This is fun. Wasn’t sure if I should post it on the Metal/Punk Rock thread,but didn’t think it fit there.

this one was always special for me

I was at the nonclassical at 20 event last night (no pics so posting here). For me the highlights were versions of Shift, trip and Fisher Price pipes:

Full programme here for anyone in need of a musical rabbit hole.

HGB also covered this - somehow much better in a strong Scottish accent and accompanied by smallpipes and electronics.

Pretty great rendition of this one.

The most fun (musically) I have had in years has been the last few days between Kendrick Lamar and Drake:

What!?!?

[Matt]

If I were to list my favorite albums of all time the majority would have been produced by him. Shellac was supposed to tour this year.

sad news. RIP Steve Albini

[popvulture]

I am so fucking sad about this. Luckily I got to see Shellac a couple times. First was when I was a freshman in college in Baltimore — saw them at the Copycat warehouse with Blond Redhead. @Matt were you at that one?

[Matt]

I wasn’t but I loved the Copycat building. I’ve actually never seen him live. I’ve seen plenty of his acolytes live though. He’ll be missed.

In other “news” I just saw this headline on NPR and I’m ashamed…

[popvulture]

Hahahaha I am SO BORED with how much news coverage this shit has been getting.

[scooter]

Who are Drake and Kendrick Lamar ?

[Matt]

Honest question.

Just to be clear, my question regarding Drake and Mr. Lamar was meant figuratively. I know who they are. I really don't give a fuck, is all. I mean, who are they, really ? Their "beef" means absolutely zero, when compared to the rest of the world's ills. Big picture, they are part of the problem...

Edit: This should really be in random rants. But, it is what it is...

[mclaincausey]

Don’t know much about Drake. Doubt I’d like his music and definitely seems like a creep and a shitty person.

I do like Kendrick Lamar though.

Re: Albini… he did an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Reddit that is quite interesting:

@GraemeE damn. Was just logging in to post this.

R.I.P. Steve Albini
Some of the greatest albums of my angst laden youth were thanks to him.
