Yeah, but you're still on the defensive.

Well, it'll probably contain a bit of the usual 60's pop stuff, but not too much. I would dip into the 70's a bit, but LMP called funk already. I want to focus more on the deeper, southern gospel-flavored kinds of soul. And, of course, Philly always had a great soul scene.

Well, I think it's quite broad to say that all soul music in the 70s was funk or related to it, don't you think? Surely you can dip in there a little.

I suggested that I make a pre-60s playlist, if anyone's interested in that.

I want to know what it DID say!

You literally hear a very loud, monotonous sound for 20 minutes.

Like Radiohead?



Simple, effective.

 

[Axver]

Tell me about it. I have about 150 years of black soul music to whittle down.

Have fun with that. Also have fun trying to convincing me to listen.

I currently have nearly 3 hours of Dunedin Sound music on my playlist. Hopefully I can cut that down to two discs. I'm trying to showcase some of the scene's lesser known bands as well as the big ones like The Chills and The Clean. You'll probably get every song Terraces ever released (all TWO of them!) out of this compilation.

I actually think the revised call owned you more.

Indeed.

Speaking of broad...

I have learned from my mistake. I'll be more laconic next time.

I am a simple, petty man.

Alright, a strictly 30s one then? Or 20s?

 

[Varitek]

wow i typed that like 30 minutes ago and then forgot i'd gotten 45'd. guess this thread moved a tiny bit!

 

[LemonMelon]

Alright, a strictly 30s one then? Or 20s?

What genre are you going for here, exactly?

Don't tell Ian.

Is it wrong that I automatically expect any music prior to the 1950s to suck?

Yes, yes it is. But I do anyway.

Yes, you and my father would get along swimmingly. He says the same thing to me about old music on a regular basis.

 

[Varitek]

Yeah. I suck at it and it takes forever. Ironing for the fail.

but you do it all the time!

i have to iron for my au pair job a bit. ugh. i don't see why they think kids' clothes need ironing. but oh well.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I sort of wanted to demonstrate that the time wasn't all just what a lot of people today see it as. Not just slow Bing Crosby ballads or Sing, Sing, Sing. I wanted to demonstrate the roots of country in old Appalachian music as well as include a smash-hit from the late 30s that included 'fuck' in the chorus. Also a Phil Harris song that I see as a root of rap.

No I don't! I've probably ironed about twice in the last three months.

fine, you talk about it all the time.

Showing that the 30's isn't all that different from today, huh? Cool. I like the concept.

You mean the good old days weren't all purity and goodness?

 

[Axver]

I need to do it all the time, but I rarely do. Though I think I will have to soon. Bah!

I also need to find the time to bake a new batch of muffins ...

 

[Axver]

OK, nearing new thread time. Do we want to do Gary, Indiana, or do we want to finally let Bonnie do her thread?

 

[mysterious_jen]

hi big bone lickers.

Is it wrong that I expect all metal to suck?

 

[bono_212]

Axver, I'm from near Gary...there is no reason to EVER go to Gary

But Gazza just owned Hillary.

Oh let us NOT delve into this conversation Ax

 

[The Sad Punk]

Hi Jen!

You mean the good old days weren't all purity and goodness?

In a lot of ways, they were just as rude or ruder than they are now. Night clubs had the cocaine, opiates, booze and more emphasis on fucking. Before bullshit censorship came in in the early 30s, a lot of American movies were quite risque. Plus the depression and the war and all that.

Or do you want me to make Gary?
