@arvofart Yes! It was mentioned on a 'best scary movie music' episode on "all songs considered" (or something like that... it was around halloween). so i finally watched it -- and agree that the score is doing something really special.
@Komaniecki_R Ramaswamy would also argue -- incorrectly -- that it'll lower housing prices due to the decrease in demand. It's craven, but that's been the main justification I heard over the election cycle from the right.
@Komaniecki_R I think it's usually meant to evoke a "flow state", which I think minimalism captures pretty well, tbh. The other option would be, like, ambient music, but maybe that wouldn't have as much of a dramatic effect.
@Komaniecki_R Maybe too fussy, but I might consider the V7 "in Bb" as a V7/Phrygian II (V/Neapolitan) because I'm not sure I hear us move to Bb. A minor is so firmly established and the Bb is so fleeting. Your point still stands. I love harmonic ambiguity!
i've seen the video. it's even worse than you could imagine. he argues that the king of limbs is severely underrated -- and, in fact, is the best radiohead album -- and that in rainbows is overrated.
@Square_Pidgeon lol there's rumors that there's some campaign-ending video that's gonna drop soon... i assume it's his unpopular takes on radiohead that will finally do him in
