The funny thing with that statement for me is that ketamine is pretty widely derided by most fans of club drugs, because k-heads tend to be incapable of doing much more than sloping against walls. I know of more k-heads into doom than into dance music. True story.

Ketamine is awesome, by the way.

please:

1-Ketamine
2-Comics
3-Electronic music
4-Shin Megami Tensei
5-Most PSOne and SNES RPGs
6-Sweet, sweet pussy

Considering 1-5, I bet 6 doesn't come easy.

Rob Instigator 01.08.2010 10:29 AM

ahhh. clubs. the K-heads I know like to zone at home on the blee bleep bloop sterero

Glice 01.08.2010 10:34 AM

I suppose that depends on what you mean by bleep bleep really. It's a fantastically broad disdain you have for anything not involving ugly people with guitars.

_slavo_ 01.08.2010 11:00 AM

Yeah, I'm curious about that bleep bleep blooop stuff as well.
any particular recommendations, rob?

Rob Instigator 01.08.2010 11:06 AM

I steer away from House music.

sorry.

I like analog instruments!

Glice 01.08.2010 11:09 AM

Derrick May?

Edit: I'm not sure that question mark's necessary.

knox 01.08.2010 11:59 AM

so everything that's not analog is house music?

Haha. You make house music.

Rob Instigator 01.08.2010 12:12 PM

goddamn people here just jump to conclusions.

personally, I do not enjoy electronic music anywhere near as much as I enjoy analog music. I prefer a stick hitting a drum head over a synthesized, always exactly the same, drum machine "beat."
I prefer the errors, the slight alterations that a proper drummer can give as opposed to a drum machine. The subtlety is what makes for excelent repeated listens. this applies to all instruments.

I find electronic house/techno/dance music too much of a "background" music , and I hate background music.
I listen to music to get amped up, to feel that rush, the hairs crawling on the back of my neck as the guitars and drums and trumpets and piano and whatever strike just that perfect cacophony. It is what I live for in music. I do not find that in electronic beats or dance music.

same way lots of peple cannot stand the chugga chugga of a heavy guitar riff. that is their personal feelings. I cannot relate to it, but I understand it. Sonic Youth is not for everyone, and neither is electronic dance music.

but you do know not all electronic music is dance music, right?

Rob Instigator 01.08.2010 12:34 PM

of course. some is ambient. some is drone, some is pop, some is suck.

Glice 01.08.2010 12:38 PM

But the opprobrium on analog(ue) gear - that's weird. What about people who make electronic music on analogue gear? Or guitarists who use digital effect pedals? Or people who combine both techniques? Do you include keyboards in this? What about bands who use triggered drum samples (more than you might think)? Isn't midi digital? Doesn't everyone use some sort of non-analogue gear? Have you heard what they can do with digital drumkits these days? Didn't ATR rock harder than anyone else at that time?

etc

Glice 01.08.2010 12:39 PM

Starter for ten - the answer to the last question is 'yes, yes they did'.

knox 01.08.2010 12:41 PM

I can dance to anything.
If I want to.

I remember watching my niece dancing to Merzbow when she was about 2. Kids are great.

knox 01.08.2010 01:02 PM
