kwanzalord (09/19/2015) [-] that bari sax is the best...basically makes it.
And though the guy looks like a total tool, his movements and the way he performs, actually makes it better

It's pretty common with classical guitarists, we get a lot of **** sometimes for having long freaky nails so people tend to cut them from stuff like ping pong balls, also helps if you break a nail before a gig so you can just make one.

nrwlz (09/19/2015) [-] No- that instrumental is called Ocean, and it's one of the only songs from his first album (searching for heritage, a cassette that he recorded while still busking) that he still plays to this day. As a result, it has changed a lot. Searching for heritage is not a song by John Butler

Instruments aren't as much ironic as digital tech (mixers, samplers etc all brand names, costing small fortune, made by ultracorpo companies).
But you know, hippies above 25 years of age still singing and preaching stuff about opressive corpo slavery systems, no matter how talented aren't exactly the brightest minds on the planet. Same goes for metalheads, punks etc. If you have naive, ironic, hugely simplified ideas about the world with black and white morals above certain age you aren't very good @ observing the surrounding world, interpreting what you see and drawing complex conclusions. It's nice when you'rre a teen and completely normal but grown ass people that believe we are slaves to corporations are just silly and paranoid, but most of all irony is so strong in their case that it creates a shockwave.

infinitereaper (09/19/2015) [-] Right
Because this someone how proves that everything is fine
everything is right
everything is light
The world is perfect. Capitalism is perfect.
No corruption, poisen, environmental destruction.
No fatal flaws.
Seriously, **** this stupid species.
Humans will manufacture their own downfall and it won't stop because everyone keeps drinking the "everything is fine" kool aid.

garymotherfingoak ONLINE (09/19/2015) [-] the real trick is finding a good balance between the "everything's hunky dory" kool aid and the "everything ******* sucks gg world" hard vodka. enough of the vodka to be motivated to do something towards fixing problems relevant to you and the people you care about, and enough of the koolaids so you aren't discouraged by ******* everything to the point that you don't feel like doing anything

asmodeu (09/19/2015) [-] I don't mean to sound like a dirty, good for nothing hippie, but I probably will.
I think the whole anti-corporations movement is mostly about corporations that advertise aggressively unhealthy products, use cheap barely-legal, immoral shortcuts (sweatshops, dumping toxic waste in rivers, draining nearly the whole's continent fresh water supply, etc) and especially then ones that treat their employees like **** (this is where we can include sweatshops again, including most McDonalds buildings).
I think 80% of us will agree that if these practices disappear overnight we will be in a better place (not implying the companies themselves disappearing, because this can in some instances destabilize the entire world's economy).

Yeah but thinking it's not common to notice it and assuming people don't know about it is naive and childish. It's not noticing it, it's a complexity of the subject that matters. Like everybody knows crime is bad but nobody with a sane mind can say that has the universal ansewr to crime and just acknowledgeing it means nothing. Even child labor is more complex than it seems because in some parts of the world in poor rular areas kids going to work for a factory is lifesaving for the family. I'm dead serious.

buddhadom (09/19/2015) [-] I mean, you're not wrong, I'm not a fan of the new "next", "random", "Favorite" and "Comment" buttons either but...
Why say that here? We're having a good time in here. Listen to the talented, bearded dude and stop complaining just for one bit.
There's even a whole board dedicated to suggestions. If you have a better idea go there or something, I dunno. /suggest_improvements/

The worst type of person, steer clear of these guys, they usually like to judge other people's irrelevant things so they can feel better about themselves.

fatminion ONLINE (09/19/2015) [-] I actually think they look cool but the music is **** . It's all about message, but everyone uses the same nomenclature (jah, brudda, rhiddim, da man) and often about the same thing and just ends up sounding the same. It's similar to rap (at least to me) - a relatively simple 4/4 beat with some instruments playing more or less the same thing throughout the song while I sing/rap. Yeah, sometimes there's a verse or chorus or turnaround, but it's like a total of 10 seconds different and 5 minutes the same. And reggae might be worse because of the guitar pattern. Down-up, down up, or mute-up, mute-up... it just makes my musical mind cringe to think of all the wonderful things the musicians could to do accompany their message.

fatminion ONLINE (09/19/2015) [-] PS 4/4 is simply the time signature. 4 quarter notes make up one measure. It doesn't matter where the accents are, but usually 1 and 3 or 2 and 4. If you're clever you might be able to add a triplet in there or something, but mostly to any modern music you can count a straight 1...2...3...4... for each measure.

No those things are not equivalents. I'd like to suggest a book: Tonal Harmony by Dorothy Payne and Stefan Kostka.
I was talking about this song though, it's 6/8 or someone who insisted on writing nothing but triplets in 4/4. Anyway, at about 1:30, you start hearing the triplets indicating that we're most likely in a compound time signature. Dotted quarter note = 120

I heartily agree - but entire genres? My favourite song of all time is Reflection by Tool. It hardly changes and is so rhythmic and simple and the words powerful and when it FINALLY reaches its climax, it's amazing as hell. And then it just fades away after...
But rarely do reggae or rap songs play so hard with dynamics.
I think that rap, reggae, techno, house or whatever is music meant to fulfill that caveman-like urge in all of us to sway our hips, maybe jump up and down, maybe clap our hands or beat our chests. I know it sounds conceited as **** , but I have always loved more rock 'n roll (Led Zepp, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top) because it's good driving music, it can have exciting parts like guitar solos, strange songs atypical for the band (Goin' to California from Zepp), and is generally a good ride and not every song is the same, although they are similar. Beyond that, I really love more "intellectual" music (Tool, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, The Doors...) because it not only sounds amazing, each song is different, but both the music and lyrics are for my head as well as my body and soul. I freak the **** out when the drum solo from 46&2 from Tool comes on. I can't contain my body movements. But it's probably too complex a rhythm (7/8 + 9/8 polyrhythm) for inexperienced or non-musical listeners to grasp. It's OK. They don't have to. I don't pretend I'm superior in any way. I just like it and can't get into a song, let alone a whole album from 60-70bpm electro-drums rap. Yeah, maybe one track has a violin, and one has sampled drums instead of TR808, and maybe one has backup-singer-girls, but compare it to any album from any band I've mentioned before and you'll see WAY more variety in tempo, arrangement, effects, and even "style" (blues, rock n' roll, raga, half-swing)
But to each his own. Video is my favourite song.

I'm a musician so I clicked with an attitude of "lets see how long it takes to utterly fail to impress me" because they look like some other folks i've met that are so ******* fake that they go out and buy a guitar from walmart and call themselves musicians despite only knowing how to vaguely strum out 3.5 chords.
But I listened because there is always that chance that you've let appearances deceive you and I was pleasantly surprised. Good stuff. I wouldn't call it great (because my taste is classical and romantic eras so he can't really feasibly get my vote) but certainly worth the listen.
