The point of these threads is to encourage people to look for new and interesting music. We do this by listening to and ideally discussing albums we've never heard before. Many of us already listen to new music daily, these people are in it to venture "out of their comfort zone" by listening to albums they otherwise wouldn't have, or just to have a good time.
Rec me short books that you would consider historically significant and essential to read. Could be fiction or non-fiction, don't care.
Jose Young
Crying of Lot 49, Old Man and the Sea, In Our Time, The Death of Ivan Ilyich

tfw in a shoegazing kind of mood but there is a total of maybe 2 decent shoegazing albums.
David Peterson
Rules for Radicals Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland Brave New World (duh) The Outsider
Jackson Lee
no there are like uh 30
Owen Lopez
I don't see this album discussed here, it's droney postrock and it seems like a transition of first wave postrock to second wave postrock IMO
Carson Gomez
>In Our Time That one is gonna be on the list, rest read or don't care Read a huge anthology already. It was mostly poems and some short stories. Maybe something in particular? >Rules for Radicals Oh boy, no more communism literature for me.
Brave New World read, Ordinary Men might be interesting so added. The Outsiders maybe.
Evan Howard
Hemingway’s single best work. Don’t @ me of this.
Carter Morris
It's not communistic, it's about tactics for enacting social/societal change which inevitably gets construed as communistic, because it's the only real successful revolution that has overthrown capitalism. It's a very good read, unless you're laying off political stuff in general.
Adrian Peterson
Seiko is among my favorite currently active today, so it's little surprise that I enjoyed kitixxxgaia.
But oh no! I also enjoyed Tipico!
Tough fight. Very close. Seiko inched it out by being slightly more enjoyable overall.
Tipico may make a comeback in some wild card situation who knows.
Ryan Watson
if what you read encompassed Ficciones & El Aleph it's pretty much that. Don't care much about him as an essayist. I also think I recommended you story of the eye based on the fact that you like De Sade.
Xavier Howard
>It's a very good read, unless you're laying off political stuff in general. That's pretty much what I am doing. One of my fave books as a kid was Book of Imaginary Beings. Shit was amazing. Borges stole my heart with that one. >Story of the Eye Oh yes, into the list it goes.
Jeremiah Evans
White Noise
Logan Flores
Read. Was the first book I read in college all these years ago.
>Rec me short books that you would consider historically significant and essential to read. Could be fiction or non-fiction, don't care. >Short books >Historically significant heh, nice joke
George Orwell's nonfiction works. I would recommend Homage to Catalonia and Road to Wigan Pier. Both just break 100 pages, so they're nice and manageable.
Did some looking and I actually have almost no historical books that are below 200 pages in my collection so heck...
Dominic Johnson
If you don't mind a slight bump up to beyond 200 pages though, Winston Churchill's "The River War" is also recommended. Read up a bit on its context first so you know what you're reading about.
Noah Perez
i think historically significant =/= historical books just asking for short important books
Brody Martinez
I get that but I also barely ever read fiction so I can't really rec anything from that realm :'^)
Henry Brown
how about you read deez nuts then
Leo Lee
:( ew gross
Michael Ward
>The Prince >Tao Te Ching >Art of War
I might check Churchill's book.
Jaxon Hernandez
>Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball Interesting to see a country music veteran - whom I admittedly have not listened to before listening to this album - adapt to new styles and sounds so gracefully. A number of tracks on this album are covers and Harris really makes these songs her own, but I do prefer the non-covers on this album (particularly Where Will I Be and Deeper Well), since it is on these tracks that I feel Harris really manages to set a certain atmosphere I really enjoy - just listen to that shimmery guitar on Where Will I Be, it's really pretty imo. On the other hand, the album does fade into the background just a little too easily sometimes, it's pretty but lacks a sense of urgency, I suppose. Definitely worth checking out though. 3.5-
>Cibo Matto - Viva! La Woman Kinda like Fishmans (not reeeally but it's difficult to compare this band to anything else out there) if you trade most of the dub and rocksteady influences for more emphasis on trip hop influences and an extra dose of zaniness. Food items are this band's topic of choice; the singer ponders such philosophical questions as whether White Pepper Ice Cream is sweet or spicy and shouts about her secret recipe for a Birthday Cake (use two months old milk and bake it in the shape of love). The music itself is very chill and summery for the most, full of samples and the like, it's basically very joyful and pleasant. 3.5
>Oh boy, no more communism literature for me. too damn scared that you'll be convinced by nearly 2 centuries of brilliant political theory eh
Jace Cook
>too damn scared that you'll be convinced by nearly 2 centuries of brilliant political theory eh No. I have been forced to read Marx and Engels when I was 10. I read so much communist literature as a kid, I get PTSD from it.
Blake Carter
10 really isn't the ideal age to be reading that sort of thing. I mean, I'm all for indoctrinating the youth and turning them into SJW cultural marxist cucks but trying to educate small children on the labor theory of value probably isn't the best way to go about it.

Hi, hello!
I wanted to discover some new music and a friend told me I should visit Sup Forums and specifically the /daily/ threads, so here I am
Not entirely sure how it works Does everyone listen to the same albums or how do I find the new music? I'm mainly interested in alternative/indie rock type stuff
Jose Campbell
>I wanted to discover some new music and a friend told me I should visit Sup Forums Your friend is terrible...
>and specifically the /daily/ threads Nevermind! /daily/ is the only place on Sup Forums with taste. Except maybe the classical threads.
>so here I am : ) Welcome aboard!
>Does everyone listen to the same albums or how do I find the new music? The gist of it, is you set up a calendar. On each day of the calendar, you put an album you haven't listened to yet. Every day, you listen to the album on that day and talk about it / rate it etc.
Is simple.
>I'm mainly interested in alternative/indie rock type stuff What are a few of your favorite bands/albums/songs and the like? I'm sure we could pass you a few things to check out.
Nathan Bennett
1. Listen to new music daily 2. Post about it here in the form of reviews, short blurbs, impressions, scores 3. Ask for recommendations, set up charts that you work through 4. Make a trip so people can keep track of your taste 5. make fun of the user I'M FISH
None of these are really required but they are the framework of /daily/ If you post some of your favourite albums we can flood you with recommendations (not me tho, I'm not about indie/alt).
Matthew Taylor
Thank you for the warm welcome! >The gist of it, is you set up a calendar. On each day of the calendar, you put an album you haven't listened to yet. Every day, you listen to the album on that day and talk about it / rate it etc Ah cool, this sounds fun! I create it with the link in the first post? >What are a few of your favorite bands/albums/songs and the like? just a few examples: Rise Against, Royal Blood, Black Pistol Fire, Editors, Mountain Goats, Radiohead, Interpol, Foo Fighters, DIIV so I'm not very deep into music I guess, haha, any recommendations would be highly appreciated

Thank you! I'll make sure to drop in at least once per day and leave some thoughts on the new music I've heard, kinda busy currently, but I think it will work out Gotta decide for a name now and find out how to get the numbers behind it bad taste! (i'm so sorry)

Welcome!

>a friend told me I should visit Sup Forums and specifically the /daily/ threads Does your friend post here? I've always wondered how many people frequent /daily/ without actually posting, I imagine it's a lot more than actually post (and I imagine I'm all of their favourite trips).
Jose Smith
You get the numbers like this, it’s like a password :)
Also check out Joy Division - Closer Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Robert Wyatt - Old Rottenhat [and also nearly every project Wyatt has been on. Great musician] youtube.com/watch?v=keBfNoofTNw His stuff in the 80s was something of a proto-radiohead. Branch out into his 70s stuff if you want some more experimental rock.
Talking Heads - Remain in Light just an album that everybody ever needs to listen to because of its influence/impact/quality/etc youtube.com/watch?v=LVGnTE5N1U8
could throw some more out if you're up for it.
Isaiah Perez

Leo Bell
Thanks! I only heard Kyuss from these and I love that one I think a while ago she did, but not anymore, apparently still frequenting though oh cool, thanks, hope that works I only know a couple of Black Sabbath songs, but they are nice oh yes, Talking heards are great! The others I'll add to the calendar

Stanko was very nice, closer to the Conference of the Birds side of ECM than the ambient bitch-jazz side. Fantastic playing all around.
In Full Cry is confusing the shit out of me; I don't know what to make of it.
Another forward thinking release that deconstructs bedroom/lo-fi music by abstracting it beyond recognition. It sounds like the darker, sister album to this year's Yves Tumor - Experiencing the Deposition of Faith. What stands out to me on this record is the manipulation of vocals. Normally these types of "out there" electronic releases either completely forego vocals/human elements or make them inhuman/unrecognizable. Instead Klein puts an intense focus on all aspects of the human voice and creates super interesting textures through looping and reverbing vocal samples on top of one another. Each song consists of several blanketing layers of noise slowly building or collapsing inward. You can feel the rough grain of the samples as they are chopped and cut off, which gives the music a physical quality. The quick bursts of jungle breaks is a cool technique that reminds me a bit of some Orange Music releases, plus it just directly appeals to my musical tastes.
Though these sort of albums have an enveloping atmosphere (which I love), there is somewhat of a lack of cohesive focus beyond pure aesthetics. However, I feel like this is acceptable from a 24 minute EP. I look forward to Klein's future output, and I think she is a great addition to Hyperdub.
If anything I've said interested you, or if you're familiar with the artists I mentioned, definitely check it out. If you haven't liked this kind of music before, I doubt this will be the record to change your mind.
>Stand-outs: Prologue, Everlong
Carter Williams
woop woop new chart
21 Savage, Offset, Metro Boomin - Without Warning
Fuckin bangers, This album really is at it's best when Offset's on though, Savage takes mumble rap too literal. The Savage/Boomin tracks are pretty boring, I just find his voice dulling. His lyrics sound like they'd be great shouted but nah this dude need some coffee or something. Best track is probably Rap Saved Me with Quavo, the horror sound effects like the deep laugh are great, and Savage's chorus works well.
Queen - A Night At The Opera
I just did this to get the 10k rating on this album. I never knew every kid that praised queen for being better than the shit on the radio grew up to become a theatre queer.
Bobb Trimble - Iron Curtain Innocence
Ooh, this is dark and sad psych. This guy could've made some killer industrial. When The Raven Calls, Your Little Pawn, and One Mile From Heaven is a crazy 3 song streak. I find the sameness of this album preventing it from achieving a 9, it's got some killer sounds and riffs but you can really divide this album from the Side 1 Sound and the Side 2 Sound. Also, what kind of Short Version is 4 minutes and Long Version is 5:40?
Grayson Martinez
hello maybe try Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You and ITAOTS if you haven't heard that yet
Jeremiah Roberts

Elijah Smith
What's that album where the album cover is the singer girl in a red sweater looking out a rainy window, and the album sounds like she's The Zombies' little sister?
Lucas Butler
Hey everyone cumblogs is back for another installment playing some chill-ish reggae and hip hop and throwing in some psych funk in there as well
>Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk >Blues/Psych Rock I'd dance to this if it were 50 years ago. Beefheart's voice works great in more traditional music for the time-- lots of well-crafted songs here, the slight quirks of the band, huge for the time, fit perfectly. The stereo mix does sound a bit stifled, but I didn't find it too detracting, Beefheart was just leaps and bounds ahead for the time.
7+
>Ween - Mollusk >Art Rock I get that this is supposed to be humorous, but I don't particularly care for this and other songs like The Blarney Stone. Songs that *could* be mistaken for being serious are actually just as good on their own; Waving My Dick in the Wind is genuinely enjoyable.
I'm split on the usage of synths here. I do like some of the sound pairings for these songs, but there's some awkward and tackier-than-usual choices, like in I'll Be Your Jonny on the Spot (even as catchy as it is). But then tracks like Mutilated Lips pull something more sour/sweet and enjoyable. I found it particularly strange to hear midi samples in genuine songs, but for the time I sure it was much more shocking.
The genre-traversing is above average, much more styles attempted than I'd expect. After sitting on this album for a few days and relistening to it, my rating moved up from a 5 to a 7.
7
===================================== It was close, and I almost gave it to Ween, but I Beefheart had a better average in a shorter format. The B-Side of Mollusk is what helped me to decide which I favored.
BREADHEAD WINS.
