I realize that people reading my previous post (about music) will, perhaps, find it odd. I know that I don’t listen to “mainstream” music, by any stretch of the imagination, but I find my independent music listening has become a lot safer, of late. I’ve really been digging a lot more indie rock/pop and a lot of the post-rock, psych, noise, and metal that used to be my meta-indie cred. Anyway, I like making a conscious effort to getting back to more outsider stuff.
It’s similar to the realization I came to that my cooking and eating habits were getting to safe. I made a promise, to myself, to eat more organ meats and stuff like that. My mom thought I was insane: “you’re already one of the most adventurous eaters I know.” Same with my music taste, but I feel like i could go so much further, I guess.
For what it’s worth, it’s already going well. I’m listening to Noon and Eternity, the new album from To Live and Shave in LA (a band I usually avoid like the plague). It’s surprisingly great. I might suggest it as a good starting place for people interested in noise and experimental music in general. It seems like a more rock-oriented take on Legendary Pink Dots or Throbbing Gristle or some of the other classic experimental bands of the 80s and veers away (wisely) from the sort of mess that To Live and Shave in LA used to represent. Anyway, just some more thoughts.
