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

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.

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

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

where be thy jives now?

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

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 (eleven years ago) link
honestly I did not know it was "jibe" till just now.
― paula boradwell (crüt), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:22 (eleven years ago) link
I definitely did not know about any of these albums when I was 12.
my whole life has been cloaked in ignorance
The jibe/jive & raucous/rawkus posts make it sound like you're arguing about Cherry Poppin' Daddies lyrics.

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

and there was experimentation going on in there

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.

Before the first time I saw Charles Mingus, I thought bass could only be played flat on the ground. But then one day I drove my Hyundai Elantra over to my grandparents house. It was only a three minute ride, but when i pulled into the driveway, there was Charles Mingus, playing the bass upright. Some say he is the godfather of the upright bass. Including me!

taste in music and quality of writing don't necessarily correlate; my dad could write amazingly and convincingly about Vanilla Fudge and it would not change the fact that he was lionizing Vanilla Fudge
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:34 (eleven years ago) link
I dunno, the ability to lionize Vanilla Fudge is an achievement unto itself!
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:35 (eleven years ago) link
That would be my assignment if I were teaching music writing: in 800 words or less, convincingly praise Vanilla Fudge.
(although I'm listening to a remastered version of "You Keep Me Hanging On" on Spotify right now and I'm starting to get it)
also Hurting, you know that "upright bass" is actual terminology, right

I don't think I've ever heard Vanilla Fudge. They fell through the same crack that caught Uriah Heap.
