Oh, man. I came across this trailer the other day and had a "!!!!" moment. (8 seconds in)In post 347, UC Voyager wrote:Rob Zombie killed it and wasn't ever highly disturbing. I mean, there was the moment when he started playing hentai on the big screen, but i wouldnt really consider that disturbing.
He did enter sandman hella good, and he kept really good energy throughout the entire concert. i would have to say rob did better.

you know, im pretty sure the "statues" in this video are real women wrapped up in some kind of plastic as you can see them breathe; its grotesque visualization of the objectification of women really reminds me of Kanye's Monster videoso...i don't get enough sleep- UC Voyager

Omg. Finally got around to making an xxxtenation playlist on spotify. I'm so happy. Goes so well when your playing D3 or overwatch. Gives great momentum.

1. ABSRDST -- Imaginary Friend
Music video
I don't think the music video is particularly interesting (it does contextualize the carnival sound at the end of the song and by extension the 3/4 beat in general), but there are both links.
Check this out if:
You're a fan of distortion-heavy, high impact electronic music. If you aren't and your reasoning is a dislike of overwhelming noise and clutter, I'd still say give this a try. It's pretty sparse in sound and it works really well in my opinion.
Things to look out for:
This song really relishes in its pacing, which I like a lot. Certain moments ("you are the only one I truly *HIT* miss *HIT*") are a lot more impactful because of the silence afforded to it by how slow it is. Each line is a bigger time investment (the word narcissistic in "that's just your narcissistic point of view" feels a lot longer than it is). The breakdown near the end is really cohesive with the rest of the song, doesn't go over the top, really solid.

2. Lemon Demon -- You're at the Party
Keeping with the Halloween spirit, I wanted to share this underappreciated bonus track from Neil Cicierega's fantastic albumSpirit Phone.
Check this out if:
You like intense, lyrically driven electronic rock music.
This song rests on an insistent half step movement (think like the notes in theJawsmotif). You can hear it in the constant guitar line, the synth part, and the notes of the repeated "too late." The singer's strained, layered vocals and heavy distortion work especially well for the creepy atmosphere.
Things to look out for:
- "Eyes shut tight, never open up" seems to lead into a new melodic section but actually switches back and doesn't fully change until later
- The refrain (too late, wake up) leads seamlessly into the second verse, which has some really great lines
- The ending of the first verse "takes your hand // You don't understand, you don't understand it" is melodically same as the ending of the second "in your ear // Only you can hear, only you can hear it" but the second time the pauses are twice as long which catches listeners off guarddid another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!

3. Mitski -- Nobody
I saw Mitski on Saturday and it was an absolutely amazing performance. Here is, in my opinion, the best introduction to her material.
Check this out if:
You like light indie rock with tasteful punchiness and floaty vocals, but also just check it out. Check out the following as well, which are my favorite of Mitski: Geyser, Why Didn't You Stop Me, Pink in the Night, First Love / Late Spring, Dan the Dancer, Once More To See You.
Things to look out for:
THE MODULATION. It made me gasp the first time I listened to it. The chord structure is really ambiguous at times which is quite cool and adds to the airy feel of the music. Listen for the synth that soars above the chorus.
Here's a long digression about theory babble that I didn't want to delete. Honestly just skip this.

thought of a good way to think about this: key changes are cool when a single note is used as pivot. for example, in Celine Dion's All By Myself cover she sings the flat 6 at 2:40, so it's like, oh, what's gonna happen? Then that note is held as the music comes back in and the pivot is now the 3rd of the new key.In post 366, Errantparabola wrote:THE MODULATION. It made me gasp the first time I listened to it. The chord structure is really ambiguous at times which is quite cool and adds to the airy feel of the music. Listen for the synth that soars above the chorus.
In mitski the "No" at 2:12 is the 4 of C major and she uses it to pivot to F major, with the new note being the root.
Another fun example of this is in the barney theme song, where the second verse is thrust into Bb major by the pivot (G), the root note in the original key and the 6th in the new key (with additional ambiguity because the first chord played in the new key is an Eb chord). i do not know if this is also done in the original yankee doodle song but you can decide which version is more integral in the American zeitgeistdid another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!
