Imagined posted:Radiohead didn't want *any* of their albums on Spotify, but "In Rainbows" is one they own entirely, so that's the only one they had any say over. Thom Yorke called Spotify "the last desperate fart of a dying corpse". Unless he is going to come up with something that benefits the customers he can gently caress right off imho, maybe the real dying fart is super star bands bankrolled by big labels.

Google's Play streaming service has it. So does Apple's, hell it's even on Tidal. They're not against streaming or subscription services, but specifically against spotify and their policies. Guess you just backed the wrong streaming service.

But that isn't the quote from the article  that article posted:Thom Yorke remains unconvinced that streaming is the answer to artists' problems, though. "To me this isn't the mainstream, this is is like the last fart, the last desperate fart of a dying corpse. What happens next is the important part," he told Sopitas, before suggesting that the music industry should rethink its backing for certain new business models. Like if it's anti-Spotify then sure I'm ignorant of that and assumed he meant all streaming because that's what the words said. I backed the ~right~ horse with Google so hopefully you and I can be horse-backing buddies. Speaking of audiophile stuff, isn't Tidal the service with lossless streaming? I tried it for the free trial they had when the first launched and could not tell a difference at all between normal streaming and lossless, no matter what speakers, headphones and DACs I used.

I guess they would be good for long trips, but every day driving, if you wanted to change cds while doing day to day stuff, good luck. This is based on the cars that only had cd changers in the trunk and no cd slot on the dash. My parents had a Passat that had that. I guess the VW engineers figured you'd never want to switch out your copies of Kraftwerk, DAF and Nina Hagen greatest hits.

Reel Big Fish puts on a fun show wnyway, though. I've found it to be a problem, but mostly with small bands. One I saw had an amazing horn section but the album mixing nerfed the horns so much they sounded way different. I tend to chalk it up to having lovely recording equipment and/or lack of experience mixing audio.

See "Flogging Molly" live, if you get the chance. For a band with so many instruments, they're drat close to flawless, and ridiculous amounts of fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBbr3qY9qCk

Reel Big Fish puts on a fun show wnyway, though. I don't go to a lot of live shows, but whenever I see a live rock music style group performing anywhere near where I live, the always sound very tinny/metallic and the drums are way too loud. I don't know if this is just a problem with local venues, people not knowing how to stage the band to get the best sound, how to adjust equipment, etc. Now, I've never heard a Ska band live, but I wonder if these sort of things actually play into the strengths of ska. You've got a lot of already metallic sounding instruments that may or may not need extra amplification.

Gogol Bordello & Primus both do great live shows, as does Les Claypool's side act, Duo De Twang. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXhYx6KCthQ I got to see this show live, and it got me into Gogol. One of the best opening acts I've seen yet. And Eugene (the lead singer for GB) has seemingly boundless energy.

Shellac were amazing live. Great presence, really exacting mix quality and great crowd interaction. Can't recommend seeing them love enough of they ever tour in your area. This was the third time they'd been to Australia in 23 years, so they can be hard to catch if you're not in America.

Live performance is probably the least obsolete thing imaginable, since it's effectively immune from piracy. Old 97s are consistently one of the most amazing live acts you'll ever see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Jw1SOFn0s Okay, the best individual show I ever saw was Nashville Pussy opening for Hank III opening for Reverend Horton Heat. But I'll always go to a 97s show.

Computer viking posted:A service that offered optional SACD-style mixes in CD quality mp3 at a good bitrate should in theory be everything anyone needed, though I guess it wouldn't sell well since most of the target audience wouldn't be interested in anything that "low quality". Onkyo have a streaming service that their newer amplifiers use that does something like this, it's probably available online as well. Qobuz sells tracks in all sorts of formats up to 24 bit wav for the insane, I bought one album in 24 bit flac, discovered it was 1.5gb and thought 'yeah this is stupid' and went back to 16 bit mp3/flac.

Pilsner posted:Nowhere close as bad as liking a band's CD, hearing them live (real live or on TV/video) for the first time, and realize that the lead singer has a terrible voice. Dave Grohl (not that I'm a fan of Foo Fighters anymore, but I was 15 years ago) just sounds godawful, and so do many other singers. I don't really like live performances in general, partly due to the voice thing, partly because I don't like improvisation when it comes to a good song I like, except a few rare cases. Case in point: Taylor Swift attempting to sing a duet with Stevie Nicks at the Grammys and being absolutely unable to stay in tune.

I can't wait for the day that more bands realize there's no need to bring a full stack to a bar or small venue - the only times I've ever seen that work was with Yob, Bongripper, and Thou. Those three bands have really nailed the mastery of making you feel the music like no other, which also comes down to the genres they're a part of. For the most part 100 watt amps only sound really good cranked, and that totally fucks up the mix for all the other instruments. I'm also a huge proponent of AxeFXs into FRFR cabs, because you can give the audience the same tone that they'd hear on an album, while still using comfortable volumes.

The POWER OF ROCK and the complicated history of lovely PAs are mostly to blame for that. You can do a stunning job in small venues (and compete with your drummer in practice, honestly) with just a smallish combo amp as long as it's decently built. Frankly around 20-30 watts with a 12 inch speaker is way louder than most people probably realize. Shugojin has a new favorite as of 01:54 on May 16, 2016 |

I saw Nashville Pussy open for the Rev once. I think the Nekromantix were the first act. But, hell yes was that a kick rear end, high energy show. Those guys are still fun to listen to any time though. For me, the one that doesn't translate from live to any other medium was GWAR. I was fortunate enough to see them before Cory Smoot and Dave Brockie died. The stage show and unbridled violence was just mind blowing. I still have my blood and jizz stained shirt from that night. I really hope they're still doing it right in their current incarnation.
