the last couple of years i've, for whatever reason, grown interested in t-rez' approach to making music, both technically and philosophically. i enjoy listening to his current interviews and admire his deliberate, well-crafted manner of communication and music-making methodology.
unfortunately, when it comes to what he actually produces, i'm often let down. NIИ stuff strikes me as silly. his soundtrack work is much more in the vein of my preferred aesthetic. mood pieces. non-songs. playing with structure and layering without obligation toward any convention. |

it is a bit silly and formulaic
in a watered down spot between actual industrial music and metal still cool if I happen to be in the mood for it |

I dig Sonic Youth, but they have that whole "we're too cool for you" thing going on that doesn't always feel terribly justified. Easy to see why Elph is so in tune with them.

Eh, whatever. Like I said, I like the music, but the posturing I could do without.
Pixies got it right. They were dicks but they had the songs and the accessibility to pull it off. |

Also, now I feel semi-bad that I took (!) an unnecessary dig at you. So, sorry for that.

I think Pavement is great as well
again I think it's more wanting to make music that's more in tune with punk/post punk/indie rather than classic rock throwback, not really pretension Malkmus says about The Fall "Mark E Smith was my Wallace Stevens" Mark E Smith replied by saying Pavement "didn't have an original idea in their heads" he also suggested that Thurston Moore have his rock license revoked |

I tried listening to radiohead but was let down because there were no surprises. My first thought was anyone can play guitar. I might be wrong of course, but I can't spend my dollars and cents on this band that won't stop whispering about weird fishes. Their songs have me climbing up the walls and I just consider myself lucky to not like them because it makes me want to have a blow out. When people bring up radiohead on the internet I just wanna learn how to disappear completely. I'd rather go to sleep have a nice dream, put on a videotape about killer cars to rest my scatterbrain, put on a motion picture soundtrack or even listen to the national anthem.

I've heard this about Pavement too, and I know it's only 1 experience, but Stephen Malkmus was one of the coolest, most engaging "rock-stars" that I've met. Took the time to hang out and shoot the shit with everyone 1 on 1 in the club after the gig... Signed whatever, took pictures. Dude was a blast. |

thought this was a response to the OP at first
had a chuckle i will say tho on topic of the recent conversation, Radiohead are one of a handful of bands where i actually have a physical reaction when people say they don't like them. nothing major, just a kind of minor recoil, similar to if someone just told me they were a devout scientologist or a heavy believer in the flat earth theory |

Radiohead has their fair share of good songs, but I think a lot of their newer work is overrated...
Just not really into the guys vocal style anymore. |

it's more of a "there's something fundamentally different about you & i, and i'm not so sure i trust you anymore" kind of thing
mostly cos they were a central band in getting me into "alt music" i guess |
