I wanna know what moids are liking these days. By beautiful I mean more on the pretty side rather than just your favourite.

!augustlovers please let me know, I'm very interested

edit: adding my own

I've not really browsed /mu/ or 4chan in ages but is that still the best place to find deep cuts / underground music? - Le gems if you will

Music I'd be referring to has like hundreds/thousands of listeners. Usually a one off album or project.

Examples:

Japanese Lo-fi synth music - https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/麓健一/美化-bika/

Random Vocaloid album with 2k views - https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17530945

[insert random Vaporwave album that ends up being Good Actually] -

I would've used Brave Little Abacus in the past but they're super high on RYM now lol - https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/the-brave-little-abacus/just-got-back-from-the-discomfort—were-alright/

Here's Albini recounting buying child pornography while in Hamburg:

Jaded as I am, I can't help but flip seeing a girl and guy of twelve or thirteen, tops, ramming Martel bottles up each other's asses. These are not the Dutch equivalent of abused trailer-park kids, either. They look to be in excellent health and seem to be honestly enjoying this. Makes all the conventional arguments against this kind of thing seem really silly.

They're kids. Kids like to play with their own and other people's privates. They're just being photographed at it. Now, people who get a voyeuristic charge out of watching them, like me, I guess, well, we've got some grip-on-reality problems. There's maybe 1% of all pornography that has any effect on me, and it's definitely not a turn-on very often. But when it is, and it's as weird as this, it's pretty hard to take.

And here's him promoting his friend, Peter Sotos', chld pronography magazine:

The cover of PURE 2 is a guy holding open a toddler's puny hole so his spuzz can dribble out. The girl is past crying. She is destroyed. [...] Like I said, I like that sort of thing

Sotos later defended his use of child pornography in cout, stating "child abuse is a sublime pleasure"

Albini also produced an album for Sotos called Buyer's Market, which Wikipedia describes as "sound collages of spoken word samples from parents, law-enforcement officers and victims of s*x crimes and pedophilia". When asked about his relationship with Sotos in a reddit AMA, this is what he had to say:

Peter's an old friend. I've known him for 30 years or so. I'll help him do whatever he wants to do, from wash his car to edit his album.

Slow day and I've wanted to do thread like this for a while

Starting with 2 DDR outlaw core songs, his legal shenanigans make it very topical and his slightly raspy voice fits well

Now the hip hop of white people, country

Actual, legitimately interesting cover, with Butters singing the sample and Cartman rapping over it

Speaking of Kanye, what if Freaky Friday: Ye and Tay edition?

Kanye as an indie folk/pop/country singer

And Tay as a rapper

Dumping a bunch more that I don't want to clutter the post with

In no particular order these are mine. In this list I have mentioned my favorite artists. If you have other fantastic albums by other great pianists (Gilels and others), drop their names and albums and I'll listen to them.

Timeline of composers should be Baroque to Late 19th Century. I don't want to hear Shostakovich or Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Prokofiev etc. I'm not a music nerd so their genius will probably be lost on me.

They're complaining about her dating a racist and cheating on a guy with depression

Strega Beata by Lana Del Rabies

I know what you're thinking. This must be some shitty parody music of Lana Del Rey's songs. Trust me this is why I slept on this too. I thought it was like Oblivia Rodingo but this is actual proper music. It's dark gritty noisy quality Death Industrial music.

Chen Jingfei (self titled)

Now this is actually Lana Del Rey-esque music but it takes it to some cowboy movie soundtrack route and somehow it's in Chinese. It seems like a weird mix but it's done well and it's very cinematic.

——

Inner - Space by ISON

A lot of rock and metal stuff bore me these days. I don't know. Kinda lost appeal but I find myself enjoying this and revisiting.

——

Works for Abattoir Ferme 2007-2011 by Kreng

You know how you always see artists or albums tagged with “DARK ambient” and it sounds about as scary as playing peekaboo. This album is actually dark. When someone says dark ambient, this album should be the first thing on their mind. Why isn't this more popular? I have no clue. It's dark, cinematic and terrifying especially the first 4 tracks. The album art is chef kiss too.

——

Songs for the Children of Baphomet by The Royal Family and the Poor

Umm I don't know what this genre is. Liturgy Darkwave, maybe? I don't know. It sounds churchy but also like LARPing as a medieval knight at a nightclub?

Ranked Choices (in my opinion)

1. Wilhelm Kempff - Subtle, Sweet, Perfect

2. Gregory Sokolov - Rich, Warm, Slightly faster compared to 1, Vibrant

3. Sviatoslav Richter - That signature Richter touch, very melodic, though slightly faster

4. Alfred Brendel - Light and slow, very moody

!classics what are your favorite interpretations?

i don't think men do and tbh i think they need it.
