Narrow minded music "fans"

[Metaphor]

Its fucked up, i bet that chick never even listened to jazz or the blues. I can also assure you she never heard anything like Boards of Canada or Shpongle (and everything inbetween), yet she can put down all forms of electronic music. But whatever, shes just being the dumb one and limiting herself to one genre, its a shame she wont ever hear something worthwhile

It's funny you mention Boards of Canada. Whenever I come here, I always call it Boards of Cannabis in my head, after them.

Dont mess with a chick whos that stupid number one. Even music you hate 90 percent of the time has some sort of talent. You have to be able to respect other music too. Like I dislike rap but as someone who plays an instrument I can say that a good number of those rappers have put alot of work into their music.

I let it get me down too much. By the way reb, I feel the need to clarify that your Paris Hilton quote is definitely not a supportive tribute.

[action.420]

lol me neither. im not calling it talentless, im just saying i hate it.

and that bartender is highly ignorant. jazz consists of more than just 'random' notes. it requires odd note patterns and scales, and modes, and shit she couldnt even begin to comprehend.

i typically dont like heavy metal. like i do like metallica, and some bands will have a few songs i like, but overall i dont like the genre. the guitar players are sick and highly technical, but what they play i just typically dont like the sound of.

I'm sure someone has already told you or you have already heard but give a listen to tool. Alt. Metal / Progessive Metal that reminds me of a modern age floyd, and if you already have than hats off to YA! :rastasmoke:

Onto the subject of dibwitted, un-knowledgeable people who know nothing of music...

Of course every music takes talent except modern country! EH, ok maybe a little, but it still BLOWS.

If the musician plays their own instruments they have obvious talent.

I must admit though, it's not hard to make a beat on a computer and stick words in with it.

[LIP]

That's true...

However, some fucking awesome music has been made with them... look at Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, etc...

Hell, Thom Yorke's solo album's pretty good.

You are indeed right.

I think when we're talking about talantlessness, it has to be on a band by band basis - i mean, no one can say a whole genre is talantless because that's just not true.

[LIP]

Yeah, definately.

What annoys me more than people insulting entire genres of music, is people that listen only to one or two bands, or from a very select bunch of artists. I dunno why, it just irritates me when there's so much good stuff out there.

Although, I think we can safely agree that My Chemical Romance suck. My younger brother has recently got into them, and the Kaiser Chiefs.

Oh my god i agree 100%. I was having a conversation about them with my old bass tech [from the days i was in a band]

Supposidly they're meant to be headlining download this year - well, that's one festival i'm definatly not going to.

[B.Basher]

Gonna agree with My Chemical Romance and Kaiser. Perfect example of style over substance. The worst part is these bands are hyped as prodigys, wrapped in a glossy bow and people suck it all in. The next Hendrix will never be found because the industry wants flavours of the month, not talent.

"I must admit though, it's not hard to make a beat on a computer and stick words in with it."

It's like drawing dude. Easy to do, but hard to do well.

Music goes with the mood of the moment for me. There is certain types I like to toke to, make love, drink, other things that can't be mentioned here.

I see alot of slamming on country music but I'll tell ya, you get into a little bar pounding down some brews and there is no better music. The people seem to come alive and strangers act like best friends. Don't know why, just an observation.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
