Really? Not the pure data I used or the left-brain/right-brain case? Sorry you took offense to one word and discredited my argument over it. Guess you really are a chick after all!
Grimes makes some good music but she sure is a dummy.
1) RE: Less women producers... Could it be that women simply don't seek out producer roles? Or that the ones who do don't excel enough to stand out? Music production a highly technical field, the kind of thing that attracts MEN. Grimes and these other young self-proclaimed "feminists" today operate like there's some giant conspiracy against women, minorities, trannies, etc., to keep them out of white male-dominated fields, but could it simply be that the candidates who apply aren't qualified enough in their skillsets or merely don't apply in mass numbers?
2) Thinking a rock light show has a significantly detrimental effect on the environment is laughable. The annual rate of U.S. carbon emissions measured in metric tons for ALL fireworks shows is about 60,000. The entire world emits about 37 billion annually (in the last decade or so.)
Another ignorant idiot who thinks his "right to free speech" is being hindered by a private magazine who are censoring their own publication as they see fit. If he's so concerned about expressing his views then maybe he should stick to his Tumblr blog.
This list sucks. He's a better one:
1. Comes As You Are
2. Heart Shaped Box
3. About A Girl
4. Smells Like Teen Spirit
5. All Apologies
6. Breed
7. On A Plain
8. Aneurysm
9. Rape Me
10. Dumb
Yeah that was the part I rolled my eyes at the most. Sorry, I love all these songs too but Negative Creep and Sliver aren't better than Teen Spirit. That song is perfectly structured.
Please, once Seth Rogen made that homophobic, anti-Coldplay joke in The 40-Year Virgin it opened up a flood gate of memes and lame running jokes from every opinionated slacker who didn't want to be the outcast at the group-think hate party. I have even witnessed it firsthand myself, watching peers of mine suddenly change their minds almost overnight. Gone were the Parachutes and Rush of Blood CDs from the basement CD player that we used to smoke to, banished forever to the box of "Mom's CDs" in the garage.
I've always found Coldplay hate to be childish and irrational. It's a shame people can't think for themselves and enjoy simple things without letting backlash trends influence their opinions.
Agreed only for Idiot Wind and You're A Big Girl Now. The band versions of Tangled Up In Blue and If You See Her Say Hello are far superior, I think, especially the former.
There is a difference between 24 bit and 16 bit lossless for sure. Bass is rounder and fuller, the sound spectrum is wider and highs 'sparkle' more, especially on cymbals.
But the difference between a lossless 16 bit 44.1 file and a high-end mp3 (256kbps +) is negligible. Anybody who says they notice a difference between these two formats is likely hearing what they want to hear.
Actually, he's right and you're wrong. I've recorded my rock music in several studios and the producers have always stuck to 24 bit depth. Whether they use 192, 96 or 48 sample rate is their preference, but recording in 16 bit is very limiting in the long run and most producers would scoff at that suggestion.
I guess I'm the odd one out but I don't see what all the fuss is about. Kind of sounds like a dinosaur trying to relive his glory days of music-making. The growled, doubled "Came back haunted" in the chorus borders on satire.
What a terrible idea. I don't have time in my busy day for Spotify bullshit. I'm afraid this site is looking useless to me now, guess I'll have to go back to Pitchfork and other blogs.
Yes, I must be racist because I don't recognize rap as legitimate music/art. Every disagreement in the world is because of somebody's skin color. Grow up.
Dunno why all this rap shit is in here. I'm guessing you guys listen to half of one song and then go, "We have to include this shit so we don't get pigeonholed as a rock-only site."
