Stop listening to middlebrow music.
Stop listening to middlebrow music
who is this faggot
I bet you think Arcade Fire is middlebrow
>brow
what was the deal with those brit critics and hauntology
Stop telling me what to do
It's all part of the cosmic conciousness...
what would middlebrow be?
simon reynolds. quite like him, has some good books on post-punk, rave music and other stuff
dude is totally right onretromania
Reynolds is a hack
fuck u cunt
Every Brit critic thinks he's Huxley
Old news
this faggot probably knows more musical neologisms than actual english words
he's the only credible critic to have written decent stuff on bleep music so idk m9
It's lowbrow
he invented post rock
he wasn't even into rave at the beginning, he missed the acid house scene, the sheffield bleep scene, all the good stuff
not many writers from then who are still around now though, like james hamilton etc
back in the day it was a soul scene really, all dance music was connected to soul, at the time reynolds was listening to jesus and mary chain or whatever, he was nowhere near any of it
He didn't even get into club culture until it was "cool" all the while criticising dudes who actually grew up on rave/hardcore
>taking bleeps seriously
instant hackery
the most simon-looking Simon ever
lol
I mean I don't disagree but at the same I know I would prefer Energy Flash over Scaruffi's History of Rock and Dance music to get a (subjective) read on rave and electronic music history
I listen to music to have an interesting personality and fill my identity crisis guis :d
