“The Internet might be useful for creating revolution, but all it’s creating in the Western world is more passivity, more disconnection. It’s a fucking nightmare. When I was 20 years old in New York City, do you think you walked into a coffee shop and saw 40 people staring at $2,000 purchases all made from the same company? And those are all the artists! I talk to young musicians now, and they’re just happy to be making records that get released. They don’t even consider that, in the old days, they could making a living by selling records. They don’t even get paid for their work. All that money just goes to Apple and they’re happy to just have people going to their shows. It just took two generations for Apple and similar companies to convince artists they don’t deserve to get paid and that they should just be grateful for the tools that Apple is providing us to make our work, as if we need them to make our art. It’s very, very fucked up.”

- Antony Hegarty (via claraengelmusic)

I don’t think there’s a sharper or more analytical mind in modern music than Antony. This is the most brilliant vivisection of the online music industry ‘revolution’ in the past 15 years.

alexsegura:

Self-promotion time! Faulkner Detectives, the band I’m in with my friends Elizabeth, Meg and Vanessa, just released an EP: The Modern Handshake.

You can snag a copy at our BandCamp page. How much? Well, that’s the fun part! The price is whatever you want. Think it’s worth $10? Cool. $1? 50 cents? That’s OK, too.

The tracks are free to stream, so listen to it for nothing if you like!

The album was recorded by superstar producer Jamie Muffett at Threshold Studios in New York City. The snazzy photo that makes up the bulk of the EP cover was shot by artist Jade Phillips.

Also, if you’re feeling generous, you can “like” the Faulkner Detectives Facebook page, or follow us on Twitter.

Thanks!

DJ Shadow - Mutual Slump

From Live! In Tune and on Time, 2004.

This live version of a standout track from Endtroducing… isolates the original’s central Bjork loop and lets it ride solo for a while, slowly incorporating the comic monologue and Vangelis synths from the back half of “Stem/Long Stem”. I’ve been harping on minimalist hip-hop lately like a big dork, and this guy here, with its single reverb-laden, 5-note loop buttressed by a drone and a vocal snippet, is so minimal it’s ambient. Definitely closer to Steve Reich than Steinski. Take out the audience noise and you’re floating in space.

Bonus points for that stuttering effect at the end, most likely the result of rapid crossfader action similar to a transformer scratch (with added reverb). It’s a relatively small change that achieves maximum emotional impact due to the ethereal stillness of the rest of the song, like a sleepy starship shifting direction. Or something.

Listening to DJ Shadow has always made me sad, but in a good way somehow!

chris brown was not banned from the grammys for beating his girlfriend so badly she went to the hospital

let’s sit and think about these two facts, and decide whether the producers of the grammys are terrible sexist dickwads or not

simply ridiculous
