To the white folks that have expressed anger/shock over my approval of A Thousand Miles' usage in the Spinabenz, Whoppa Wit Da Choppa, Yungeen Ace, & FastMoney Goon song Who I Smoke, I invite you to ask yourself why you feel this way & then read this: https://t.co/CSP2a5XByJ

I like Anti-Hero and Would've, Could've, Should've. High Infidelity is decent. Everything else is... fricking boring. I can't believe I'm saying this about Queen Tay, but man, this is really not her best work.

rate this banger

Ok, Train dude is singing in front of a cafe. At 0.38-0.40 you can see a black woman approach the cafe from the left side. At 1.16-1.18 you can see her walk away to the right side of the cafe. That was the original video, Train dude was going to sing Soul Sister to a black woman as she walks by the cafe. There's also a dude painting shit on a wall presumably to signal his obsession with our Queen, it's possible he's a cupid type figure. But Her Highness has been cut and replaced with unrelated shots of a mop stick white b-word. To add insult to injury, mop stick even has "soul sister" written behind her at one point. They try and cut it together like painter and mop stick are going to meet each other but they never appear in the same shot. Painter was originally going to meet Her Highness.

I demand Soul Sister original cut.

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/

RAISE YOUR HANDS INTO THE AIR

WE'RE WARRIORS

WARRIORS OF THE WORLD

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Drake truly will do anything for clout:

Although the cause is unknown, the underlying mechanism involves an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves and damages their myelin insulation.[3] Sometimes this immune dysfunction is triggered by an infection or, less commonly, by surgery, and rarely, by vaccination...Globally, death occurs in approximately 7.5% of those affected.[1] Guillain–Barré syndrome is rare, at 1 or 2 cases per 100,000 people every year.

Sad deal, and I hope he recovers soon.

I wonder how long before the claim it was ?

It is one of Queen's best-loved songs but Fat Bottomed Girls has been mysteriously dropped from the group's new Greatest Hits collection.

The 1978 track, which was written by guitarist Brian May, has been enjoyed by generations of fans as a humorous and hard-rocking tribute to a young man's appreciation of fuller-figured ladies.

But 45 years later, it appears that lyrics such as 'left alone with big fat Fanny, she was such a naughty nanny, big woman, you made a bad boy out of me' and 'fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin' world go round' have been hit by the woke cancel culture.

It was such a popular hit for Queen that it appeared fourth on the band's original 1981 greatest hits album along with Bohemian Rhapsody, Don't Stop Me Now and We Will Rock You.

But last week it was nowhere to be seen when Universal Records announced they would be releasing a version of the record on Yoto, the new audio platform aimed at young people.

The move has left music industry insiders bemused, with bosses insisting that Fat Bottomed Girls has wrongly been singled out as it is 'merely a bit of fun'.

One told The Mail on Sunday: 'It is the talk of the music industry, nobody can work out why such a good-natured, fun song can't be acceptable in today's society.

'It is woke gone mad. Why not appreciate people of all shapes and sizes like society is saying we should, rather than get rid of it.

It's outrageous.' Fat Bottomed Girls has long sparked debate about the suitability of its lyrics, and the promotional material that accompanied the release.

The original sleeve for the song, which was taken from Queen's album Jazz, featured a scantily clad female riding a bicycle but was altered after some stores refused to stock it.

The new version was the same image with knickers drawn over the woman.

May told Mojo magazine in 2008: 'I wrote it with Fred in mind, as you do, especially if you've got a great singer who likes fat bottomed girls... or boys.'

The newly released Yoto greatest hits album, released in collaboration with Queen's record label Universal, is aimed at introducing the band to a younger audience.

Meet the disgraced "digital-age Beethoven" Mamoru Samuragochi who bullshited his entire 18 year music career.

Born in Hiroshima, Samuragochi claimed that he started playing the piano at the tender age of 4, but in high school he started to get severe migraines and by age 35 he was completely deaf. I like to think he blamed nuke radiation for his deafness. After graduating from high school he didn't go to music school because he didn't like modern music so he instead taught himself how to compose.

In March of 2013 a TV documentary was made about Samuragochi called "Melody of the Soul: The Composer Who Lost His Hearing" that was broadcasted on the Jap version of PBS. The documentary followed him as he met survivors of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in northern Japan.

Samuragochi-sama, please soothe the suffering of these survivors by playing the piano!

Later in June of 2013 a reporter from the Area magazine went to Samuragochi's apartment to interview him and noticed that he might not be telling the truth about being deaf, such as answering the reporter's questions before the sign-language interpreter had finished, and getting up to answer the doorbell. But the interview wasn't published by the magazine due to them not wanting to slander the guy or something.

When Samuragochi's first symphony was performed on tour by a full orchestra, the composer Takeo Noguchi noticed that it was an adaptation of little-known works from earlier composers like Gustav Mahler, and doubted Samuragochi's story, which was sourced entirely to his record label. Noguchi's article was turned down by musical publications, as Samuragochi's record label was one of their advertising sponsors, and instead was published in the November 2013 issue of the newsweekly Shincho 45, as "The deaf genius composer" - Is Mamoru Samuragochi genuine?

Then the bombshell dropped: Samuragochi's ghostwriter came forward.

ENTER: Takashi Niigaki

On 5 February 2014, it was publicly revealed that music attributed to Samuragochi since 1996 had actually been ghostwritten by Takashi Niigaki, a musician, composer, and part-time lecturer at the Toho Gakuen School of Music in Tokyo. Niigaki also said Samuragochi was not deaf and states that Samuragochi has normal hearing and was posing as a deaf man to generate a mystique around his image as a composer. Niigaki also said that Samuragochi did not need to use his cane , and that most of his biography printed in album liner notes was fiction. Niigaki went to the press because one of Samuragochi's "compositions" would be used by Japanese figure skater Daisuke Takahashi, at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. On 12 February 2014, Samuragochi released a handwritten statement in which he revealed that he had a Grade 2 physical disability certificate after losing his hearing and to have partially regained his hearing three years previously. He also added that he was "deeply ashamed of living a lie."

Following the revelation, the city of Hiroshima announced that it would be revoking the Hiroshima Citizens' Award it presented to Samuragochi in 2008. On 7 March 2014, he gave a press conference in Tokyo, appearing in public for the first time since the ghostwriting allegations arose. He admitted that while his hearing was impaired, it did not meet the legal requirements for deafness, and that he had returned his disability certificate.

Here's a New Yorker write up about all of this.

Well I know what you're thinking;

>these guys got away with it for 18 years so the music was atleast good, right?

So let's do a little a comparison using the reason why I and every other Westerner even know who these guys are: The Resident Evil Director's Cut soundtrack.

Here's the Mansion Basement theme from the original game that would later be replaced in the Director's Cut:

And here's Samuragochi/Niigaki's track from the Director's Cut:

Bonus: Kenji Yamamoto

Completely unrelated to Samuragochi or Niigaki, but when else am I going to get a chance to talk about disgraced Jap composers: Meet Kenji Yamamoto, he's best known for composing the soundtracks for the popular Dragon Ball Z Budokai games. But all of his music would be pulled from the games forever after he was accused of plagiarism. Now, how bad could it be you might ask? Surely it wasn't too bad or blatant, maybe he just made some riffs that sound familiar or at worst stole some riffs from a small band that's only known locally in Japan?

Here's a playlist with more comparisons. But for real if you ever decide to play the Budokai games hunt down the original release versions, Kenji has some good taste in music.

Great show, well worth going if you can get tickets. No resellers allowed so tickets were affordable, and even though the band is getting up there (Robert Smith is 64 I think?), they played a solid 2.5 hours straight.

Plus I got some great merch!

If you sperg out over these songs or unpin this post like a kitty, you're a nazi who needs to be chud awarded

I used to visit SeemsLikeSalvation for sooooo long back in the 90s and early 2000’s every single day to get some new NIN news. I remember when several tracks from The Fragile leaked, or when before that, KROQ played The Perfect Drug before its scheduled street date by like 10 days, and SLS (the site) had Real Audio rips of it.

Man, YT has just been weirdly recommending Woodstock 94 and 99 vids to me, and it makes me so sad how everything got so fricked up between those two events. Anyway, it got me thinking about all the band websites we used to visit, before bands had “official” sites.

I miss the 90s so much, it’s unreal
