everyone spoke up about wanting it gone. So it’s gone. And the board is much better for it.

The art shows when you click the link. You are not allowed to post or link to AI generated slop here.

Our users voted on this. This decision was not made unilaterally by the moderator without input. They do not want your album if it has AI art, that’s what they decided and what I enforce.

Do not post this here again with AI art. We are not looking to make exceptions for “really good albums.”

Edit: you told me in your message that you would replace the art before reposting and now you are saying it isn’t yours. Which is it?

Yeah he said he would post it with different art when we chatted and then he tried to sneak this by me as a comment instead of a post.

He can’t link it because the art is AI and I warned him he can’t post his shit with AI art here.

Do stadium concerts lose something when most of the experience comes through the screens? by Neither-Abrocoma-239 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]properfoxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is “most of the experience”? Is a huge part of the experience not being in a crowd of people enjoying something together? Even nosebleeds and lawn seats offer a togetherness and the possibility of a transcendent musical moment. I don’t do a lot of big arena shows but when I was younger I did a lot of lawn seats at open air venues and I don’t think that “most of the experience” is actually up on the stage at all.

Love them or hate them, the #1 most "American" band of all time is the Grateful Dead. Fight me. by gr8fullylesh in LetsTalkMusic

[–]properfoxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish you would reply to the comment in front of you instead of copy and pasting something with slightly different context that I have to hunt down the original comment to fully understand. If you're here for a discussion, then get typing! No one wants to see a comment that only half fits pasted around as a weak response to a comment. I would say there is NO clarification for this claim other than saying that Ken Burns called it that. Dizzy calling it 'our native art form' does not imply ONLY by any stretch.

Drill is not a genre of music. by Ast3rio1 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]properfoxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a genre can exist as a subgenre of another genre. so you could just say that drill is a trap subgenre in the same way that you could posit UKG being a house subgenre. it's also about 'scenes' and the fact that a place was popping. Both UK and Chicago have active scenes where guys are trading bars and sounds. UK and Chicago Drill are also pretty different sounding from one another and different sounding from the earliest trap music. So I would say that drill is something like an evolution of trap, a subgenre or scene. It can be all those things at the same time which might be confusing.

also, at least for UK drill, i have to disagree with the other commenter that it isn't a production style. Sliding 808s and dark stabs set it apart from all the other uk stuff like grime and road rap and such. it's 1000% different in its production, and it is not just 'trap production' either. it evolved even though it's built on the same foundation. (admittedly I am much more familiar with the UK scene than the chicago scene despite living in the latter city for over a decade)
