what do you have against negro music

[PLEASEHELP1991]

what do you have against negro music

i should have been clear: the exploitation of negro music

[[hedy]Zidone]

oh you know just the birth of rock and fucking roll

80s blowz, 50z rules

Which, in my opinion, was pretty much silly bullshit until around 1965.

1950s.

1950s.

at least the 50s had bebop (and other big jazz developments), can't say I'm a fan of rock from that period either, though.

Rock was a novelty back then, if you don't enter into it expecting any artistic merit than it can be enjoyable. Comparable to Hair Metal except without the faux-rebellious image.

good point, I like country/honkytonk/folk (real folk) from that period more anyway, which I guess is where rock came from.

[silvertone]

From the songs I have heard, the difference between country, 'pop jazz', rock etc. probably sounded really polarized back then, but now you can hear the obvious influence they had on each other. Such as jazz solos in country-ish songs and 'loud' RnB, shit like that.  I can't name any artists or songs from that period since I only listen to songs on the radio lol.

yeah that's definitely true. they thought of honky tonk as dirty young people dancing music lol

alright for you FOLKS hating on 00s ...you got another thing coming.

GREEN MILK FROM THE PLANET ORANGE: a japanese psychedelic punk rock, either their songs are crazy loud psychedelic freak outs or really calm quiet songs that LURK around your speakers. 3 really talented musicians playing together always insync. I can't tell if it is free form or actually written songs(really outdated method, but if it is written songs it is great.)

Weird War: another psychedelic band, wow good!! funk bass girl,  guitarist is from an African band so he knows all these cool mystic guitar things and Cool Singer Ian Svenonius preforms in a talk-sing voice that HARKENS back to the beatniks and hippies, but avoiding the redundant counterculture topics (DRUGS and SEX)
lil quote from Cool Singer Ian Svenonius about Weird War:
"We were on tour and we went to a hotel one night. In that hotel we had a dream. It was a collective dream. In that dream we knew how to read. We started to read a book which featured the artist Salvador Dali. In the book, he theorized that Adolf Hitler, the famous dictator, was just acting a Wagnerian obsession. Dali thought Hitler loved opera so much, that he wanted to die heroically, in a German way. And when we awoke we were filled with hope. Because we realized that if we could construct a narrative. If we rock and roll people could make a narrative that was similarly made, we could drive our own president to kill himself in his own bunker. He could take a little cyanide pill sewn into his suit jacket. That is what our music is all about."
THIS is what they are like, goofy sarcastic but not completely meaningless indie GARBAGE. if that makes sense.

Another cool Ian Svenonius Band: Chain and the Gang. Think like the punk equivalent of Satanic/Socialist stones. Is It Satire? Delivery on vocals with a more stripped down sound. 'lofi'? (not like wavves though, sounds like a 60s record but not a Tribute to the 60s.)

If it isn't Obvious by now, I am a slave to psychedelic warlords. The Brian Jonestown Massacre. AINT Shit needed to be said. if you don't listen to this band already, Shame.  Wait for his new record, it will be the greatest music peice our generation will know. just listen to this Demo JusTS LISTEN. I will cry if you don't ;_; or kick your ass if you are one of those assholes who likes making kids cry.

Mulatu Astatke and the Heliocentrics: a Good collaboration of a british jazz band and Ethiopian jazz Guru. The Meters-like R'NB with cool african jazz melodies. have yet to meet a person who hasn't liked this song.

Valley of the Giants: Cool band that plays Western-movie Influenced post rock. Normally I can just barely stand post rock, but this stuff is great. It has some members from godspeed or something, I don't really care they are great regardless of their credentials.
