[Dr. Derpface, J.D.]

...Rammstein...

I see what you did there, and raise you:

Oomph!



Genre: Neue Deutsche Härte/Industrial/EBM

Years Active: 1989 - Present
Origin: Wolfsburg, Germany

"OOMPH! incorporates many styles of music such as metal, industrial, alternative rock, electronica and gothic to create their sound. OOMPH!'s change of style between their self-titled debut (1992) and its successor Sperm (1994), leaning more heavily to a guitar-driven metal sound without ever giving up their electronic roots, inspired numerous musicians, most famously Rammstein, to follow their lead."

Moar like, too lazy to develop a musical taste, amirite?

I have many different taste, and know a lot more bands. Maybe I'm just to lazy to post up a bigger list? They're just my favorites since I often find myself listening to them a lot more lately.

I don't think he meant the quantity of artists in your library.

^ Or in other words, he meant that your music taste is somehow unconcerned, fake or whatever it could be called due to the mainstream, commercial media you consume. Reflecting that you're "too lazy" to look deeper into those genres (for instance) and immerse yourself in the whole musical culture, of which the mainstream is only the most recognized surface. Or something along those lines. My personal advice is: You don't have to give a damn



I've recently been listening to a lot of noise, namely:

Merzbow



Genre: Noise, Japanoise, Power Electronics, Experimental, Avant-Garde, Ambient, occasionally also Rhythmic Noise / Powernoise.

Years Active: 1979 - present
Origin: Tokyo, Japan

Members: Masami Akita

Merzbow is a noise music project created in Tokyo, Japan in 1979 under the direction of musician Masami Akita. Since 1979, he has formed two record labels and has contributed releases to numerous independent record labels. As well as being a prolific artist, he has also written a number of books and has been the editor of several magazines in Japan. He has written about a variety of subjects, mostly about art, avant-garde music and post-modern culture. His more renowned works have been on the topics of BDSM and fetish culture. Other artforms Akita has been interested in include directing and Butoh dance.

The name "Merzbow" comes from German artist Kurt Schwitters' artwork, Merzbau. This was decided upon to reflect Akita's dada influence and junk-art aesthetic. In addition to this, Akita has cited a wide range of influences from various progressive rock artists such as Frank Zappa and King Crimson to Japanese bondage.

This guy scares the hell out of me His album "Pulse Demon", which is right now one of my favourites, has been called "the end of music". Not as an "ending" but more like reaching the borders of music, and I can deffinitely hear that. I don't think there's any code to how to listen to this music, but I advice dropping any expectations of what is perceived as "music" because you won't find many of them in Merzbow. I personally just love the textures, the details, that drony noise

Do you ever listen to cover versions of songs from your favourite artists/bands ? I honestly don't mind listening to good covers of Beatles songs, for example. But I know people who would never do that.. do you do it too?
