Naney accidentally got me into a band vis à vis an emo joke. Not sure how I feel about that, but I do like them. The band in question is the absurdly monikered I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism In Your Yearbook, and they are... hectic.
I'm also listening to Clipping now, for which Naney is also to blame. Noise and hip-hop are a match made in the best part of Hell.

I have a friend on last.fm who is into them, but i had actually never given them a listen before i embedded that link.
They were one of the most highly revered Screamo bands out there apparently.
I don't suppose anyone cares about Justin Timberlake's most recent endeavor? It leaked the other day.
Listened to a good half of it last night. Wasn't bad. Some of the songs seemed a little overlong but one could see that coming given FutureSex/LoveSounds.
Of course, this is coming from a boy that has been imitating JT's falsetto since 2006 so I'm probably not the most objective listener.
Tourist is their only album I have yet, and the longest track on there is 8.29 long. Are there longer songs on other albums?
My opinion on length is that a song can keep going forever as long as it keeps introducing interesting variations. (Hello, "Jenny Ondioline". Hello "Impossible Soul". Hello "The Box".)
Nah, their songs are roughly in the 7-8 minute length (which is about average), but they tend to not have enough movement and you kinda feel the length more than you should.
Well, I must not be listening to the right house music, because I can't think of any names but most of it is even less dynamic than this. (Or it's videogame remixes.)
Granted, St. Germain is no Jaga Jazzist, but those guys are something else entirely.
Hey there MetaFour. Good to see you hanging around on HH. I think you'll find the core of the old TVT Music forum made it over here. In addition to the people you've already seen, JHM posts here as Srendi Vashtar, and thenamelesssamurai and sunn wolf both post here as well. We don't have Saeg, Zudak, or Wicked though. I hope that you enjoy yourself here, if you decide to stick around.
P.S. Stereolab rules. Emperor Tomato Ketchup is an amazing album.

I know you said before that you don't care for Afro Celt Sound System, but which songs/albums of theirs have you heard? They have quite a bit of variety even within a single album.
To be honest, I'm having a hard time hearing the world music influences in that posted track, unless you're referring to the marimba(?) near the middle of the tune.

well the problem is that there are two largely unrelated genres called World Music, one is....well, music from non-western countries. The other is what I posted.
Thta's my understanding of it anyway, I'm no expert on electronica. Afro-Celt Soundsystem is something else entirely than what I mean tho.
That simultaneously makes a lot of sense and no sense at all. I guess it's just like how "hardcore" refers to completely different subgenres of punk and techno.
Jaga Jazzist, jazz/d'n'b-ers–turned–post-post-rockers, are releasing a live album, on which they're backed by a symphony orchestra. I'm excited.
The setlist isn't what I would have chosen (no songs from A Livingroom Hush, and only one from The Stix? for shame), but if that video is any indication they're gonna be doing interesting stuff with the song arrangements anyway.

So is this a band I should feel guilty for liking?
Because I do, but their songs sound kind of the same, so you really only need to listen to maybe one album or one song to get the gist.
well that article made me rage.
I'm now going to go back listening to all this hip-hop that sounds nothing like anything Todd is describing.
There I said it.
He isn't actually that bad. People just don't like him because they mistake his music for hip-hop when it's not.
I wish to locate more music in this vein

Fat Tony's new song features both Kool A.D. and Despot
if Kool rapped like that more often I'd probably like him a lot more. Despot's verse is still better though.
also Fat Tony himself seems lackluster.
I am listening to Adam War-Rock's You Dare Call That Thing Human?
I don't usually listen to nerdcore but it was free.
avant doom double bass solo
I know y'all don't care too much about Odd Future but Earl dropped a new song last night and it's pretty good

I got that album they did with Lee Perry last year. The Orbserver in the Star House. That was fun.
I realize that this is some kind of heresy, but I think I prefer Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night over Emperor Tomato Ketchup.
