shoegraving! floaty goth drone: needs to exist.

― cis (cis), Tuesday, 30 September 2003 05:39 (twenty years ago) link

you've not heard of Projekt Records then?

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 30 September 2003 05:43 (twenty years ago) link

There are no words to describe the depth of my ignorance.

...but do they *call* it shoegrave?

― cis (cis), Tuesday, 30 September 2003 05:50 (twenty years ago) link

And, more importantly, is it any cop?

― cis (cis), Tuesday, 30 September 2003 05:51 (twenty years ago) link

i dunno what they call it actually. to me it's just floaty goth

hip-hopera

Don't you remember that awful project group Rapsody? They released a whole album of rap versions of opera songs, featuring LL Cool J, Warren G. etc.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 30 September 2003 05:54 (twenty years ago) link

Come to think of it, maybe they weren't that awful after all. I remember actually liking the LL Cool J version of "Dear Mallika"...

12 Step

― j. random person (svizz), Tuesday, 30 September 2003 12:49 (twenty years ago) link

12 step could arguably be some of the Big Brovaz triplet-rythm stuff. I'd like to see 7 Step. Dance to that one, ya fukkas.

de la soul?

― robin (robin), Tuesday, 30 September 2003 18:31 (twenty years ago) link

Where are the sitars, nursery-rhyme-like choruses, weird lyrics about marshmallow pigs flying through tangerine skies, guitars recorded backwards and mellotrons in the music of De La Soul?

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 30 September 2003 18:37 (twenty years ago) link

surely shoegraving = Lycia

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Tuesday, 30 September 2003 19:38 (twenty years ago) link

(especially their more ambient stuff like "The Morning Breaks So Cold And Gray")

unsuspecting exponents: all artists who've ever covered tchaikovsky's 'nutcracker', plus einstürzende neubauten)

tram & bus

I'm waiting for some hardcore queer gangsta rap. Who's got the balls?

Years ago in DC I saw a flyer from someone who was trying to put together an act like that. I don't think it ever made it to the playing out stage.

In the meantime:

math funk
symphonic nu metal
smooth free jazz

Afro-slavic. It's been done, actually, a project of the producer Thierry Van Roy (whose work with Abdelli is pretty good).

― Al Andalous, Wednesday, 1 October 2003 01:57 (twenty years ago) link

Front Porch Maximalism
Eno-Core
Krush-Groove

Cow Goth: Fields of the Nephilim. Well, spaghetti western goth anyways.

Garage Strings: Apocalyptica, a cello quartet that only covers Metallica songs. I couldn't listen to that one-trick pony for more than a minute, but a half a star to them for actually doing it I guess.

Biker Synth: Suicide had audience riots- they were retro-futuristic robot elvis music- I think elvis, I think 50's rockers and Marlon Brando in the Wild One- so they might be kind of near the ballpark.

Queer rap exists, but does it have to be Gangsta?

More to find:

Fagtime
Symphonic Oi
Footfetish folk

Cow Goth = 16 Horsepower. Possibly Myssouri as well.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Wednesday, 1 October 2003 23:06 (twenty years ago) link

Someone else besides me here who knows about Myssouri! I'm astounded.

Psychedelic hip-hop.

A great deal of my solo material has been referred to multiple times as "psychedelic pop rap", that's not too far away from this.
