Warning; really extraordinarily not safe for work or for, well, anything really

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I have it saved in my music video folder.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

Billionaires are bad. That includes Taylor Swift. She could do so much good with her money but she doesn't.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 2 days ago

thats because shes been pretty conservaitve as of late, i suspect always has been. hanging out with a magat grifter, trying to pretend to be like she is poor being moved to tennesee by her parents to jumpstart her career. she was quite careful about her politics until very recently.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 52 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Not because they have a new album or anything, it's because the metric includes background music in "shorts" and I guess people keep using aphex twin

[–] navigator@piefed.zip 6 points 2 days ago

I make music and one of my goals is to get a song picked up by the shorts/tiktok algorithm so the streams grow exponentially. lol

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

That second album really was incredible.

[–] mrunicornman@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Cat videos strike again. A tale as old as the internet.

The world is beginning to heal.

Meanwhile: PSA reminder that Mr. James himself recommended to listen to ‘Richard D. James Album’ at 33 rpm instead of 45 at which it was released. Works with ‘Drukqs’ too. Basically more Aphex for free.

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That’s really cool! I played an arrangement of To Cure a Weakling Child in indoor percussion once. Listening to the slower version sounds really cool!

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Slowing down music works pretty well sometimes.

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There's hope

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

For a Taylor Swift deep house album?

[–] GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Windowlicker (Taylor's Version)

[–] tyler@programming.dev 6 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Who?

[–] HeartyOfGlass@piefed.social 93 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Taylor Swift is a popular singer.

I hope that helps

[–] four@lemmy.zip 21 points 3 days ago (2 children)

For additional context, Aphex Twin is not a popular singer

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

For additional context Aphex Twin is a Grammy winning artist with 30+ releases and is celebrated among those who value music.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world -4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

so is taylor swift

dont think she's hit 30 albums yet though

[–] Nanook@lemmy.zip 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

For additional context Taylor Swift is a Grammy winning artist who isn’t celebrated among those who value music.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

she should be celebrated. no point in being pretentious. 1989 and red are bangers

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Billionaires should be eaten, not celebrated.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

talking about music here pal not your cannibal fantasy

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You're welcome to enjoy them but for most of us she makes bland pop and country music.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

recently id agree its pretty bland but the 2 albums i mentioned are certified bangers and i wouldnt call them bland in any regard

[–] Nanook@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just because it’s popular doesn’t mean it’s good or original.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

just because its popular doesnt mean its bad or bland.

[–] Nanook@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Except in this case. Plus fuck billionaires and their bootlickers.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

dont care for your personal opinion on the music nor your sexual kinks maybe take it to celeb nsfw or something

[–] Nanook@lemmy.zip 0 points 22 hours ago

Seems like you care a lot, you keep responding
