whatever this genre of music is got to be the worst white boy music ever made. this and schlagenheim or whatever that shit is called. like they cant sing, their lyrics arent even profound, complex or poetic in anyway. they just bluntly yell or just talk about stupid shit like getting killed or taxes. nothing melodic about their instruments. it's just noise. it sounds like jacob collier's music. how do ppl force themselves to like shit like this

How the fuck did this prick become famous? A minute into any interview with him he's already an insufferable cunt who thinks his shit doesn't stink because he read entry level adult literature or found a heckin obscure all female band (it sucks but it's all women and that's empowering and you're a chud)

Learning about his background has given me a whole new appreciation for his music. His parents were two sick demented people. No one should have to endure a childhood like that. I'm grateful Cameron was able to turn all that darkness into something so beautiful.

Now that some time has passed.

Is it safe to call it an instant classic yet?

Steve Albini on jazz

Jazz serves a cultural function in the music scene. It is a signifier for musical "adulthood." To embrace jazz is to don a kind of graduation cap, signifying a broadening of tastes outside "mere" rock music. This ostentatious display of "sophistication" is an insult, and I find the graduation cappers transparent and tedious. Certainly there must be interesting music one could call "jazz." There must be. I've never heard it, but I grant that it is out there somewhere.

Jazz has a non-musical parallel: Christiania, the "free" zone in Copenhagen. In Christiania, like in jazz, there is no law. People are left to their own inventions to create and act as they see fit. In Jazz, the musicians are allowed to improvise over and beside structural elements that may themselves be extemporaneous. Sounds good, doesn't it? Freedom -- sounds good.

The reality is much bleaker. Christiania is a squalid, trashy string of alleys with rag-and-bone men selling drugs, tie-dye and wretched food. Granted Total Freedom, and this is what they've chosen to do with it, sell hash and lentil soup? Jazz is similar. The results are so far beneath the conception that there is no English word for the dissappointment one feels when forced to confront it. Granted Total Freedom, you've chosen to play II V I and blow a goddamn trill on the saxophone? Only by willfully ignoring its failings can one pretend to appreciate it as an idiom and don the cap.
