Nice to see Maneater has aged well - too many memories of bad student parties for me to vote for it, but it still sounds fresh and sexy.

sorry to still be talking about Rollin but as much as I love that song (it def would have been on my ballot if i voted) Wood Grain is to me the definitive Huntsville rap song of 05-09
― /\/K/\/\, Thursday, 1 July 2010 22:51 (fourteen years ago) link
if such a thing exists, that scene has been so good
Who comprises the Huntsville scene? I was born in and grew up there, but I've been gone for a decade and a half and the only thing I remember at that time are some jam bands nobody liked (before that, however, it was the home of Sex Clark Five and Skeletal Earth). In addition to the rap coming out of Huntsville, there's also Thomas Function and Pine Hill Haints on the indie rawrk side of things.

well since mentioned it i'll post the youtube to Wood Grain. the song is by PRGz, short for a paper route gangstaz, a group of rappers off the paper route records/z label. if you want to go further G-Side's Huntsville International mixtape is pretty incredible and the blog southern hospitality is always posting new stuff

this was really critically underrated, its a great album -- in my world of young ppl it was mostly really, really popular w/ girls (ero underrated by dudes for some reason -- not 'authentic' enough??) plus she kinda had style icon status going til she burned out ... basically

eh, although winehouse is r&b obv, there tends to be this phenomenon of otherwise r&b-ignorant outlets giving blanket coverage of (usually british, usually white) retro-soul types, which to their credit, I guess, p4k hasn't fallen into, but that doesn't mean that when something great comes from that scene, they shouldn't acknowledge it
― The Reverend, Friday, 2 July 2010 01:11 (fourteen years ago) link
the thing was, winehouse resonated for, like, personality reasons -- its a very 'authentically R&B' (kill me) way to hit people but like ... she seemed like a human being, not a joss stone generic "im really into the authentic stuff" boring derivative crap ... like, just the way she used modern slang & seemed like it was her singing instead of some channeling of the past was what made her worthwhile imo
i used to work w/ all these R&B fans & they were totally into her
― blap...tremendo (deej), Friday, 2 July 2010 01:31 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, otm. i always felt like the use of themes and language that seperated it from its influences did a great job of helping her avoid the trap of becoming a period piece or a stodgy authenticist. the record has personality in spades and it's all amy.
― The Reverend, Friday, 2 July 2010 01:36 (fourteen years ago) link
Agree that Winehouse suffers from ubiquity. For a few years she was everywhere - on the radio (how many singles were there off that album?), on the front of every gossip magazine at the supermarket, every Hallowe'en party had at least two Winehouses...so it's hard for me to listen to this fresh. I don't think I'll ever love it, but I'm sure I'll look back more appreciatively in the future.
― seandalai, Friday, 2 July 2010 01:41 (fourteen years ago) link
Actually after listening to "Rehab" again (and I managed not to hear it all that much), I am reminded why I was never interested in her. It doesn't strike much of a chord for me musically (I don't hate it, but I am not into it) and the lyrics and image don't interest me. I'm not very fascinated with the whole junkie mystique.

xp ehhh, that's a pretty limited read on winehouse. (which is fair! "rehab" only reflects a limited part of her persona.) imo she sings about the ups and downs of romance better than she does about substance problems. i mean, the sheer number of twists she manages to imbue "you know i'm no good" with is impressive.

Two tracks received first-place votes and no others, meaning they scored 40 points each. The lowest scoring track to receive a first-place vote and one additional vote scored 45 points and is ranked 446th. < / nerdery >
