@MilkmanDan
@ChaosEngine

thanks for the love gentlemen.
these guys really brought me back to a time where we would drag our milk crates of our favorite albums to a friends house just to introduce them to new music.

music that we loved.

and these guys react in such a genuine and honest way that i found endearing.

(and yeah chaos,i wasted waaaay too much time on their channel,so i hear ya,the check is in the mail.)

fuck..is it really 4AM?

*promote because @lurgee and being introduced to new music ROCKS!!!

No, it's just a very poorly implemented idea in today's culture. Cultural appropriation is real, but it's not just a question of copying someone else's style. There's obviously a problem when, for example, enormously talented black musicians develop new music styles and cultural expressions which are dismissed and marginalized until a white person takes after their styles and makes it acceptable to like them. If white people are given all the credit for jazz or soul or rock or blues or rap, it diminishes the rightful cultural accomplishments of some amazing musical pioneers. That's cultural appropriation because the powerful are unfairly appropriating all the benefits of the less powerful, original creators. If some 15-year old white girl wants to call herself a ratched ho and wear dreads, on the other hand, that's not appropriation, it's admiration. The problem arises when well-intentioned people forget to consider the power dynamic, and instead just translate 'cultural appropriation' into a series of racially permitted dress codes. Which is what the bully in the video was doing.

New Music by Biba Singh

They do a heck of a lot of good covers and original music that isn't just yelling. Well, some anyway. ; )

And yeah, the original is still the best, but covers are a great way to not only interpret the original piece, but also a way to introduce it to new generations, although I do hate young douchebags raving about this "great new music" which is a cover from a 30 year old track.

Oh yeah man, radio hasn't been any kind of positive force for music for decades.

When I first came to NZ, I was really excited to discover they had rock radio stations here! In Ireland, anything not pop was all but extinct. And then I realised they played same songs all the damn time.

For me, I discover almost all my new music through word of mouth, or via Spotify discovery, and occasionally the Sift.

That is the great advance with smartphones/mobile data for me. I can drive around and hear new music or a tailored playlist.

Most pop music completely passes me by. I don't listen to music on the radio or tv, so the only way I hear about new music is word of mouth or things like itunes genius and spotify discover.

So I'd never heard this song (I thought Taylor Swift was a country artist or something?).

The song itself is admittedly catchy, but I think I prefer the piano version.

Real reason? Reality shows are cheap to make, music videos are expensive to show. But before MTV stopped playing music, they went thru phases where each iteration did bring us only the top 10 or record label promotion paid them to play their new artists, then that was mixed with reality and finally they stopped pretending and just switched on full reality tv that they can sell. MTV could see it like this parody video on their end "people are watching less and less music" but it was exactly the cancellation of Headbangers Ball, Yo Raps, Alternative Nation etc. that lead to declining numbers.. I stopped watching wh en headbangers and Alt nation stopped as it was only top hits from that point on. Everything even remotely alternative or indie was gone, there were no one selecting new music as there were no more people to host the shows, VJs were gone, it was just automated playlist that plaid literally the same songs over and over. It was an attempt to get more profit from casual music listeners but even they turned it down: it seems like you need and want to hear music you don't like every now and then to make your favorites a lot more important.. Even i wouldn't watch a music station that plays only the things i like, i need to hear one or two really awful crap every now and then just to remind me that music can be truly awful and soulless product and not everyone is Radiohead.

And mind you, those alternative shows only aired at odd hours, headbangers ball was around midnight and really hard stuff like Into the Pit was aired around 2am, it still was top 20 during the day. But it did mix it up a little, one alternative or indie video per hour. You take that one exception away and it is boring no matter what your music taste is.

TBF, I've never been a fan of mainstream music.

I do still discover new music, but almost never from any kind of conventional channel.

I still want them damn kids off my lawn though

I remember watching this when I was 19 and thinking how sad that was. Why would you end up like that? I mean, I listened to new music all the time, but I could also appreciate the classics frommy parents music. They just needed to be more open minded and progress with the music.

Now I'm 36 and this is practically my motto. Most music these days is vapid nonsense. Admittedly, most music in my day was also vapid nonsense, but at least there was a decent alternative. I dunno, kids these days, with their iDroids and their facetweets....

Ok-If you look closely, there's a black unit sticking-out from the right side of the back of the unconnected mixer-Looks like he's got that un-plugged mixer blocking the one he's using. I think yer right.
Why would anyone fake being a party DJ atta Mexican fiesta??

Oh and, DJ's react to the music while they tweak it....it's part of their cult-of-personality thingy tied into the whole performance aspect of making 'new' music. Dubstep DJ's for example, consider themselves artists and performers. They usually have egos large enough so that they don't have to wait for fans or critiques to suggest or ascertain this either....lotta douchebag in the DJ industry.

You didn't disappoint me!!! I'm only on for a moment, but came by just to see if you had posted something new. Another wonderful choice! You are so good at this.

I agree that you can't really compare Daft Punk to Pink Floyd or Jimi Hendrix, but there's only so much classic rock (I guess it would fit into that category) I can take before I start to become bored. I like new, I crave new music - something I've never heard before.

Gotta run...will be back later.
