Let's talk about music

I assume Cornell ruined it.

Aww...why you gotta hate on one of the best vocalist in rock?

[Gaucho]

Not hating, but Timbaland does more for me than the whole Seattle rock scene of the 90s (minus Hole).

Ugh

[Gaucho]

Sorry.

[FreeCandy44]

So you consider Hole as the winner of the 90s Seattle challenge?

[Gaucho]

By some margin.

Sorry again.

Soundgarden and AIC are the only two decent bands to come out of that whole era of garbage. Nirvana is one of the worst bands ever, and I seriously mean that. The only talented member of that band thankfully went on to make better music years later.

I don't even lump in AIC with those other bands, AIC was that much better, and I don't consider them grunge. Soundgarden was awesome too.

Wow....I guess apples and oranges here. I guess I just like this era of music, PJ, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Melvins, Green River, Mother Love Bone, Screaming Trees. So much quality music there, I dare you not to listen to these bands and not enjoy yourselves. I mean there is a reason bands like PJ and Soundgarden are still around making quality music.

I don't think I'd enjoy listening to any of those bands you just listed haha, at least from what I have already heard of them. That whole era to me was just yuck other than Soundgarden and AIC.

[Gaucho]

I do like Nirvana, Mudhoney, and certainly the Melvins, but PJ and Soundgarden or the Foo Fighters bore the hell out of me. *shrug*

Also, none of these bands holds a candle to late 80s Dinosaur.

The morphophone

This machine was conceived to build complex forms through repetition, and accumulation of events through delays, filtering and feedback. It consisted of a large rotating disk, 50 cm in diameter, on which was stuck a tape with its magnetic side facing outward. A series of twelve movable magnetic heads (one each recording head and erasing head, and ten playback heads) were positioned around the disk, in contact with the tape. A sound up to four seconds long could be recorded on the looped tape and the ten playback heads would then read the information with different delays, according to their (adjustable) positions around the disk. A separate amplifier and band-pass filter for each head could modify the spectrum of the sound, and additional feedback loops could transmit the information to the recording head. The resulting repetitions of a sound occurred at different time intervals, and could be filtered or modified through feedback. This system was also easily capable of producing artificial reverberation or continuous sounds (Teruggi 2007, 218).
Pierre Henry using induction coils to control sound spatially.

So I set my father up with my old iPhone, so he could use it - sans phone - to replace his ancient iPod.
His first transfer from iTunes was a Bob Dylan record....Gaucho - somewhere - was happy.

All those Seattle bands stink Gaucho. Time for some Renaldo and The Loaf:
