RTJ2 is really great, but I haven't seen enough love for Logic's Under Pressure.

Keyboard Solo of the Year.
True but telling the one person moaning about the emails to write better emails was overly defensive.
Thanks, it was just searching on the Internet though. I wish I had actual talent to do it myself.

I'd watch an anime based on that character and stage.
I feel like some long-haired brunette girl is going to crawl out of my monitor and kill me.
Based on Dan's love of the Stones, he should listen to this particular song by Foxygen. They're a mixed bag but that particular one is quite awesome. Opening takes a while, but that chorus is so damn great.
It'll probably just be labeled as weird indie dindy BS though.

I hope no one was wearing headphones.
As someone who grew up loving the bands that Dan loves even though they were already "old", and still loves those bands... I think Dan couldn't be more wrong. He's either being deliberately obtuse or he's not looking. There is some spectacular music out there these days.
Yeah, same here. I love Dan to death, and I still love those older bands, but there's a hell of a lot of fantastic modern music out there if you just open your mind a little.

Dude, you should know by now that he uses twitter to get a rise out of people 80% of the time.
That said, long live robot music.

I can honestly say I actively dislike a lot of the music Dan talks about listening to. Listening to Guns n Roses makes me want to take a shower.
then again i have a kanye west avatar so what do i know

I feel like the poe's law of internet music discussion is merzbow. If it goes on long enough, some joker will inevitably post a merzbow song.

I heard Jeff Hired that Klepek guy who wrote that MTV article about Advertising in Achievements for the news position. I hope he is good.
Ah yes, Merzbow. I really liked the Merzbow and grindcore band Full of Hell's collaboration that came out recently. Full of Hell used Merzbow in the best way they possibly could.

Hey now, I unironically got into merzbow for awhile. It's possible!

I legitimately really like noise and experimental music. Like, a lot. Merzbow specifically? not really my cup of tea. but like I said, someone will always bring it up. It's almost comforting, like watching a clock tick over on a new hour.

Daft Punk's Discovery is (probably) the best album ever made. This is just a (probable) fact of the universe.
Top 10 for me, easily. Homework is great too, not a big fan of their later work.
edit: Alive 2007 is great too.
Under Pressure is just one of those albums I've seen a lot of people get into, that I can't understand that people can love. I think it's mainly because I hate Logic as a lyricist. RTJ2 though, album of the year.
I prefer Alive 2007. One of my fav electronic albums.
I like a good noise album, there are people that take that noise concept and make an actually entertaining album like Pete Swanson or Women, but I've never gotten into anything that's pure noise without any feasible direction.

Yeah I like Death Grips. I like that they're super abrasive but still use a lot of hip-hop sensibilities in their music. I mean I'm not the biggest fan but I appreciate how different they are (compared to the rest of the music I listen to, at least).
As far as Daft Punk goes, I think RAM is one of their best albums. It's like the prequel to Discovery; on RAM they're making the music they've been sampling for years.

I still like Boris's drone stuff.
hey Patrick, please do a video feature on this: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=954403
I'm not crazy about some of his lyrics, but there are a lot of great beats, and the album has a laidback feel to it I really like. I think RTJ2 is a much stronger album overall though. Definitely one of my favorites of the year.

Exmilitary is fucking incredible. Money Store came close. the rest is okay.
re: noise- I don't necessarily need structure or direction, but I do like dynamics. I can get into stuff like Hanatarash and Hijokaidan or the Gerogerigegege but I'd rather listen to Nurse With Wound or something like that.

Also kinda off-topic but I just got 999.
Time to see why Patrick was making all that fuss!

It's enjoyable but too convoluted for its own good. Also, the puzzle aspects are pretty weak, so much so that they kept me from replaying the game (which is actually kinda the point of it all). You can't skip the puzzle portions like you can in the sequel.

I was wondering why that sounded familiar and remembered he's one of the Wolf Eyes dudes. Haven't looked into his stuff in a decade? I used to be way more into it than I am now.
And I don't know why we're comparing Death Grips to Lil B.

From what I gather, yes. He is indeed ridiculous, but it's also weirdly refreshing to see someone put out music and sincerely not give a fuck if it's good or not. It's clear he's just having fun, and it comes through in his music.
I dunno, maybe it's just me but I feel like liking things ironically is played out now. People just genuinely like dumb/weird stuff.

I like this thread way more when its talking about anime and wrestling. You know, things that are on-topic for a Giant Bomb thread.
Completely unrelated. I've just always been curious.

Has Jeff made a statement on his opinion of Lil B? He seems kind of into Riff Raff's complete lack of fuckgiving.

I'm going to disagree with how he thinks Lil B seems calculated. I really don't think you can make that stuff up.
