If you thought Diamond Jubilee was too long, you should check out Pat Flagel’s (Cindy Lee’s) previous band Women. Two amazing albums: Public Strain and s/t. Very digestible, but very raw and technical. Pat’s guitar playing shines through a lot more on those albums, and it made me appreciate Cindy Lee a whole lot more.
incredible band! Eyesore is a GOAT album closer:) Women may just be and most likely are the most influential post-punk band of the past 15/20 years! :)
AVAA can't believe professor Skye went over the record and did not mention the word "lo-fi" even once, props for that. It's quite interesting how the word has lost its meaning throughout the years of artistry and music commentary. Maybe a topic worth talking about
I’ve heard bits about this discussion but I feel like I don’t have a good understanding of what “lo-fi” used to mean, or how it lost it’s meaning, and I can’t find much about it as well. May I ask you for some song recs that fit into this original understanding of lofi?
Before mentioning specific music, I found a good commentary of the state of lofi throughout the years written by some guy on reddit which I wanted go quote. "Lo-fi indeed means low fidelity, strictly speaking. It's a counterpoint to high-fidelity music, something that's been a gold standard of professionally recorded music since the 50s. However, it's curious to see how the term then becomes linked to economics and production. Recording on a four track Tascam in the 80s and 90s would make your work a low-fidelity, esp in comparison to 48 track studios with SSLs. Sampling onto budget 8 or 12 bit samplers would give your sound a tonal color different to 16 or 24 bit samplers; again, it's low-fidelity and high-fidelity sound. However, a curious cultural event happened as these budget options became adopted by different social groups. A scruffy rock band with a Tascam or a rap producer on a budget would both have different values than a major-label artist. After enough time, the lo-fi thing became not just a marker of quality but a denotation of values, a way of seeing the world. Oddly enough, as the studio system became outmoded and high-fidelity options became affordable to the everyman, one would have expected lo-fi to bite the dust. Maybe it did, for a split second. But soon people realized that they liked dirt. There was a charm to that sound. So they started to add it intentionally, if not artificially. It went from adjective to aesthetic." I would say Beach Boy's Smiley Smile is one of the first lofi records made by a popular band.
@ thank you. I think I understand, but I’m gonna summarize in case I missed something. So, this Redditor is arguing that the term “lofi” has changed due to accessibility of hifi production. From the fifties up until this shift in accessibility, something being “lofi” or “hifi” was a statement on audio quality. Then, this shift gives more people access to hifi production, and the term “lofi” shifts to also describe an aesthetic, so saying “the Velvet Underground and Car Seat Headrest are lofi” is true in a technical sense, it overlooks the fact that one simply didn’t have access to better production, and the other intentionally chose lofi production. Is that right?
you bringing up both Perfume Genius and Neil Young in this video when earlier today I was just thinking the lead single for Perfume Genius' new album released today was IMO very reminiscent of Neil Young just blew my mind...AVAA
AVAA YESSSS IVE BEEN WAITING ALL YEAR FOR THIS. sooo velvet underground. so fresh still. so gentle indie revival. I fucking love ittttttt!!!!111!1!!!!!
AVAA 21:27 can confirm as I type this through nerve-pinging fingers en route to my music workshop on Christie (one block from Bathurst) in mid January Toronto.
Not seen anyone mention it yet, but I’m fairly certain the streaming uploads of this album are unofficial, hence the messed up tracklist. The label made it clear that the only to give money to Cindy Lee will be to buy the album on Bandcamp.
AVAA professor! Also i would be interested in what you think of the new Clarence Clarity album from last year. I would classify it as HypeR&B/Alternative Hyperpop, also his first album is very interesting since it came out along with the first big wave of hyperpop projects.
The way I see it (in my mind) Diamond Jubilee is found lost media. Before this old building was torn down, which housed a well known studio from the 60's - 70s, there was a massive clearing out. Recording equipement and such were brought out and sold at an auction. There were lots of boxes that were sold, and in one of the boxes, was this album. Some say that this was the work of a secretary that would work after hours when the recording studio was closed. She would gather her musician friends late at night and record way into the night, over many years. She never shopped it around to the people who worked for record companies, or maybe she did, and they would just laugh at her. A WOMAN CAN'T MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS!! IT JUST DOES NOT HAPPEN!! Maybe not. Maybe she stopped working there and forgot about the tapes? Who's to say? Something like that.
Firstly, THANKS FOR YOUR CONTENT. Recent sub, but your takes are righteous. Glad you strayed from hip hop for this, I just listened to Diamond Jubilee front to back in a sitting. It reminds me of another one person sort of act called SKINSHAPE, which I love to death and think you would as well. I stumbled onto his music camping, morel hunting, and consuming mind altering substances. Sitting around a fire after successfully hunting and a great meal, and wanted some music for background. Everyone with me kept pausing to ask, "Man, who *IS* this??" Over and over.
wow was not expecting my hometown Bathurst, New Brunswick to get a shout out here. (Bathurst also a major street in Toronto - and no Bathurst St. in Montreal)
This is how I found out the album is now on DSPs and not just on youtube. Wonderful. It really is an amazing album. Like you, the length has been part of what's held me back from truly diving into it, but I've played it many times while working. Now that it's on the DSPs, I can play it on my phone when I go for walks, and I can pay closer attention to the song names. Thank you for giving me another reason to listen to it again, AVAA
Avaa - professor skye, you haven’t touched car seat headrest to my knowledge (goated, as the kids would say). You should check out the Gun Song off Nervous Young Man which ends with a cover of down by the river.
Professor Skye, you should try Public Strain, by the band Women. The best project from Patrick Flegel before this one. A hidden gem of post rock from the 2000's.
I saw someone describe this album as the fallout 4 diamond city radio on a beach day and I can’t stop thinking about it. It makes me think of the album less of like a nostalgic revisiting of older music and more like a retro futuristic evolution of the sound, where the hypnogogia part is more of a trait that’s been developed over time as the idea of what is retro becomes more obscure rather than a fusion of the two sounds. Coming into the album with that idea just makes the atmosphere 10x more magical
Saskatoon Berries… and they are sooo purple and delicious! Bison is pretty delicious also. (These are what Pemmican was made from.) I don’t know if Neil Young is, but anyway… 😂 Thank-you for such epic cricket dives on wonderful music!👍❤️🎶✌️
AVAA This is verrrrry off topic professor, I know the norm for this chanel is not reviewing old music, however I would be ecstatic to know your thoughts on the 1996 album Viva! La Woman, by Cibo Matto. For my money they are a staple of the “trip hop” genre yet they receive very little recognition. Not to nerd out on you too hard, BUT if you do find the time in your very busy schedule to listen to the album might I suggest listening to it in its original vinyl track list order rather than the order on streaming. Why they are different vexes me, but it certainly flows better :))
Please please please listen to Patrick Flegel’s first band Women. Their self titled is easily one of my favorite albums of all time. Incredible piece of music.
I wasn't watching the screen and TH-cam ads 😂 made the Prof say "I used to have have some weird sleep stuff where I was like 🎵 shake, shake, shake, shake your booty, shake your booty 🎵 and I was so confused for a few seconds. Also loads of Smiths songs are full of gay stuff of the type you mention - I Want The One I Can't Have for example
Hey Professor love your videos, any chance you would do a Peter Gabriel video in the future? He’s such an influential artist but not enough online music personalities talk about his work. Anyways AVAA!
@ I’d recommend listening to Melt even if you don’t make a video, he really pushed the boundaries of production at the time and even invented the Gated Drums sound on his single Intruder with Phil Collins.
Idk how your generation affects what you like in guitar music. but to me at 17, these are like the most beautiful guitar tones ive ever heard. they seriously couldnt sound better
I’m about 6 years older than you and for me my favorite guitar music requires it to be heavy and hard but I had my childhood in the nu metal era and I would say guitar music changed quite a bit from mine during your childhood to more psychedelic and indie sounds in popular music so makes sense
I live in calgary! avaa there is no real "dessert of calgary", besides maybe Peter's drive in's milkshakes, We don't eat bison, or atleast not commonly. mostly only people who hunt eat it, and it is a rarity at that. On the genre-form: It is likely the artists make art that fits that genre, because it (atleast for me) resembles queerness in calgary. Calgary is on one hand, pretty conservative. And on the other, it is the second most liberal place in Alberta (a very conservative province). I cannot speak to how they experience their queerness in this city, but the description of the genre resonates with how I feel the "queer culture" here functions, particularly in music. While the genre "remembers" old-style music, it is essentially is new. This is likely echoing the effects of the Stampede being the primary force of culture in the city. The young and the old celebrate stampede, and both go out and listen to local bands in bars. The essentially "conservative act" of rodeo, surrounded by some of the most progressive people in the province, creates a strange duality, where both the "F-ck Trudeau raaahhhhhh" convoy-conservatives, and queer people, party and celebrate in the same bars and places in the city. Take this with a grain of salt, I am not really the one to speak on behalf of artists in Calgary. I don't participate in the city-culture here, except for when I waited for an hour to try Chick-fil-eh. Note: it is not worth supporting that gross corporation, and frankly it is worse than Popeye's or KFC. But I am Trans and in Calgary, so hopefully I have some insight for you. P.S: I assume you have read "The Motherlode" and "Hiphop is history"? if not, you are missing out! Edit: I am going to release music under the name Spaghetti Watermelon! I don't make music yet but I will
The Smiths debut is riddle with 👧🧒 assault lyrics “It's time the tale were told Of how you took a child And you made him old” “Oh, reel around the fountain Slap me on the patio I'll take it now” The Hand that Rocks the Cradle… This Charming Man… “Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate Will nature make a man of me yet? When in this charming car This charming man” “So, goodbye Please stay with your own kind And I'll stay with mine There's something against us It's not time, it's not time So, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye…” ^Possible Stockholm Syndrome I think these songs are sung from the perspective of the children who were killed from the Moors Murders. Suffer Little Children album is very uncomfortable
The problem with this album is that it's far too long and I have to stop listening to it to take in the rest of the stuff. I don't like to do that 😅 This album is too good to play it in the background.
I know this is a very unpopular opinion, and I promise I’m not trying to be contrarian, but I just find this album to be severely overrated. It isn’t a bad album at all, but is it as life changing as most people make it out to be? I am not convinced.
@@charlesconoly6776 I have since noticed it pop up on eBay for £79.99. I haven’t listened to it yet but I plan to. It’s going to have to be pretty spectacular for me to pay £79.99.
Having only listened to this album fully once, my impression of it was: The vibes were immaculate, but it's pretty much all vibes. Really enjoyed my time with it but couldn’t hum a tune from it. It's possible that it will be stickier on a subsequent listen but for me, that is very rare. To use a film analogy, it is like The Northman or The Hangover. I had a great time in the theatre but I don't feel drawn to watch them again. I watch Casablanca and The Princess Bride every year, though. I'm looking for an album that can be that for me. I didn’t quite get one in 2024 like I did with "Everything Harmony" in 2023.
the next day after everyone has already left for work seems like the perfect time to pick this album specifically up. imo.
