I once had to get a ride with a rather overbearing acquaintance. I had made up a tape of this for the journey. It was whipped it out of the machine and tossed within twenty seconds - "What is *this* boring shit?!" - and replaced with Strike's U Sure Do on a loop. Good times.

So my vote goes to Safe From Harm - sorry for not sticking up for you all those years ago.

Pete Tong granted restraining order against former Massive Attack singer

Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong has been granted a restraining order against former Massive Attack singer Shara Nelson.

The DJ told a West London magistrates court that the singer had harassed him with nuisance calls and told his colleagues that she was his manager, reports The Sun.

During the court proceedings, Nelson even gave her surname as Tong and claimed she had married the DJ and had his child. Tong confimed that neither of these statements are correct.

Nelson, who sang with Massive Attack on their 1991 hit single 'Unfinished Sympathy' and on a number of other tracks on their debut album 'Blue Lines', has been banned indefinitely from contacting Tong or his friends and family. She has also been issued with a 12-month community order and will have to complete 80 hours of community service.

A spokesman for Pete Tong declined to comment about the case.

why pine for your fucking youth unless you're dissatisfied with your life and your self as they are now?

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 09:12 (8 months ago) Permalink

why pine for your fucking youth unless you're dissatisfied with your life and your self as they are now?

Because people have kids and mortgages and stomach ulcers and bad knees and work stress, Lex, and without those things society would crumble and we'd all die and your magical zesty exciting life would go to shit, too. You can be entirely recobnciled to (and, indeed, happy, and actually heart-burstingly delirious) with all of those things, and still go a bit misty-eyed over dancing in the disco when you were 16.

Because nostalgia can be quite a pleasant thing in certain circumstances. Didactically dismissing it out of hand shows a lack of empathy for people who do engage in a bit of it. I doubt, in fact I know, that most people our age don't walk around in a permanent 90s fug, crying at the thought that no one will ever release a single as good as Unfinished Sympathy or Country House again. It's not the evil force that you seem to think it is. People's lives and tastes change, and every so often they want a reminder of how things were; and that's fine.

More specifically, I don't think many of the people who engage in discourse on ILM are the inveterate, helpless, perpetual nostalgia sufferers that you seem to be wanting to straw-man; that fact that we're here, talking about new music (and old music) says we're still hungry and engaged. My point is just that we're not engaging with the kinds of things that the actual bona fide youth are engaging with. Probbaly not even you.

some things become better, others are lost forever, it's the nature of life. nostalgia is hardly owned or dominated by the crappy reissue industry, lost youth or mortality is at the root of huge swathes of the greatest works of art ever made. it's a matter of debate which old things were better and which were worse.

ironically you're arguing that nostalgia today is worse than it was before...

― Know how Roo feel (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 09:30 (8 months ago) Permalink

there is a serious difference i think between nostalgia as a personal emotion/experience and nostalgia as a form of cultural expression/production. and i might concede that the former is an unchanging aspect of human nature (tho i don't believe it) but i'm certain that the latter changes thru time and social landscape

― syntax evasion (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 09:32 (8 months ago) Permalink

Lex is fronting on this a bit, I know full well that if he was at a house party and someone put on Relevee or In White Rooms he would lose his shit and maybe get a bit misty eyed about peak raving days. But that would be defended on the grounds that those records also sound great NOW and in the moment, and arguing about "nostalgia" seems to be denying Blue Lines that same privilege here.

Maybe there are 18 year olds listening to Blue Lines still, it's part of the core DNA of modern pop music, probably more so than the Beatles nowadays. Although if I had to guess which Massive Attack song is most popular among young people it would probably be Teardrop. But none of those kids will be buying the overpriced remastered reissue.

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 09:33 (8 months ago) Permalink

it makes sense to think of some places and eras as more culturally nostalgic than others, i think, even while we recognise that public culture is far from monolothic and human beings are not reducible to the product of a culture

― syntax evasion (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 09:34 (8 months ago) Permalink

In any case house music (and post-UKG British dance music) are constantly reappropriating and recontextualising the classics. Think how many times 'Show Me Love' has re-emerged over the years.

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 09:36 (8 months ago) Permalink

reissuing a record might just give it to people who hadn't heard it... it's hardly as if the only reissues that ever happen are massive canonical classics, but even so, not everyone has heard every massive canonical classic.

i think people do that kind of thing to prove something to the world, like they've "put their money where their mouth is" in terms of their interests. a bit like a football supporter buying all the merchandise.

This and Noodle Vague's points OTM, I think there's an element of wanting to have your Absolute All-time Favourite Classic Album(s) stand above and apart from the rest of your record collection, buying something like that Screamadelica boxed set in the massive tin is one step removed from literally putting the album on a pedestal. It doesn't really bother me, I can never afford these things anyway.

I've no idea what '90s music young people listen to or where Massive Attack might fit in but would be interested to know.

the weird thing to me is that you seem determined to align your "life and your self now" with cultural commodities that are, afaict, very consciously made for people much younger than yourself. it's like your pining for/identifying with other people's youths in an effort to maintain a perpetual state of youthiness.

personally I don't think things were "better" in the 80s or the 90s or any other decade in which I was more directly/heavily invested in youth culture, but it is interesting to remember and reflect on things. this is a basic human reaction to living in a world where time only flows in one direction.

― stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 15:26 (8 months ago) Permalink

also curious about when lex's cutoff point for listening to a particular album/song is. 6 months? a year? 5 years? at what point is it no longer acceptable to listen to something because it's "too old"?

rejecting nostalgism can also be a way to try to retain one's youth. "oh I'm not nostalgic, that's for OLD PEOPLE".

I'm not particularly concerned with the age of the people making music or when it came out, or even, really when I was first exposed to it. I do not, however, define "my life and my life now" (to use lex's terminology) by any age-related music criteria. I don't think listening to teen pop makes me younger or more closely identifies me with "WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW" or anything like that. similarly I don't think that listening to music that I first listened to when I was 15 is necessarily nostalgia - sometimes it's just interesting to revisit stuff.

it is true I don't like modern teen pop, primarily because it's working with a sonic palette that I find harsh and grating 9 times out of 10. That being the case, I don't feel compelled to listen to it just because it's made by young people/targeted at young people. I don't give a shit about that. My interest in top 40 pop stuff kind of depends on the era and some periods have been better than others - the current period just happens to largely be a wasteland imho.

what point do you think I'm missing?

― stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 16:11 (8 months ago) Permalink

You don't really have a handle on the critical foibles (partly because Lex isn't making himself particularly clear here) but also what we're talking about really is the commodification of nostalgia.

There's probably a side issue here that all-pervasive fetishisation of 'youth' throughout popular culture actually DOES lead to a lot of people feeling that they're past-it by the age of 30, which I suspect does the reissues industry no harm either, but that's another debate.

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 16:18 (8 months ago) Permalink

eh fair enough.

I agree with others here who have already pointed out that current nostalgia commodification efforts seem very much driven by the industry just following the money ("who still buys music = old people! what do old people like? old stuff!") and in that sense yeah I have no use for it either. the only reissues I buy are things I was not able to previously get my hands on for whatever reason. I don't need a Screamadelica or Blur or Massive Attack or Stone Roses box, I have the originals if I ever want to listen to them.

Wondering if remastering of acclaimed albums will dramatically drop off in a few more years as we get to 20th anniversary of 'over-compression'.

― nashwan, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 16:24 (8 months ago) Permalink

Maybe they'll remaster What's The Story (Morning Glory) so it's quieter and more spacious and you can actually hear Bonehead strumming a lute in the background.

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 16:27 (8 months ago) Permalink

I thin Shakey's hit something there though, in terms of why Lex hates nostalgia so much - it seems like a hatred beyond just the commodification of the concept. If Lex thinks its bad because its about pining for your youth to the point of recapturing it, or trying to, then isn't staying au fait (and deeply involved) with the pop cultural loves of people much younger than you a similar kind of way of trying to recapture / perpetuate youth?

Also, Lex might say "teen pop is for everyone" but I have a sneaking suspicion he'd be grossed out by, say, David Cameron dancing to Azaelia Banks. Which is not beyond the realms of possibility.

― comedy is unnatural and abhorrent (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 16:32 (8 months ago) Permalink

But yeah, I'd totally not be surprised by remasters in a couple of years trying to make things more nuanced and less squished.

AZB is not teenpop

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 16:41 (8 months ago) Permalink

I agree that teenpop is for everyone in the sense that all music is for everyone, sure. but old people engage with teenpop in a different way and for different reasons than teenagers do - an old person who acts/thinks/feels like a teenager is a distinctly creepy and sad thing, for ex.

― stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 16:45 (8 months ago) Permalink

the other irony is that people like lex who obsessively lionize/romanticize youth are precisely the kind of people that become excessively prone to nostalgia

I don't think Lex is consciously fetishizing 'youth' specifically, but rather a set of attributes which all signify 'youth' when you add them together.

Jesus Christ you guys if you can't be arsed to engage with swathes of modern music because you've mentally bundled it into a package labelled "Youth culture - past that now - don't understand" that's on you but at least recognise that not everyone wants to do that past the age of 30. And you're not actually in any position to draw any real conclusions on the people who don't do that because you're not actually engaging with any of the music they're listening to.
