What music are you listening to lately?

[phildo]

new flying lotus!

 

[nakokoro]

Been listening to Jhameel. Sounds like a mix of Sufjan Stevens, some Imogen Heap, and maybe Death Cab.

 

[KnowYourRights]

I wish they'd get back together and tour. F***ers.

Manton put you up to this, didn't he?

The first movement opens itself up pretty easily to the ears for a fugue, and the last movement (a sonata allegro that would typically come first) makes references back to the first movement, some more audible than others. How gorgeous is that second subject in the last movement, though?

The variations movement in the middle of the quartet took me years to "get", however.

When I first heard the quartet, the more avant-garde details were the first things I latched onto-- the "wrong" note in the fugue subject (actually a natural note of C#min, it just forms two augmented intervals with the previous notes,) the 9/4 variation in the middle movement, the col legno playing in the scherzo, etc. I'm not sure how much the aura of sphinx-like mystery that's come to surround late Beethoven really helps appreciation of his music. I think it's more that the idea of music as expression both personal and spiritual- taken for granted these days- was pretty novel for art music of Beethoven's generation.

huh?

why would being signed prevent a musician from participating in a community event? most young bands are willing to put their mudsharks down for a second in order to support good radio stations, causes, etc...
