Yes... I have been hopelessly stuck in the 80es and classical music for the last three years.

I've heard this from people who dislike metal, but I find it so much more powerful and denser than most other kinds of music. Having said that I do like other forms of music as well

deep cuts was considered the very camp of electronic music in the 00s. or at least I value the camp elements. do you keep up with Karin Dreijer's solo projects (Fever Ray)? She recently had a new release.

RipeCadaver
I would say I value it just as much as anybody but I have no idea what camp music means. Can you explain a bit about it. Yes I do follow Fever Ray. The debut is one of my favorite albums too, except I'm not much into the song "If I had a Heart" which seems to be the popular top track. She has changed her style with the new one going more later Knife-ish and I don't appreciate that. I would probably have liked it more if it had the original record's atmosphere and uniqueness.

they are not "camp" in a melodic sense but rather their style in deep cuts is very campy :) you probably have watched the ''pass this on'' video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S5mKzH2H6Q very, very campy and absolutely entertaining. silent shout is more stylized and not camp with socially conscious lyrics

It's a nice song, maybe the only one I know by this artist. Listening to "Lady in red" got me to "A Girl Like You", maybe due to some similarity in tone and atmosphere...

Top artist for sure! Never stopped listening to them over the years. And what did you like the most so far?

It would be too soon to comment on that since they're still a new band for me. And it might take even longer as I've been in death metal mode in the recent past, but whatever works for me starts clicking pretty soon so I'm looking forward to patiently discovering their rather extensive discography. What are your least favorite albums by them?
Actions

little-bluebird
being curious about them is very unconventional for a death metal fan. their last two albums grew extensively electronic and ambient. I am not sure I like this but my most favorite records are Hail to the Thief, Kid A, OK Computer, Amnesiac

i've been a great Iggy (/Bowie) fan. I'm not following this kind of music too well, although i regularly come back to the music i loved (i hardly ever regret my tastes of the past. When i love music it's for once and for all). The ocean of music is too large for me :lol I'll try to find these (new :D) waves of music .......

Hallo Bluebird! Pop - und Rock ist ja nicht nur sehr viel mehr als Musik; es ist auch eine andere Sorte Gegenstand. Es geht hier vielmehr um eine gestaltende Rolle ( Sounds, Texte, Videos, Covern, Frisuren, Kleidern usw.) , die in immer neuen Zusammenhängen wahrgenommen werden. Mit den Unterschieden zwischen klassischer Musik und moderner Unterhaltungskultur haben haben sich übrigens Theoretiker wie Adorno, Michel Foucault oder Dietrich Diederichsen schon auseinandergesetzt.

Hallo Bluebird! Ich höre ja auch gerne klassische Musik, was für mich aber in einem anderen Zusammenhang steht: während in sich der Rock- und Pop-Musik auffallend oft Spuren von Körperlichkeit und Individualität in Sounds und Stimmen manifestierten, versucht die klassische Musik solche unmittelbare Ab- und Ausdrücke des Körperlichen und Persönlichen in ihren idealisierten Standards möglichst zu dämpfen oder zu verhindern.

Leonard Cohen hätte den Nobelpreis verdient. Die lyrische Qualität seiner Texte weisen ihn als einen der wichtigsten Songwriter englischer Sprache aus. Da Bob Dylan nicht nach Stockholm kommen konnte, liess er sich von Patti Smith vertreten. Aber man merkte, dass ihr dabei nicht wohl war. Nach zwei Minuten ihres Vortrags von «A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall», wusste sie den Text nicht mehr. «Sorry», sagte sie, «I am so nervous.» Sie lächelte verlegen. Dann setzte wieder an. Und obwohl sie noch einmal stockte, nahm sie den Song jetzt in Besitz, sang ihn, als habe sie ihn geschrieben. Patti Smith schien mit ihren 69 Jahren genau so fassungslos über den Zustand Welt, wie der 21jährige Dylan, als er den Song schrieb, diese surreale Apokalypse mit ihren bedrohlichen Metaphern über Rassismus, Hass, Krieg und Tod. Patti Smith sang den Song mindestens so gut, wie Dylan ihn je im Laufe seiner langen Karriere gesungen hat. Wenn sie den nächsten Preis bekommt, soll Bob Dylan ihn abholen. Egal welchen.

Hi Bluebird! What a question - Obama Peace Nobel Prize, for what? Bob Dylan Literature Nobel Prize, for what? This event is a joke. BTW: Dylan has not accepted the price yet. It’s the only way for him. If he accepted the prize, he would be ridiculous and in the political intention of the committee. If he would reject, he has to clarify the background an this would be also ridiculous. They should abolish the price and invest the money anonymously.

Ich würde "Ogdens 'Nut Gone Flake" von den Small Faces wählen. Das Album ist nicht gerade unbekannt, war es doch ein großer Hit in Großbritannien, aber fast vergessen. Auf der zweiten Plattenseite gibt es im Cockney-Slang das (psychedelische) Märchen von Happiness Stan, der sich auf der Suche nach der anderen Hälfte des Mondes macht. Sehr witzig.

Thank you Bluebird! I think in Brecht’s plays today they stage away the special things of certain texts. About five years ago I saw the "Threepenny Opera" (directed by K. Thalbach). A shrill dud without political and social intelligence, only remnants of the original texts, gadgets. Is the time for Brecht over? Archived history? A piece of cuddly-classical? I think from his works one could still make a political fire when we not always would export our social questions in other countries.

From Celine there is this wonderful little book "Conversations with Professor Y". The story revolves around the dead end of thinking. Celine says that the painters at they time responded to the photography with the impressionism. But the writers never to the cinema. Many writers make what a movie can do better, namely imaging a treatment. Celine advocates that one should give the written word back the emotion of the spoken word. And of course this would be of not filmable ...

Most people know „Gulliver" as children book. But this has nothing to do with the original. Actually, it's an adventurous, exciting fable with deadly bitterness. Swift has not only criticized political and social grievances, he also made the accusation that the human being is a kind of animal that by an inexplicable coincidence has a bit of sanity, of which he not making use, except to worse everything the nature has given. I think Swift hated people - but that's maybe a kind of love?

I read Louis Ferdinand Céline's "Journey to the End of the Night" twice. The book is something like the "Simplicissimus" (Grimmelshausen) of the 20th century. Celine's great novels are free of racism, but in the years around 1940, he raged in the pamphlets of antisemitism. I think the bourgeois aesthetics praises every artist who is politically clean. But there are many different routes between literature and politics. What would happened to Bertold Brecht if he would not received glory in the bourgeois culture? Céline was a doctor for poor people, he hated war and military, and he mocked against colonialism and bourgeoisie ...

In Rainbows is one of my fav's too although it kills me every time. Radiohead is one of my favourite bands whatever direction they take, I guess. There are albums I like more than others, but so far the only album I don't like is their first one, and I'm not a huge fan of KTOL. Classical music is one of my two most favourite genres (the other being rock in general) but I haven't been listening to any lately. Are you listening to the stuff you know you like or are you discovering more through last.fm?

Aw, hope you get better soon. I'm fine; I've been better too, but I always could have been worse so I try to focus on that :P Yes, I liked the new album a lot, and surely more than KTOL. I was kinda expecting to be disappointed for some reason but I wasn't :D

"Ulysses" is just a novel. It can be discovered and read or not. What fascinated me about the book is a philosophical technique of an extraordinary view. Something that Joyce himself calls epiphany. Pictures keep our preverbal memories. The unsayable turns into a picture and we expect from this picture, that it transforms the unsayable in the sayable.

Leopold Bloom is an anti-hero, but he’s not a nihilist. What in Flaubert's "éducation sentimentale" still was identity production, is dissolved by Joyce. This can be seen especially in the speech of Molly Bloom. It's just not Joyce who speaks vulgar here, it’s Molly. Joyce gives her only his voice, or she borrows his name. What I find interesting about Joyce, is this "riverrun". "Ulysses" and "Finnigans Wake" have no perspective, no typical novel beginning and end. Joyce wants to rebuild the perception in short time-visions, he wants to see the things in a different aura ...

The reception of fiction literature has changed dramatically in the last twenty years. Today there are not many people who, for example, read Russian classics like Tolstoy or Dostojevsky in full length (school readings are mostly tertiary evaporations). Here in the city of Bern were till end of the 80s five big bookstores, all of them were more or less satisfied with their sales. Then came a large bookstore chain with a branch. They had additional specials and a coffee shop. This atmosphere was highly appreciated by the people. So the other bookstores had to close. There are now some small bookstores in outside quarters. The owner is also the seller. He or she knows almost every book in store. I like this passion…

Thank you! "Ulysses" by Joyce is definitely modern literature, but it's based on the "Odyssey" of Homer. Interesting is the link between the two works. I like Leopold Bloom, hero like Odysseus, but also voyeur, fetishist, cuckold, kidney lover when he walks through Dublin on the 16 June and sniffing around everywhere. Of course it's all about women and power and the chaos in the patriarchal history. Joyce turns his ideas always on the outside world: a watch, the sea, the waves, the faces of people. It's something like brain cinema. I think the books of Joyce are more sensual than those of Beckett where the nameless prevails and the place is no longer important. It's feigned home ...

Flaubert's "A Simple Heart" - what a prose! And even a parrot has the novella. Beautiful stuffed at the end. Flaubert is cold compassion, sad, angry, precisely. Madame B. was also a victim. She reads in novels of feasts, of noble men who worship women. She wishes to be part of it. Her wishes come true. The fulfillment makes her unhappy. Madame B. should have read Flaubert ...

BTW: Voltaire's "Candide" is the "French education novel". A genre that reached till Flaubert, whose prose I appreciate very much. The term "stream of consciousness" is literary mainly used with the writing technique of Joyce in "Ulysses". In Proust should it be called "In search of lost time". I think he's writing is not only elegant but pretty decadent to...
