OK, is this the worst piece of music writing ever?

godfather of the upright cello

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 20:59 (thirteen years ago)

i don't have a car or else i'd go out and sit in it and listen to a whole album right now. maybe the well-tuned piano.

idiot man-child (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 20:59 (thirteen years ago)

xp or maybe it an AC/DC song playing in the police car that took me away from the house whose driveway I sat in for 30 minutes blaring music -- lol, my grandparents are dead, totally forgot

Wow, thank you for the great introduction to this music called "Jazz." Miles Davis, huh, I will have to check that guy out. Glad the Voice is still around to shine a light on the hidden corners of the music world.

one time after i hooked up with a girl, i was driving in my car and 'you got lucky' by tom petty came on the radio. funny, that.

sug ones (omar little), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:00 (thirteen years ago)

my dad used to sit in the car with the radio on after pulling into the driveway, but he was an alcoholic

i was going to turn this whole thread

whitesnake - "here i go again"

into a voice pitch. maybe i can now.

I heard a Yo-Yo Ma cello performance that was so aching I accidentally drove off the road and crashed into my grandparents' house

i killed my grandfather while listening to albert ayler.

idiot man-child (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:02 (thirteen years ago)

now that's journalism.

paula boradwell (crüt), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:02 (thirteen years ago)

you weren't sure he was going to survive, so you put on Spiritual Unity

drunk 'n' white's elements of style (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:02 (thirteen years ago)

gave in and went to the first page, went "oh fuck no" and backed away

When I first put on Herbie Mann - Memphis Underground, I was PISSED. What is that shrill, experimental sound?

drunk 'n' white's elements of style (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:03 (thirteen years ago)

did people really fuck to take five

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:05 (thirteen years ago)

When I first put on Stravinsky's "Le Sacre du Printemps," I was pissed. Where was the melody? Then I threw a chair and booed.

So the Village Voice is paying their writers in Skittles now? Because that seems to be how they attracted the talents of this fine scribe.

5-Hour Enmity (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:06 (thirteen years ago)

i'm pretty sure i was conceived to chuck mangione's "feels so good"

idiot man-child (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:06 (thirteen years ago)

lol

paula boradwell (crüt), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:06 (thirteen years ago)

Skittles beat what some place pay.

idiot man-child (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:09 (thirteen years ago)

josh that is fucking creepy

idiot man-child (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:09 (thirteen years ago)

this bottomlessly horrid listicle is producing psychic mind-melds between ilxors now

"Be warned though, there is experimentation happening here."

I think I saw this written on one of those doorknob things at a hotel.

Evan, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:16 (thirteen years ago)

There's something happening but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Lapin

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:18 (thirteen years ago)

i heard amy goodman rambling on and on about bbc sex scandal in the car this morning and then i heard katy perry and then i yelled at my kids. it was raining.

scott seward, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:18 (thirteen years ago)

I like how he confuses "raucous" with "ruckus" in the Mingus bit. Well done.

5-Hour Enmity (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:19 (thirteen years ago)

it's still not as bad/horrifying as "jive"/"jibe"

I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:20 (thirteen years ago)

where be thy jives now?

C:\GAMES\KEEN\KEEN4E.EXE (clouds), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:21 (thirteen years ago)

Oh man, I fucking hate when people do that. But it's so common that "jive" is about to overtake "jibe."

5-Hour Enmity (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:21 (thirteen years ago)

he is apparently old enough to drive a car so i guess its safe to assume he isn't 12. which would be the only excuse for this thing i can come up with. though that might actually be offensive to actual 12 year old kids.

scott seward, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:21 (thirteen years ago)

honestly I did not know it was "jibe" till just now.

paula boradwell (crüt), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:22 (thirteen years ago)

I definitely did not know about any of these albums when I was 12.

paula boradwell (crüt), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:22 (thirteen years ago)

my whole life has been cloaked in ignorance

paula boradwell (crüt), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:22 (thirteen years ago)

The jibe/jive & raucous/rawkus posts make it sound like you're arguing about Cherry Poppin' Daddies lyrics.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:23 (thirteen years ago)

xp: at least you did not say your life was clucked in ignorance

I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:23 (thirteen years ago)

i think my dad might have owned "headhunters" but it also might have been too funky for him

idiot man-child (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:23 (thirteen years ago)

and there was experimentation going on in there

only Brod can judge me (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:24 (thirteen years ago)

to be fair discharge would have been too funky for my dad

idiot man-child (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:25 (thirteen years ago)

funky discharge is unfair to everybody.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:25 (thirteen years ago)

my parents didn't do enough experimentation to listen to funky jazz

paula boradwell (crüt), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:26 (thirteen years ago)

when i first started listening to jazz my mom just called me maynard g. krebs a lot

idiot man-child (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:28 (thirteen years ago)

when i was little, my dad sung me a blood, sweat & tears song every night before i went to sleep.

scott seward, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:29 (thirteen years ago)

my dad played a lot of Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, James Brown, Steely Dan, The Beatles, Average White Band, Stevie Wonder and Vanilla Fudge

I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:31 (thirteen years ago)

claire de lune is used in lullabies

drunk 'n' white's elements of style (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:31 (thirteen years ago)

my dad's favorite band was yes :'-(

idiot man-child (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:31 (thirteen years ago)

I have a friend who teaches a class in criticism and music writing, a post-grad class, and she says the quality of student and in particular their writing is overwhelmingly abysmal. I have a feeling their idea of funk - or jazz, for that matter - may be the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
