I’m not disputing your point, sorry. I meant to highlight the rampant speculation in the market almost right away, before 2 came out. It has died down since then as more supply has become readily available. Someone made money off the early days though.

It seems to me as if you just want to be contrarian or hipper than thou but have no substance underlying your sneer of a commentary.

You’re describing a bunch of separate ingredients that are out there showing up in great music like that you mentioned. You should think about turning that into a useful and relevant point that actually supports your original criticism.

Are you asking us to believe that Ravi Shankar - as amazing as he is - scratches the same itch as this because, what, he also makes micro-tonal music like a shit ton of non western artists do, or is “progressive” relative to western music. It just makes no sense.

By your logic, there is nothing impressive about George Harrison incorporating sitar into rock music in the 1960s, which explains why Tomorrow Never Knows is widely remembered as a shitty knock off.

I’m sorry to sound harsh but you’ve really added nothing but a failed air of superiority to this thread, and it’s stinking up the joint.

I was worried it wouldn’t hold up without the visual spectacle underscoring how technically impressive it is, but I’ve spun this latest record a few times now and it’s genuinely great. Sounds fantastic too.

I didn’t realize they were Canadian until now. You guys have so many great artists up there. On a per capita basis you’ve got the US smoked.

I just posted a Metric album a few days ago, and I’ve got a Hollerado record on the way though I’m not sure if they qualify as local legends

Getting punched out by an angry passenger would be gold for these people. Christians have this weird and totally unearned persecution complex (2026 suggests it has all been projection all along) that a preacher getting punched would totally feed into.

All the more if the Airline actually did something.
