yes.

 

[barlowdog]

Cool. I'll check it out.

I bought the album for $5.

I liked it but the novelty wore off. I gave it to a friend who seemed very enamoured by it.

 

[IWasBored]

i really didn't like that cd. the novelty wasn't even enough to make me enjoy the covers of the guns of brixton or teeange kicks

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

They (she?) do a good cover of 'This is not a love song.'

 

[hiphop]

I like it for the drums and for her voice, and the chords/ song itself I don´t know the album but might look for the cover Sweetest mentioned.

Novelty? there´s nothing new no more. Creative development? Or new sounds for that matter, I turn to DnB or Electro. Mashing. Check out my man Vandal of the Digital Konfusion crew if you will.

Playing: DJ Vadim - Bluebirds. Very chill.

It's lounge covers of punk/new wave songs. That's still novelty.

 

[hiphop]

talking about the sound or the concept?

It's lounge covers of punk/new wave songs. That's still novelty.

If you think the concept is new, ok.. to me, it does not sound incredibly new and innovative (rather retro - the swing of the cymbals´rhythm creates a 60s jazzy mood which is also typical of the first acid jazz ninja tune records in 94), but then I don´t measure the quality of songs with a novelty meter.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

I wasn't referring to its concept.

I'm saying it's gimmicky.

Agreed. And gimmicky is novelty? Hmh, considering the mashup craze.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

And gimmicky is novelty?

In a way it is. Dread Zeppelin, for example. It's a gimmick, and the result is a humourous novelty record.

Ok -then Dub Side of the Moon by the Easy Star All Stars would fall into that category too.

I know this is not a topic about the Dead Kennedys, but I just want to say that I really love them...
