Favoriting Brian Turner: Playlist from May 3, 2016 Favoriting

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

Electric guitar is mid-20th Century stuff. Tubes? Nothing else like it...Completely unnecessary now - in a way...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:57pm

I mean - everything's unnecessary now...just have digital simulations - & machines to experience them...

Computers haven't become sentient yet... (and maybe never will, though don't try to tell an AI researcher that!)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:03pm

but digital simulation of tubes does not sound like tubes. it's an unreasonable facsimile.

Cliff:

While misspelling his name besides
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:17pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...well - he has a distinctive voice (he sounds like him) - which is half the battle in Pop/Rawk - & he's basically intelligible (I can tell the words - which helps in this case w/ the good writing, but isn't even a prime virtue in singing necessarily)...he communicates inflections (irony, what have you) - even as his style tends to a kind of spoken monotone, itself a certain effect...'cetera...
