Kanye West
Kanye's placement is odd.
> Discussing music
> Rock
> Pop
Kanye isn't the rap artist I would bring up in this context.
> Being a fan of Kanye would get you laughed at
< Why all the detail about Kanye?
Responding to question about physical time travel vs. Communicating through time travel:
> "I'm going to give as simple of an answer as I can:
It is only through the internet. That is a huge understatement, but it's all I can say."
< No outside comms?
> Some consider Yeezus to be AOTY in 2013
> Kanye, along with his work, become hated
> "In early 2016 he releases another album. Pitchfork pans it and /mu/ disowns him. It's called, I shit you not, "The Darkness."
< additional odd mentions
< album (2/2016) is titled Life of Pablo
< "The Darkness" = Dark to Light?
> "the terrible album cover"
< it is quite shitty
> "The whole debacle is hilarious, and in general the things that happen on /mu/ throughout 2016 are just amazing. It's a great year for /mu/. After that, Kanye loses a lot of relevance, but is revered as one of the best pop stars of the 2000s"
Radiohead King of Limbs
> followed up by Moon Shaped Pool (2016)
< interesting name for the album
< track #1: Burn the Witch
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Moon_Shaped_Pool
> "Other themes include climate change and call for revolution on "The Numbers", and the dangers of authority and groupthink on "Burn the Witch". Yorke asked himself whether it was still possible to write political songs, worrying they alienated some listeners, but decided it was better than writing "another lovey-dovey song about nothing". He was conscious that lyrics such as "a river running dry" and "the system is a lie" were cliches, but felt there was no other way to state them: "How else are you supposed to say 'the system is a lie'? Why bother hiding it? It's a lie. That's it.""
< extremely interesting quote from the Wiki considering current events
< too many interesting quotes from the Wiki to quote
Music in general
> "Get ready for 2016, though. If I could go back to any year of /mu/ (which hopefully I will be able to, soon) it would be 2016. I'll leave it at that."
< yet another hint about 2016 being special
< given he's taking about music, could he have been talking about Kanye and his awakening?
