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

it's still not as bad/horrifying as "jive"/"jibe"
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:20 (eleven years ago) link
where be thy jives now?
― C:\GAMES\KEEN\KEEN4E.EXE (clouds), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:21 (eleven years ago) link
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
― idiot man-child (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:23 (eleven years ago) link
and there was experimentation going on in there

to be fair discharge would have been too funky for my dad
― idiot man-child (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:25 (eleven years ago) link
funky discharge is unfair to everybody.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:25 (eleven years ago) link
my parents didn't do enough experimentation to listen to funky jazz

when i first started listening to jazz my mom just called me maynard g. krebs a lot

when i was little, my dad sung me a blood, sweat & tears song every night before i went to sleep.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:29 (eleven years ago) link
my dad played a lot of Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, James Brown, Steely Dan, The Beatles, Average White Band, Stevie Wonder and Vanilla Fudge

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.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:32 (eleven years ago) link
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.

the Vanilla Fudge version of "You Keep Me Hanging On", which my dad played to death
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 21:37 (eleven years ago) link
There should be something called downright bass.

i'm gonna see my dad in a week or two cuz he's coming down from upstate new york to see the louis hayes trio in brattleboro. he bought tickets online. 2+ hour drive does not keep his 75 year old self from the jazz.

you know it kinda freaks me out that djp's dad and my dad would have a common point of connection at all and that it would be vanilla fudge

yeah that Vanilla Fudge video is like a master class in psychedellic stage hamming

you know, after watching that video I kind of have to say I'm regressing back to childhood and deciding that Vanilla Fudge pwns

There's a hilarious line in Townshend's autobio about Vanilla Fudge: "Yes, they were louder than us. But they were still Vanilla Fudge."

I'm going to replace the "laser on" sign that lights up outside of our lab with "At one point, Head Hunters was the best selling jazz album of all time. Be warned though, there is experimentation happening here."
