sorry, right, rick beato. he's annoying! not as annoying as the fantano guy but he's annoying for sure.

scott seward, Monday, 25 March 2024 22:08 (two months ago) link

I’ve been enjoying his recent interview series tbh. Nowhere near as annoying as his other material

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Monday, 25 March 2024 22:08 (two months ago) link

even his classic rock breakdowns aren't all that interesting though. he has a great ear and an obviously deep well of musical knowledge but he rarely has anything to actually *say* about songwriting, which seems to be his greatest passion.

it's cool to hear the stems and individual parts on all those songs, and his breakdowns of the chord progressions are enlightening, if not insightful. he never engages with the substance of the song, that's true

this man came of age in the "yummy yummy yummy i got love in my tummy" era, idk if lyrics today are much worse than that

I bet you he hates "Yummy Yummy Yummy' though.

Tom D (the first British Asian ILXor) (Tom D.), Monday, 25 March 2024 22:13 (two months ago) link

His dissections of contemporary music can be annoying, but not nearly as annoying as the video thumbnails for his dissections of contemporary music.

MarkoP, Monday, 25 March 2024 22:14 (two months ago) link

Like I feel like his videos are at least a little more nuanced and insightful than the titles and thumbnails have you lead to believe.

MarkoP, Monday, 25 March 2024 22:15 (two months ago) link

a lot of the titles of his videos are clickbait, though sometimes he does make interesting points. like there was one about how all 90s rock sounds alike, yeah okay sure it does blah blah blah but if you watch it it breaks down the various producers who were involved and the samples that wind up in a bunch of different recordings, which of course was not how things were done beforehand. it's kind of interesting. i'm lukewarm on him overall, but he's a pretty decent interviewer, one of the few who actually knows the subjects' records well

frogbs, Monday, 25 March 2024 22:16 (two months ago) link

another goofy looking guy makin faces for those youtube videos looking straight into my eyes, this is so up my alley

brimstead, Monday, 25 March 2024 23:57 (two months ago) link

I kind of thought his resume would be much more impressive based on his YT clout but nope, his discogs looks like any other mid-90s indie obscurity... his band that had the most exposure has never been mentioned on this board that claims to LOVE music.

This sounds like a demo that our station would have received and get quickly tossed in the pile without making it to the airwaves:

He's rockist in predictable and boring ways, but I like his enthusiasm for stuff he likes. I've found some of his videos interesting, made me more aware of the architecture of a song. Also I thought his tribute to Mimi Parker was totally unexpected and really nice.

He surprises me sometimes. He once listed Curve as one of the best bass sounds of all time or something.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 26 March 2024 01:13 (two months ago) link

Yeah those are the times you remember he was in a '90s band.

He also reminds me of the Italian guys I grew up around in the Rochester suburbs (where he's from too). In good ways, mostly, the gregariousness and excitability.

this man came of age in the "yummy yummy yummy i got love in my tummy" era, idk if lyrics today are much worse than that

dave barry declared it to be the second worst song ever... i do think of dave barry as sort of the canonical white male boomer in terms of musical taste

i looked up the song to see if anybody has confirmed or denied the allegations that it's about swallowing cum. wikipedia was silent on the fact but provides an all-time disambiguation page:

For the Julie London album, see Yummy, Yummy, Yummy (album). For the national anthem of Vanuatu, see Yumi, Yumi, Yumi.

anyway, what i did find is that "yummy yummy yummy" is a kasenetz-katz joint (unsurprisingly), written by artie resnick and joey levine. i don't know what exactly resnick's contributions as a songwriter are, since all of his songs are co-writes. joey levine i can get a better bead on, since he went on to be a jingle guy. i mean kind of a natural career path once you've done "yummy yummy yummy", the song's basically a jingle. i mean look at this guy's career, absolute fuckin' legend:

Starting in the early 1970s, Levine began working on jingles for television commercials, as well as singing on them, with one of his most well-remembered jingles being "Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut" for Mounds and Almond Joy chocolate bars.[4]

just for that alone levine's in my good book. one of my go-to orchiectomy jokes is based on that jingle.

Popular campaigns from the past include: “Pepsi – The Joy of Cola", "Gentlemen Prefer Hanes", "Just For the Taste of It – Diet Coke", "Orange you smart, (for drinking Orange Juice)", "Come See the Softer Side of Sears", "Heartbeat of America – Chevrolet", "Dr Pepper – You Make the World Taste Better", "You Asked For It, You Got It, Toyota," "Who's that Kid With the Oreo Cookie," and "This Bud's For You" for Anheuser-Busch, and also the infamous "Proud as a Peacock" image campaign for NBC used from May 1979 to Summer 1981

just wall to wall bangers here. (if anyone here hasn't seen the "WE'RE LOUD!" parody, please do - peak "dunking on fred silverman" shit. i'll always love fred silverman for orchestrating the rural purge, but his nbc was fuckin' _dire_.) i'm sure dave barry would make fun of someone who made his career writing ad jingles, except, well. if you look at the career of jake holmes, the folkie who wrote the original "dazed and confused", then he went on to write the "be all that you can be" jingle for the us army. to me, hating on someone who can write jingles like that, one's just showing one's ignorance. i didn't hear the "valumarket" jingle for 30 years, and the second somebody brought it up again, bam! right back in my head. i don't know who wrote that one, that one's a classic tho.

the point is even if the song's _not_ actually about fellatio, it can reasonably be interpreted to be about fellatio, and that makes it an all-timer in my book. even if the residents' version is probably technically better.

oh, also, i was once again reminded that the ohio express and the ohio players were two different bands.

Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 26 March 2024 01:20 (two months ago) link

basically what i'm saying is that rick beato, if you do a video talking about the genius of joey levine's jingle writing, all will be forgiven

Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 26 March 2024 01:21 (two months ago) link

There were also (at least) three versions of Ohio Express: the original band which recorded their first single, the band hired to promote the single after the original band fell out with their record company and all their subsequent releases, the studio band who actually recorded all of their material (with Joey Levine on vocals). Oh and 10cc were Ohio Express for one single. I don't know who Dave Barry is but he's completely wrong about 'Yummy Yummy Yummy".

Tom D (the first British Asian ILXor) (Tom D.), Tuesday, 26 March 2024 01:54 (two months ago) link

Oh no, Kate, you can't defend the Rural Purge!

"Yummy Yummy Yummy" is definitely about swallowing cum. I think it is firmly in the tradition of Serge Gainsbourg's "Les Sucettes" and Annie's "Chewing Gum."

dave barry is some american guy

named "dave"

i thought he was really funny when i was 12. he had a syndicated newspaper column. i remember his headshot in the newspaper column looking sort of like one of the wilson brothers, somewhere between brian and carl.

he had a sitcom too. like one that was supposedly "about" him. it ran for like three or four seasons. he was played by harry anderson from "night court". i don't think it had very much to do with dave barry's actual life.

Oh no, Kate, you can't defend the Rural Purge!

well, maybe i won't, critique it and i'll listen :)

Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 26 March 2024 02:09 (two months ago) link

btw while we're talking kasenetz-katz joints, i fucking love "1, 2, 3, red light" by the 1910 fruitgum company... talking heads' cover of that one is sooooo good

idk how i feel about how many of those bubblegum pop songs were kind of gainsbourgian. gainsbourg was a creep, and i don't like the idea of pressuring young women to put out that way. it's a good song, though.

Green Acres was still a viable show when cancelled - its reruns ran for YEARS - as was Hee Haw, as proven by its long afterlife in syndication. We did need more urban shows, but not at the expense of the classic rural shows.

Josefa, Tuesday, 26 March 2024 02:15 (two months ago) link

Dave Barry played in a rock group with Stephen King and Amy Tan. I think he said "MacArthur Park" was the worst song ever, which is extremely wrong.

One of his videos was about why quantization makes modern music suck, contrasting Nickelback and Zep.

I really don’t think some natural swing was the missing piece to Nickelback.

He dislikes a lot of the same music I do, and for more or less the same reasons, but at least I try not to be a scold about it.

"Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut" for Mounds and Almond Joy chocolate bars."

i STILL sing this to this day. like, i was singing it two days ago. that's how genius it is. that's seriously like 50 years of me singing that jingle. peterpaulsalmondjoysgotnuts...mounds don't.

scott seward, Tuesday, 26 March 2024 02:24 (two months ago) link

xps I used to find great joy in Dave Barry's columns in the Miami Herald back in the day, and he seems like a good guy, but he's the kind of Boomer who thinks the lyrics of "Hang On, Sloopy" are superior to the lyrics of "MacArthur Park."

Josefa, Tuesday, 26 March 2024 02:25 (two months ago) link

Calvin K. Kazanjian was the founder and president of Peter Paul Inc., the maker of the Mounds and Almond Joy candy bars, located in Naugatuck, Connecticut. For 30 years, he met and solved the problems of an ever-growing business.

― Josefa

mmmm i just don't know that commercial viability... i don't think of it as the be-all and end-all

like, for me, there's cultural impact to both the westerns and the rural sitcoms that followed them. bonanza? yes, great, classic all-time show, cancelling it for "being a western", that would be silly. the andy griffith show? same, fucking all-time. if the rural purge had cancelled the andy griffith show instead of, like, "mayberry rfd", i might have a problem with that.

i guess what i'd say is that i'd frame it more in terms of... like, the doctor shows. like, to me the problem with "the other martin loring" wasn't just that it was broadcast, it was that THIS FUCKING DR. KILDARE-ASS SHOW WAS STILL ON THE AIR IN 1973. Like WHAT THE FUCK. CBS had Mannix. NBC had the NBC Mystery Movie. ABC is showing fucking MARCUS WELBY, M.D.? That's pathetic. Completely pathetic. I'd rather watch "The Girl With Something Extra", even after learning that the "something extra" was ESP and not, like, a penis.

xp i raced my bike in naugatuck once it was kinda terrifying. the town seemed kinda post-industrial-washout consistent tho

yeah, that's a hell of a jingle. "you asked for it-- YOU GOT IT, TOYOTA!" was WAY more immense. it owned all media. everywhere. all the time. it owns me. now.

i think i also have a bias against someone like rick beato because of my occupation. 9 out of 10 times people similar to him (dude dad musos) will come in and grill me about my receiver and my speakers - things i have no interest in other than i know what sounds good to me - and then they will leave. without ever buying anything.

scott seward, Tuesday, 26 March 2024 16:35 (two months ago) link

I think I'm right in saying that for a lot of music tuition youtubers - and especially in the guitar world - the real money they're making is not from adverts or patreon or sponsored videos or paid promo or whatever but from selling courses off the back of their channel. Rick's approach to this has long been something called the Beato Book which he sells at fifty bucks a pop, and if you've ever wondered whats actually in it, here's a review:

Bernard Quidbins (NickB), Tuesday, 26 March 2024 17:22 (two months ago) link

in his defence, he always has nice things to say about swervedriver, who he often cites in random videos as one of the greatest ever rock bands. that fanboy side of him is quite endearing

Yes he likes Swervedriver but he only likes Mezcal Head on, which is analogue to only liking Nirvana Unplugged or something, at least in my house.

People complaining about dembow, it's like complaining about how 99 percent of rock and pop songs are 4/4 with a backbeat on the 2 and 4. Just dumb.

there are better music theory for the masses guys out there, Kirk Hamilton, for example

you know i do blame youtube. i've seen it with other people. you put something "controversial" in your title and thumbnail to get clicks, and then you say some reasonable, thoughtful, respectful, and nuanced stuff, which is how you get fans. i mean half of the youtube people i subscribe to do the same thing.

which, you know what, i feel like we're doing the same kind of thing here, so it all works out imo

honestly, on reflection, i don't even blame youtube, that's like... i'm not going to watch a three hour video about something i already know i agree with. i can tell you this for a fact because mia mulder made a three hour video about the ways capitalism is bad and i didn't watch it because i already know capitalism is bad.

so yes, welcome to the "let's make fun of rick beato" thread, wherein we collectively conclude, you know what? rick beato is kind of ok, actually.

Ha, that youtube-ecosystem thing pulls me the other direction -- the fact that Beato has all these obvious it's-my-job incentives to trot out periodic pandering pop-is-bad-now bait makes it feel sadder and more craven (to me) than if he actually really wanted to spend his time on that. (But I also have zero idea if the content inside has gotten all nuanced; I think I saw part of one and was like yeah, this is not the kind of video I ever need to watch from him)

Also very good at showing why arrangements are effective and not just on the theory level, but because of feel/texture/timbre. His take on The Good, Bad and the Ugly is a good example.

Ugh I know. I want the ragebait titles and fake indignation reactions trend to fucking die already but it seems they send in the views and it’s going to stay for a long time.

I don’t mind Beato. It’s been more than a year since I see anything by him… Spent several pandemic days watching him out of boredom and he seems chill and knowledgeable… at least when it comes to talking about music he likes which is mostly rock and jazz. His opinions on “most listened tracks on Spotify” were very bland and uninteresting… at least those I watched.

I can't remember honestly. The only one I remember is him complaining that things are a little too quantized, and there is no subtle tempo variation, which our (old) ears can detect. I guess I understand that. I don't care too much about lack of key changes or things like that, though I suppose I can see someone who is into that stuff being annoyed with their absence.

Me, I do know that my appreciation of what's on the charts ebbs and flows over the years, based on trends, some of which I jibe with, some of which I don't. Sometimes the radio seems pretty copycat and conservative, sometimes it's pretty wild.

jaymc, Beato was first brought to my attention when I was learning about theory behind the modes of Steely Dan guitar solos, I wanna say Larry Carlton's KidC...?

I'm obviously incredibly sorry I ever clicked that because now I have to look at a thumbnail of his every other time I glance at the YT recommends sidebar.
