@yarslav If you use YT to educate yourself then it hasn’t changed.

[Cornelis Gerard @CornelisGerard]

@srarachl Can I interest you in some grungy alt-rock or perhaps some new wave and indie pop?

[Cornelis Gerard @CornelisGerard]

@Tiijdij I’ll be honest, what usually bugs me that people seem to lower their standards for musical comedy. The music wouldn’t stand up on its own and neither would the comedy. But people seem to give it a pass because it’s both at the same time.

@jamesonhodge Does the sinus cavity and nose play a part? It definitely affects singing when I have a cold!

[Cornelis Gerard @CornelisGerard]

@soy_boy All time banger with interesting chord changes.

@HiddenYorkshire 2/2 …back then as today the industry wants to to package and market music in a particular way but the musicians themselves enjoy playing and being influenced by all kinds genres. So the fact that Robert Johnson for example played ragtime and early country is downplayed

[Cornelis Gerard @CornelisGerard]

@HiddenYorkshire 1/2 I’ve also read that those early Blues musicians played all kinds of genres of music but the record companies only wanted them to record the songs and style that we now call the Blues. Right from the beginning they were creating the marketing mythology. The reality is that…

@HoeAnnaMiami I remember reading or seeing interviews with Brian Higgins but I can’t find them right now. But here are some other people from Xenomania https://t.co/b8ZP7ZI7CX and https://t.co/oCum2Nhv36 are some examples

@signulll It is exceptional! What other life form has written symphonies and launched rockets into space?

[Cornelis Gerard @CornelisGerard]

@PTrubey @signulll Well if it took you ChatGPT to learn this….

@onorma_ Robert Plant. I spoke briefly with him in a Sainsbury’s checkout line. I didn’t make a fuss of it but I had my guitar with me so he probably figured I knew who he was. He was chill.

[Cornelis Gerard @CornelisGerard]

@fin0cchi0 Yes been saying this forever. We all have the understanding of different accents and ability to mimic them to an extent but it’s locked behind the ‘that would be bigoted’ wall.

@Evilkatto @StonerArtistGF @Carpe_Noctem89 @RudraRipoll @karatademada Most artists throughout history have had a day job and made art in their free time.

[Cornelis Gerard @CornelisGerard]

@wolnorw Because music is a language. People learn to speak their native language without knowing grammar. They just know what sounds correct. Music theory = music grammar. It can be useful but ear training , what you are doing) is the most important.

[Cornelis Gerard @CornelisGerard]

@PoleCatSpat I went through the same process but unfortunately 1) it’s taught in a stupid way (especially to guitar players) like languages in school 2) most of the people I encountered when I was younger who knew lots of theory made terrible music

[Cornelis Gerard @CornelisGerard]

@Evilkatto @karatademada Do it for the love of art

[Cornelis Gerard @CornelisGerard]

@Evilkatto @karatademada Yes poor people can just buy a pencil and find a scrap of paper to draw on.
