short stories of kafka

Probably something monotonous, edgy, and American. Try Peter Sotos.

Gira wrote a book and it's probably just as fucking bad as his band is.

Michael Gira has at least one collection of short stories out, very similar to Swans

>>6225100

LMAO children of god was literally their only good album along with Cop and maybe just MAYBE filth if you consider its historical context. STFTB is literal trash

>posts an album of music to /lit/ - Literature
>gets defensive

just read some fucking books you plen, you don't need Swans in your life at all and it's a stupid fad anyway

Music doesn't translate to words.

>>6225118

this is why people on /lit/ should keep away from music talk, they know nothing.

> dfw except me obviously

>>6225123
But I love them, one of the most interesting bands I know.

>>6225123
That poster isn't me (OP) you fucking faggot

>>6225133

are your other favorites perhaps Death Grips, Radiohead, Deerhoof, MC Doom, My Bloody Valentine, and Neutral Milk Hotel by any chance?

>>6225145
Only Radiohead, MBV and NMH.

>>6225155

holy shiiiit ah haahaha

there's an age requirement for this board you know

>>6225129
Lel lyrics

>>6225133
they're interesting in the sense that they aren't most other projects, but nothing Swans try to present as shocking or macabre really comes across as anything besides "superfluous white male attempts to shock other white people with virtually every living breath"

>>6225134
>/lit/ - Literature
nah, you're still the fagbot

>>6225145
>muh mu-core is bad because entry
It may be entry level but that doesn't take away from their greatness you ass

>>6225145

Do you mean mf DOOM? If so I'm indifferent (same with most of the other bands you posted (death grips (who I don't like) and NMH (who I'm fond of) being the exceptions))

>>6225100

>>6225174
I enjoy the atmosphere and the animalistic sound they have, I can drown myself in the repetition of their songs. There is a lot of great impressionism in their lyrics. White Noise From the Mouth of Infinity, The Great Anihalator, Children of God and Filth would be my favourite Swans albums.

>>6225186
yeah it does, it means that you're only into them because of a singularity of thought present on a board such as /mu/ and that you are willfully limiting yourself to popular choices from your peers

if you weren't limiting yourself, you wouldn't have asked us for such a stupid comparison as a noise rock album to 'literature'

>>6225197
>I can drown myself in the repetition of their songs

Please do.

>>6225198
Once again, not me you faggot.

>>6225197
check out stars of the lid or a winged victory for the sullen, industrial music is just pointless. it's about the artistic equivalent of writing 'this is not art' on the wall

>>6225116
>>6225107
Swans do have talent which is worthy of respect, but the most devout fans in my experience have been rape/abuse victims. Good on them that the music touches that awful trauma, but it may explain why it all sounds like some gypsy orchestra weaving cacophony about..something profound and solemn to guys like me.

>>6225145
No faggot.

the top 10 greatest bands of all time are:
Swans
Throbbing Gristle
Boyd Rice and Friends
Nihilist Spasm Band
Current 93
Hum of the Druid
Controlled Bleeding
Nick Drake
Leonard Cohen
and Ez-E

fucking cunt.

is your favourite book Infinite Jest??? FAG

>>6225186

explain their greatness.

Swans had two or three amazing albums at the beginning of their career, Cop being their magnum opus even though everyone ignores it today. Cop is literally the father to the 90s.

Radiohead had one average electronic album which was Amnesiac. They were disgustingly banal before that, and have been riding on the fame of Kid A and OK Computer (other than Amnesiac) until today.

MF Doom is admittedly good. But liking him is still a meme.

Deerhoof is trash.

My Bloody Valentine made a 6-pedal porn album and everyone has copied it since. Influential, sure. Good? ahahaha

NMH is literally a meme. Nothing more.

Death Grips' only talent is Zach hill and only because of hella. Exmilitary was alright.

>>6225212
>demanding to be saluted personally on an anonymous imageboard

what does the good doctor believe the diagnosis is, anon?

I'm guessing chronic bad taste

Anais Nin's Delta of Venus.
I'm just saying that because of the part when the Baron shoves his cock down his son's throat.

>>6225222

> Swans

okay what era though? If not Cop era then buzzzz wrong answer

> Throbbing Gristle

acceptable answer

> Boyd Rice and Friends

no

> Nihilist Spasm Band

AHAHAHA well meme'd

> Current 93

vomit

> Hum of the Druid

you threw an obscure one in to sound smart. You're not.

> Controlled Bleeding

Not terrible but why top 10

> Nick Drake

Why not Bert Jansch? More influential and talented. Drake is still good ofc

> Cohen

nah

> Ez-E

so you mean I've been seriously replying to a shitpost? fuck you

>>6225249

Hum of the Druid os the Gustave Dore of Industrial music, fag-lord.

>>6225230
You referred to the OP as if the other anon posted it, suggesting you thought the anon was none other than OP, good backpedaling though. My shitpost is a lot more successful than I thought it would be. Maybe I'll post a Pynchon thread in /mu/

>>6225222
lol these retarded band names

>>6225266
I will not engage with this level of superfluity

you don't need to exist

who /wire/ here?

>>6225275
Im not on /mu/, but I'll post it anyway

God damn, I love trolling
Fast trolls, long trolls, always keeps me lol'ing
Gonna come on /mu/ after a long day of class
Looking for anons to cause pain in their ass

Baiting rules and /mu/ drools

>industrial music is just pointless. it's about the artistic equivalent of writing 'this is not art' on the wall

Ok, retard.

You're obviously the type of faggot you listens to music for entertainment. Industrial music is probably the most interesting form of expression ever. What's so fascinating about writing "this is not art" on the wall? fucking stupid pleb. DIE, FUCKING DIE!!!!!!!!

>>6225229
This man doesn't know anything at all about music.

>>6225332
comment sont vos Jimmies, monsieur Anon?

>>6225345

because you can't refute some very basic facts, and because you haven't heard more than maybe 100 albums in your life?

keep listening to that fagtano all you want

"this sounds are made with an electric instrument, which reminds me of this swans album! light 7."

>>6225346

I don't speak French, faggot.

>>6225353
I've heard at least 400. And I don't really post on mu or watch Fantano.
You basic facts were random unargumented opinions there is nothing for me to refute. It's the equivalent of saying Dostoevsky made one average existential book, he didn't make anything else worthwhile.

>>6225353
post your top 10 albums, cunt-lips.

>>6225371
>I've heard at least 400

that's not much better mate

that's basically nothing

I'm guessing that's probably like 200 artists and 2 albums each on average? Again, literally nothing. Nothing you say has any weight.

>>6225354
that's strange -- someone who listens to swans doesn't have any culture in them?

>>6225381
>that's basically nothing
You've got to be shitting me mate.

>>6225123
>stupid fad
>popular in the music underground for 29 years
>"mainstream" popular since 2012
that's not a fucking fad, boy

>>6225387
I'm Native American. Why would I want to learn the language of a bunch of smelly neanderthals? KEK

>>6225381
Wait what exactly are you trying to prove? Sure, I'm no music expert, but what exactly are the arguments that Swans or Radiohead aren't good bands? I for one wish to hear why they aren't, but you haven't made a case beyond
>it's a meme

>>6225391

Come back once that number is about 4 times larger. And at least a third of them are jazz albums. And you have extensive knowledge of music theory and composition. And you've studied a wide repertoire of art music.

Right now you're just some retarded /mu/kid ("b-but I don't go to /mu/ I swear!") who uses music as a totebag to look cool.

>>6225401
They aren't even mainstream popular. They have 8000 views on YT on To Be Kind

>>6225403
idk, because it was the lingua franca between Latin and English and therefore some corresponding amount of the world's culture is written in French?

but that kind of reasoning probably wouldn't do anything for you without some edgy aesthetic to sell it over. maybe start with Sartre or Camus and act like this conversation never happened, it's a shitty way to live but it's better than listening to fucking Swans.

>>6225405
Firstly more anons are discussing your autism. Secondly you haven't even made a point past my imaginary penis is larger than yours.

>>6225408

> swans

> not mainstream popular

look at their facebook page

> almost 200,000 likes
> not fucking popular

>>6225411

I saw Swans perform twice already with no ear-plugs. Fucking loser, are you implying edgy=bad? Hopefully you get raped by a pack of dogs tomorrow.

>>6225415

because it is larger

>>6225408
lmao
4chan doesn't own swans, you are aware. there are tens of thousands of real-life autists just as dedicated to the same shitty art as you are.

>>6225415

firstly is a disgusting word
pls don't use

>>6225432
Sorry mate.

>>6225431
I'm not very dedicated to music. It's just something I enjoy immensely. I don't play any instruments or know about music theory. I was trying to understand what is wrong with said bands.

>>6225436

2/10 sarcasm, sorry bud. you've been making yourself look like a retarded fag too much, time to fuck your mums ass with a small gardening shovel. :^)

>>6225447
art is about the idea, not the frame. 'harsh noise' and 'adult contemporary' basically genre fiction

>>6225448
you're enabling shitty art on a literature board

are you now avowed to do otherwise?

>>6225450
But they are just experimental new wave/post rock. Not any harsher than any number of less interesting bands.

>>6225457

nice job throwing labels you don't understand around to make yourself sound like you know something

>>6225459
Fuck off you /lit mu/ meme drone with a large imaginary penis

>>6225453
>>6225459

this is why people with autism don't deserve computers.

>>6225462
>>6225464

> throwing genre labels around to describe a band

> I'M the autistic one

okay

>>6225418
Well fuck me, didn't know To be Kind was that big of a success. I often lisen to their albums on yt and they have 6000 views on average.

>>6225107
Bro I wanted to read that book is it truly bad

>>6225468
>saying that Dostoevsky was a realist with strong Christian ideals is autism because you describe him with genre words

>>6225468

Only an autist would save that many pictures of some guys face? What else have you used those pictures for? fucking loser.
