Music Thread.
I thought a trio of themed threads about other entertainment media might be good. If you're not interested, please just ignore the thread and pick some threads that interest you from here: http://celephais.net/board/view_all_threads.php

Anyway, discuss music...

Chelsea Wolfe 
saw her live without knowing the music before.

As I see it, it's really boring music. They borrow the style from post metal/core/doom, polished it really well (perfected it, you could say), and then proceed to do structurally and compositionally really, really boring stuff that is also centered around a single person, which is a no-go in posty genres imho. I felt bored through-out the concert :-(

It's basically pop for everyone who loves the post metal sound. So abolish, and never listen to it again, because it softens up the music genres I like :-(

Compare with Ahab, who were playing before the wolfe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTPHyG8KG7Q (Ahab's not strictly post though, more doomy)

Lol Chances Were Pretty Good Apparently 
I think it's more just that you're bored by her act. In the case of some performers, lyrics are what it's about, and the music is just there to provide atmosphere. I think that applies to her and I have no problem with that, I don't expect her to create progressive song structures, which by the way is a concept that has been so infinitely exploded within metal circles that it seems hard to apply anymore (welcome to metal postmodernism). I like Ahab and I am a big fan of post-metal and bands that have complex song structure and have more or less given up on lyrics and vocals, yet I also appreciate music that chooses to focus on lyrics and vocals, at the expense of progressive song structure.

Say it's verse-chorus verse-chorus. That would be lame as hell. Feel free to be bored by Nirvana. 
Lustmord 
I discovered Lustmord through a recommendation here on func. His latest album is great for mapping. Take a listen. Funny story. The second track has this loud section that blended with a nightmare I was having while listening very late at night with headphones. I dozed off on a bean bag in a pitch black room. I live near an airport and I was dreaming a jet was crashing into my house. It was one of those dreams where you are dreaming "in place" where you are. I awoke and immediately sprang to the closest door to run outside all the while screaming for my wife to wake up. She did - I was dreaming and the headphones were still on my head.

Thanks Lustmord. You helped me scare the shit out of my wife. 
Whoops 
Re: Chelsea Wolfe 
haha, that's exactly what I wanted to hear, gonna check out the lyrics ;-)

Regarding song structure, all the songs they played at the concert were either: a) really long slow start and then climax, or b) verse-chorus repeat. And yeah, nirvana is really boring.

And yeah, nirvana is really boring.
Oh, umm, OK.

Realizing now that this was more than a quarter century ago... Fuck. 
Endless Nameless Is Their Best Song 
You can smell Dylan Carlson's influence on that one. 
Endless Nameless Is Their Best Song 
Not sure about endless nameless, but i'm really digging nirvana's early stuff like "the dale demo" "bleach" and "incesticide"
big long now/paper cuts particularly 
Nirvana 
Love Nirvana, always have and always will.

Bleach is my favorite but I have soft spots for In Utero as well. 
I Should Have Said "feel Free To Find Joy Division Boring" 
heh but seems like I even got somewhere with Nirvana. I was going to cite "Aneurysm" (from Incesticide) which I think is their best song, but there's plenty of other good examples. Just because some progressive metal / post-metal / post-whatever bands have developed song structure to impressively cinematic levels, doesn't mean the rock music format is done creatively.

Thanks for the Rosetta reccomendation, about to check it out (unfortunately not while mapping, or not yet anyway). I've probably spammed my love of Texas songwriter Townes van Zandt here many times before, but check out the song "Nothin" it's two minutes. "Being born is going blind."
