shout out to japan i somehow came across you know death scrolling i came across
this band uh
the fishmans from like the 1990s and they sort of combined all of these
different uh genres of
music i mean i don't know what any of them are you know what i mean like house
dub you know acid
jazz i remember they were calling it that like once whatever acid jazz came out
like i i stopped
knowing what music is and then i the genres of them or even being able to
understand them
and um like i was saying like a couple months ago you know that there's there's
like genres of music
i've never even heard of shoegaze i've never even heard of that and um so i'm
like woefully behind
but i downloaded this album long season um because they said it had one song on
it 35 minutes long
and that it was a masterpiece of whatever brand of music that they were doing i
put that song on
and i was stretching in my apartment you know put on my workout clothes i
stretched in my apartment
song is still going i walked to the gym it was still going and i got like you
know 20 i don't know 30
into my workout and i listened to the whole thing it was like i was like
determined i'm like i gotta
listen i'm gonna listen to a 35 minute song and um it wasn't it was a hell of a
ride um there's so many
damn there's so many goddamn talented people out there but like they have you
know they have a bunch
of other songs that aren't as long you know um i don't know i'm gonna start
listening to them i think
they're really i don't know what your group whatever the whatever the kids call
them now um but also i gotta
tell you like because nobody seems to want to pay for music anymore i miss
downloading an album that
is like 39 40 minutes long you know they always have to add all these bonus
tracks and then all of a sudden
you go to download it and it's like an hour and 20 minutes it's like i don't
want to listen to a
hour and 20 minutes to anybody an hour and 20 minutes i swear to god they i
think they're doing it
so maybe you're more apt to buy it because you feel like you're getting more
but i also feel it's
like apple filling up their own phones so you have to go buy a new one you know
what i mean like i i
don't need an hour and 20 minutes of adam ant you know i just need goody two
shoes and a couple of
fucking deep cuts and i'm good you know what i mean i i i don't need uh you
know you know two hours
and 40 minutes of taylor dane the extended greatest hits fucking version
i mean i love ac dc but i don't want an hour and 20 minute version of outtakes
of back in black it's
like why do i need the out you mean the shit that they thought wasn't good
enough for the album
why would i do that like i never understood that like like when an artist dies
like jimmy hendrix
or miles davis they're probably two of the people that have had they've had the
most god damn tupac
the most out they have like more albums come out after they die than when they
were alive and it's like
when they were alive they made a decision to not put this out because they didn't
want people to hear
it because they didn't think it was good enough like so what the what am i
listening to that should
be the album miles davis i didn't like but i get it on the other side that he's
now gone you're never
going to hear him play the trumpet again so you want to like listen to uh i don't
know what were some
of the things that he didn't like it gives you a more rounded 360 degree
version of him man
yes i was yawning during that and i just chose to plow through it
