MicShazam will listen to anything.

I will listen to anything. Feed me, and I will give my (probably ignorant) opinion.

Although I would like it if you tried to find something that I would maybe appreicate. This would require you to understand what I want from music, so that's a long shot

Give me your best/worst shot.

I'm the most inane member of MB, so it will just be undercooked opinions and nothing in depth.

Actually, the thing is that I'm bored to that degree where I'd like to taste the business end of a shotgun just for the novel sensation of something new.

^Very odd. I mean, the music is in thoroughly non-odd territory, but the lyrics play around with the topic of gender change. It kind of humorously plays with escalation of the idea to the point of absurdity. Seems like it was really just intended to be a bit of silly non-committal fun, but it comes off as oddly uneasy about the idea of being trans gender.

Am I crazy, or does these lyrics come off as horribly dated in 2018?

Ignoring all that, it was a decent listening experience. The singer tried his hardest to be an annoying fruit, but he has a fairly likeable voice.

I loved this so much. In fact, I loved it so much, that I hated that it faded out during a really ecstatic moment near the end of the clip. I could totally see this artist collaborating with Barbara Morgenstern. The music in this Youtube video doesnt' only have a fantastic aesthetic on it's own, but recalls a variety of artists that I like, such as Barbara Morgenstern, Jenny Hval, and maybe even Olga Bell.

I find this video clip and the accompanying music to hit that particular divide that I find so magical. It's not fantastical, but it's not quite like reality either. It's heightened reality.

This is where all the best art is to be found in my world view. Not entirely simple escapism, but not quite banal reality either. A stronger experience of the real. Not recalling elves and wizards, but some perhaps romanticized, heightened experience of this world, with it's infrastructures, impersonal electronically facilitated communication.
There's something magical about music that manages to make the modern and impersonal seem very full of character and life.

Pardon me if I'm coming off as pretentious or something. I'm just trying to convey how some music feels more "real" to me than a lot of other music that maybe tries do be "real" and grounded.

The above track somehow hits very close to home for me. I feel like this music speaks to the experience I have of reality. Can't explain it any better than that.

Very glad you enjoyed it so much.
They also remind me of Barbara Morgenstern which was an additional reason I assumed you'd dig it.

I like it on some level, but It's stuck on that "good for a hip hop track" level. Maybe I need to do some work to get beyond that.

I did listen to it several times and did get into some kind of groove, but I'm just not that into it.
