I'm just a juggernaut surfing on an avalanche
I wanna love a lot, searching just to have a chance
My past love didn't pan out
Help your man out, not on some hand out
No, but my style is stand out
Ex-girl to next girl maybe with a little triple-X girl
Don't get it too complex girl
Just straight killing my vibe
And I catch your best lay going from mind since I left her

The Avalanches – Since I Left You (2000)
18 tracks, 1 hr 39 sec
Rating: 8/10
Top Track: Since I Left You
Something a bit different by, I think, most people's standards today with an album centered around sampling. Historically I have been pretty anti-sampling but have in the past few years realized its artistic value a bit more, so I was looking forward to this. Hadn't heard the band at all until a few days ago when Two Hearts in 3/4 Time was linked somewhere and I took a listen. At that point I was already considering listening to an album by the Avalanches, but this cemented the deal.
Definitely enjoyed this, though it took some getting used to. It's honestly incredibly impressive just thinking about what went into this album, and it resulted in this really remarkable final product. What struck me was how cohesive this album was as a whole despite using samples so heavily. As someone who knows little about actually making music, that strikes me as difficult, but then what do I know? At any rate, a great album, though again loses some points because I really wouldn't play these tracks individually much at all, and some of them I straight up wouldn't enjoy in that fashion. As an album, though, it's fantastic. Tracks (or maybe portions?) I enjoyed the most included Stay Another Season, Two Hearts in 3/4 Time, and Frontier Psychiatrist.

i want to make one thing very, very fucking clear about my take on ai art. i think it’s ugly, boring, and not advanced enough to do anything actually interesting or subversive. i like my drawing tablet, and coming up with fun little stories in my head, and have no plans to use ai anytime soon.
but I do care about collage, found art, photo montage, parody, music sampling, fanart, and fanfic the theft narrative is going to affect. these are real artists passionate about their craft, who put a lot of work, love, and care into what they make. no less than the illustrators and digital artists who are (largely) spearheading this movement.
fair use is fragile enough already. toying with copyright law is bringing a fucking nuke to a knife fight. if a bunch of art forms get killed off because y’all couldn’t get their priorities straight, if visual art and writing become as restrictive and soul sucking as the record industry, if “art styles” become valid grounds for a lawsuit, i’ll never forgive you.
you’re not sticking it to the corporations by simping for copyright law. you’re just switching from one boot for another, even more harmful boot

I really want the entirety of the human race to be aware of the existence of the Avalanches.
They're a group of samplers who made probably my favorite album ever (Since I letti you) and listening to them actually helped me overcome a lot of negative feelings and gave me Hope for the future.

The music was nice. Lyrics were repetitive. But the story the video told was great!
