What are you Listening to?

I find Peter Gabriel's very nasal voice acting in Genesis to be more or less grating, but then really like his vocals once he gets into his solo career. It's weird.

To my ears, he sounds great on that above track and elsewhere, like on So.

Phil Collins' voice doesn't do much for me. I much prefer Gabriel.

Didn't bother with them at all after "Illegal Alien."  I dutifully like a fan bought the album the day of publication, was greeted with That Song and all Genesis and Genesis related records got made into flowerpots, long since buried to become shrubberies.  When people show their true colours like that I just don't have any life left for them, you know what I mean?  I was saddened when I had to do that to Alice Cooper and Carlos Santana but when they have to go they have to go.

Cancelled Roger Waters too, but David Gilmour has my back for the Pink Floyd material he's on.

Illegal Alien is pretty bad, but at least Peter Gabriel didn't have anything to do with that one. I haven't really been interested in Genesis output in the 80s anyways.

What did Alice Cooper and Santana do? Murder a woman together?

Both said some really dumb transphobic stuff. Buying into the current right wing hysteria that's all the rage right now. The real irony is Dee Snider from Twisted Sister also said some transphobic stuff. Because apparently dressing in femme clothes and makeup and identifying your brand as a "sister" is ok but being an AMAB person using she/her pronouns is just plain wrong.

I don't get it.  We're talking about people that kill themselves when the struggle gets too much.  I've personally lost way too many to count.  People are people, the plumbing doesn't matter, the outer covering doesn't matter.  Only the person matters.  It really doesn't get much simpler than that.

They've by and large bought into the slanderous "groomer" rhetoric the right has been pushing. Because if you have a lot of money and don't like certain people, the best way to turn the masses against them is to accuse them of being pedophiles. And the masses buy into it because their people are talking heads with podcasts and our people are strange and different and kill it in the makeup game.

^Oh @Marie, I'm intrigued. I'll see if I can listen a bit more later when I have time.

I'm kinda listening to this.

Not actually listening, but it's playing in my head 🙂

That's funny. Mormor is grandma here, specifically on the mother's side. Mor = Mother. Mormor = Mother mother or mother's mother. Similarly, farmor is grandma on dad's side.

It's as if my dear old nana herself returned from the dead and started a music career.

I'm having the time of my life reading the 80-page companion text which was written exclusively for The Complete Obscure Records Collection 10LP Deluxe Box Set. I feel so fortunate to have serendipitously discovered the pre-order page just before its issue and to have been in a financial position to claim this special release.

A few sods dismiss this collection as "dull" or uninspired. The book, comprising essays and articles from the original composers, their estates, and affiliates, reveal that these works are everything but. These are historical artifacts of critical import - 20th century music which effectively reinvented the concept of sound art. Here we find Dada, Fluxus, aleatoric music, Gamelan tonality, minimalism, experimental folk, process music... and compositions which discard all of the then-popular schools of thought like free jazz and the clamorous klang of the established classical avant-garde. New instruments are invented, new tonal systems manifested, and vastly new compositional methodologies are implemented with compelling results. Much like with Cage's work, it is more important to understand what is happening contextually in these pieces rather than to idly consume the sound, itself.

As I wrote in the conclusion of my article about this release, I choose to invest in history. This is fast-becoming one of the most prized specimen of my Archive. <3

I've never really celebrated Christmas much but I'm working on establishing new traditions. Presently spinning The Muppet Christmas Carol soundtrack LP with my complete set of discontinued limited edition Palisades Muppet Christmas Carol figures.

Moved on from the Muppets to Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas (2019 RSD limited edition picture disc). The Jim Henson vibe is strong in this house. <3
