Jim O'Rourke and his Influence

[@vicaldama9314]

Dang. Been listening to this dude for longer than I thought and I still never wrapped my head over it..

[@koolademandude4018]

I am so happy that I found his music :)

[@justtony6081]

this is really well done, I'm happy I came across this while trying to learn about this guy.

[@ClearSoundzArchives]

I love the cynthia dall album so much. That album is really good.

[@jessarc6715]

very grateful for this video, a well needed guide to this great artist!

[@domakesaythink00]

very cool essay. Didn't know about hte Brise-Glace group

[@shastagulch]

excellent video. thank you. jim o'rourke is the real deal

[@windowsxp1902]

sachiko m and sonic youth connected by jim o’rourke. wow. such different artists

[@frostytoes686]

And smog

“An anomaly of the music industry” Love the presentation. Jim’s work keeps me enamored year after year. And his recent string of ambient works are in heavy rotation for me. Not even to mention his work with Eiko on the WONDERFUL “Drive My Car” soundtrack. Man I adore that film and it’s music.

[@nguerra1117]

i really enjoyed this video, eureka is the only album of his that i've heard so far and it's great

[@Dehangus]

Eureka is a classic, I love Jim O'Rourke, he's one of my favorite artists. All 6 of his albums are amazing and even his ambient/noise album I'm happy, and I'm singing, and a 1,2,3,4 is really good. Eureka is my 5th favorite but seems to be the most well known and so the one most people start with. The essential JO albums in my book are insignificance, halfway to a threeway, and bad timing.

[@Dehangus]

That was a long way of saying you should get those 3 also

[@domakesaythink00]

I think Insignificance is a lot better but they're both insanely good.

[@Elifigbranch]

Some great material on the Loose Fur albums as well, so prolific hard to mention everything. Always loved O'Rourke and learned several ew things. Thanks.

[@mysonbased]

didnt know you uploaded this to yt but really good video dude

[@Dehangus]

You guys are in the same class huh? Wish I was in school with some jim orourke fans, most people think Insignificance is too weird. It's in my top 10, and Halfway to a threeway and Bad timing are absolute classics as well. Fucking love this mans music.

[@mysonbased]

@@Dehangus naw we're just friends on twitter

[@Dehangus]

@@mysonbased Haha alright. Respect the frog, peace brotha.

[@Dehangus]

@@mysonbased Oh you know what? While I'm here I might as well tell you that there's a second Jim O'Rourke in a sense, his name is Bonnie Prince Billy he is also on drag city they've worked together. If you havent heard of him and you're actually interested let me know, I'll tell you what album's of his are good.

[@sky-zc3uz]

@@Dehangus i suppose i'm too late to get those recommendations?

[@stevevickerman9586]

Very good video, but surprisingly it didn’t mention his work on Loose Fur?

[@darkcnotion]

Thanks. Interesting details

[@AutomaticForTheCollector]

Very nice. There's no mention of the last album, "Simple Songs", however.

[@joelruiz8933]

Great video

[@dwiggzmasterflex]

Jim is the man.

[@Slimjimb]

Thanks. Excellent.

[@gabrielosorio9033]

well done, yet you missed his collaboration with fennesz and rehberg and his Mego material.

[@AwesomeRob64]

Could you give a link to that chart with his different production credits?

@@mayafarber2432 this is great, thank you!

[@Bugleberry]

What an artist. Wish more people knew his works

[@spitegoblin1574]

great vid!

[@thebrokenclaim]

MAESTRO

[@jasonmelo1974]

You skipped right over his third solo album! You also skipped over his EP! That's just weird.

[@teddydog6229]

Don’t feel badly Miranda. Given half a chance I would happily teach you to sing badly myself.

You forgot loose fur episode

[@teddydog6229]

NYC Ghosts and Flowers actually got a ZERO from the Sonic Youth suckups at Pitchfork ? That’s closer to whiplash than backlash. I admit it’s probably my least favorite Sonic Youth album as well but I don’t hate it. I’d say a good half of that album is as strong as any of their work and where they really lose the plot is with the lyrics. Anyway imo this was a band that never released a completely worthless album and Pitchfork needs to try and control its mood swings.

[@LfunkeyA]

good job on teaching icarly how not to sing. otherwise we'd have to worry about yet another bland modern pop icon diluting our brain cells.
