The thing is most of music discussion is “heres a song” but nobody really tries to listen unless its already a song they like. Thats fine its not a criticism but the overall discussion lacks a dive into what music is as not something to be consumed or background noise but such a strong medium for emotion.
I want something like a megathread for music every month where whoever partakes will share not only songs but albums or bands where we talk about what it means to us and why it should be considered for listening. Giving each other recommendations and engaging with each others choices and why it gives us resonance.
I grew up with my dad being a musician. Every car journey, every school holiday i would browse his huge selection of CDs. We’d write music together he’d remix my tracks id review his and we’d discover band after band after band together.
For me this was like half my personality just sharing even if we didnt have the same taste at the time id learn to appreciate his and him to mine it just hit different. Watching him rehearse and play live, giving feedback on what he had been writing.
Bring back music, bring back standing in a HMV using the disintegrating headphones to listen to random tracks.
Anyway yeah id like to see if me running a monthly or idk quarterly music comm megathread would be something the peeps would like.
Now the question is how do i make it happen. Do mods pin posts or admins? Never thought about it
Do you have an idea for a first Mega? I can go into weird amounts of detail on the underground elements of most rock music and also know about a shit load of experimental stuff. I've wanted to do a super deep history of punk beginning with like the proto proto formations of rock music and going from there. My best friend is also a giant fucking music geek, we talked for 2 hour about Deep Purple's specific influences via other bands on crust punk. Ive been working my way through all thr Throbbing Gristle live tapes and wanna talk about first wave industrial big time as well
Mods can pin posts that stick to the comm itself. Admins have to pin for it to show up on the main page. I’d imagine site pin deserves some site discussion, but a comm pin can be done right now to test the idea out.
Time to make me an admin as a bit @CARCOSA@hexbear.net
Could you send me a post or comment you've made in !music@hexbear.net
I will when i make one dear leader
