For a minute, I would get mixed up and thought Bullet For My Valentine, My Chemical Romance, and My Bloody Valentine were all the same band. I've never even listened to MBV, and the first two I haven't listened to since I was very young.

ME TOO.
Just recently when I read news of MBV getting together to make a new album, I was like, "Damn, what made them stop recording after The Black Parade?"
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
I've never understood free jazz, and most likely I'll never get it.
Getting it is easy. Liking it takes time.
Think of it as an artists stream of consciousness, much like the way Kerouac wrote with rolls of typing paper. If you’re trying to find a grove in it, stop: There is none and that’s the point of it.
Liking it is difficult. This is what got me into it.

Both are masters at making improvisational music this ep is what I recommend to people.
On the flip: it’s ok to say it sucks. I’m not allowed to listen to it without headphones when the family is home.
As a person who thinks one of the best ways of getting/liking a certain type of music is to experience it live, I've had few chances to watch improvisational/free music. The first one was Sun Ra Arkestra at Winter Jazzfest NYC in 2016. It was wildly experimental, and I remember really liking it. So I wanted more. The next performance I saw at the same festival was Nels Cline (specifically, Channeling Coltrane: ROVA's Ascension set). I didn't like it. So much that I left in the middle of the performance, which I've done very rarely in my life. I thought maybe it's not for me, and it's time to move on.
But having listened to a lot of experimental music lately, I kept an open mind. When I shared that post here last night, I was in the middle of Hieroglyphic Being set. Actually it was Hieroglyphic Being WITH Marshall Allen & Danny Ray Thompson of Sun Ra Arkestra. So some beats by HB, and lots of free jazz by Sun Ra people. It was interesting, and kept me intrigued for a while, but probably because I was trying to find a grove in it (as I shouldn't have been), I was lost after a while.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will try my best to like it. There should be a way.
Never listened. I'll check. Is it free jazz I assume?
on the album that track comes from, Mingus moved from writing out chord changes for his players to just going by ear. so heavily improvised, free jazz before "free jazz" really became a term/movement.
see also ornette coleman for earlier free jazz.
Nels Cline is an amazing guitar player doing lots of awesome stuff, but sometimes I am not feeling him either. He can be really out there at times.
the velvet underground and nico is one of my all time favorite albums, but ever since i found out that nico was a nazi sympathizer, i cant listen to it anymore :/
was reading a review of the new Robyn album, it mentioned something about her work with The Knife, and I was like "what Robyn was in The Knife?" so i was coming here to confess that I didn't realize that was Robyn in The Knife. i worked a bit, then did some googling before i made my confession, learned The Knife just did some production work with Robyn and that Robyn was NOT actually in The Knife, then I was reading about The Knife and learned that one half of The Knife is Fever Ray. Which I did not know, so that is my confession.
