@gemlog Ha-ha-ha! In fact she thinks high of my musical taste and got a good one herself, it's just that in my eyes (ears? 🤔) this music is so complex and varied that it never gets old and when I'm having a few beers with friends it never takes me too long to choose what record to put on.
But I can imagine that not everyone sees it that way and it can get even to the most open-minded ones 😆

@enduser@berserker.town With a side dish of sweet potatoes please 😹

@gemlog I think it takes time to grow on you. I'm fond of that period so I have all these records on CDs except for In a Silent Way and I listen to it a lot — once I was putting a CD in like I often do and a friend of mine told me: "WTF, man, not Miles Davis again! Let's listen to something more… easy on the ears!". I come to her place a few months later to get my keyboard stand and I find her listenin to Bitches Brew, she even used John McLaughlin from that album for alarm clock🤣

@gemlog Understandable! It's not everyone's cup of tea and hardly the most accessible music ever recorded, for me discovering this album was a coincidence, I went to Sony store to get a couple of CDs, I got Pearl Jam's Binaural which just came out and Bitches Brew. I was interested in improvisation at the time and this album just hit a sweet spot. But that era is considered controversial in his career because of that drastic change, even some of the old fans didn't like new sound.

@neural_meduza За такое сразу расстреливать надо — неспособный приготовить кашу недостоин жить на казённых харчах 😆

@glowl Could also be one of the microbiological… or not. She looks big enough to me 😄

@gemlog Pretty cool, right? It may seem totally random, almost free jazz-like, but while it is heavily based on improvisation, it's structured at the same time. On studio album they even employ editing techniques available at that time — tape loops and such. Wider lineup also had more instumentalists that allowed for some interesting stereo effects. And live versions off Miles Davis at Fillmore are just amazing!
I love the whole late 60-ies early 70-ies period of his career!

@lore And they did a really poor job making it. It's a pain to look at without customizations. Even the fonts are disgusting! It amazes me that company this big can't hire good designers, they seem to be fond of awful disign. And they make it even worse with every version 🤣

@neural_meduza Ну в общем да. Вымышленный Лавров честнее настоящего 😏

@neural_meduza Ну так себе борьба — шило на мыло.

@ancient_catbus Aah, it's just Wednesday, they'll get used to it 😆

@donno Just discovered this pack today. They are far from being as consistent as Arcticons, but I think they'll work well with light theme 🤔

@neural_meduza Вот до чего международная изоляция доводит — даже в Питере с первым проблемы! Гуманитарной помощи ждать неоткуда 😱

@gemlog I agree, when it's well done, you just let the technical details go and enjoy the story or the visuals/sound or appreciate attention to details. When I listened to Miles Davis' Bitches Brew for the first time I couldn't understand a thing about how it was done, it was just too complex to comprehend, but it still did sound beautiful. I've learned quite a lot about music in general and about this album in particular — that feeling is long gone, but I still enjoy it immensely!

@gemlog Yes, same with music — it's a professional deformation and ruins the fun for some, they no longer listen to it, but surgically dissect it: here is the time signature change, here is that chord progression, here is this synth and it's programmed this way… For me it usually doesn't. Well, maybe I started noticing poor use of plot devices in the movies more after reading John Truby's Anatomy of Story, but that's a rare exception 😄

@gemlog Nice move actually! No Citizen Kane, but still very good. Most of the movie it is night time or early morning, so the coloring fits perfectly. There is another movie by J.C. Chandor,A Most Violent Year or something like that, it's also colored teal & orange, there is a bit more prominent, but still not off-putting. I think this director puts it to good use.
