This is a thread were you can post any kind of music news/topic/question or anything.

Sort of like the whole ILM forum but in one thread.

It sounds weird but I just thought about it.

I think Echo and the Bunnymen were better than the Beatles!

I feel dumb but I still don't know what "rockist" means. I can only assume it has something to do with rock.

― owen moorhead (i heart daniel miller), Monday, 26 September 2005 03:17 (twenty years ago)

I think it has something to do with people who hate Rock & Roll, but I feel the same way you do. I Don't Know.

It can't be good.

― Voodoo Child, Monday, 26 September 2005 03:21 (twenty years ago)

As this is turning into another rockism thread, I though I might mention early on that I thought the term referred to people that hated most everything *but* Rock & Roll :(

OK, I'll change the subject.

I think Glenn Branca and John Cooper Clarke are the most underrated geniueses of all time.

― Voodoo Child, Monday, 26 September 2005 03:30 (twenty years ago)

Yeah! I think that's about right too (and I was half-joking with regards to the Echo and the Bunnymen comment). I think Glen Johnson belongs on that list too, but that's just my opinion. Is it true that Martin Hannett did production work for Cooper-Clarke? Also, is that John at the beginning of the "Shadowplay" video, reading the poem about bloody things?

― owen moorhead (i heart daniel miller), Monday, 26 September 2005 03:43 (twenty years ago)

Martin Hannett produced JCC's albums, and he played Bass on the first 2.

― Voodoo Child, Monday, 26 September 2005 03:47 (twenty years ago)

Jimi Hendrix would have fully embraced disco music.

― doogey, Monday, 26 September 2005 09:38 (twenty years ago)

Owen - It is indeed Mr Cooper-Clarke on the Shadowplay video. Its actually from a Granada reports programme in the late 70's rather than a promotional video.

I think the freely available version is lifted from a Granada compilation from the late 80's early 90's (memory could be wrong) called Punk.

― Guilty Boksen (Bro_Danielson), Monday, 26 September 2005 11:15 (twenty years ago)

I think the new Kate Bush album is going to be bad, but I'm pretty sure I'll be wronged when it comes out.

Also: Someone should bring back Ronnie Spector. Someone should give her a record contract and some band should back her up on an album

Why were the vocals so muddy on some of George Harrison's later Beatles songs? ("Old Brown Shoe," "Savoy Truffle") Was this Harrison's idea or George Martin's?

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Monday, 26 September 2005 15:47 (twenty years ago)

I expect Jimi Hendrix would've been more into funk than disco, had he lived.

― Some Guy, Monday, 26 September 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

I just got taken to an alternate reality by El Gran Combo's "Don Goyo."

Have you heard that Timothy Leary track where Hendrix plays bass?

Haven't heard it, Rock Hardy. Funky, I assume?

― Some Guy, Tuesday, 27 September 2005 00:43 (twenty years ago)

TS: The Jackson Five - "I Want You Back" vs The House of Love - "I Want You Back"

― Sundar (sundar), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 00:46 (twenty years ago)

It's a 14-minute funky-ish jam with some Leary pro-drug rap overlaid here and there. The band was Hendrix, Stephen Stills (lead guitar), John Sebastian (rhythm guitar), and Buddy Miles. As funk workouts go, it's okay — not universe-splitting or anything. Listening to it again right now, it seems like Hendrix and Miles jamming on some ideas and letting Stills hang around and try to keep up. (Sebastian must have paid somebody to put his name on the credits.) (xpost)

So, Lawrence and Morrissey: who would win in a fight to the death?

You could advertise it as the Clash of the Mononymous Miserablist Music-Makers.

― owen moorhead (i heart daniel miller), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 03:34 (twenty years ago)

"Rapper's Delight" is very overrated.

Kurtis Blow's cover of "Taking Care of Business" is very underrated.

― Voodoo Child, Tuesday, 27 September 2005 05:05 (twenty years ago)

No Electronica artists never get Iggy Pop to do vocals.

― Voodoo Child, Tuesday, 27 September 2005 21:19 (twenty years ago)

Why does no one else realize that Ricky Nelson's "Never Be Anyone Else But You" is the origin of the reggae guitar skank?

― k/l (Ken L), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 21:26 (twenty years ago)

Because it isn't, perhaps? (Not that I've heard it.) His version of "Milk Cow Blues" is the origin of the Kinks' version of "Milk Cow Blues," however.

― Frank Kogan (Frank Kogan), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 21:55 (twenty years ago)

That is, James Burton's guitar riff on Ricky Nelson's "Milk Cow Blues" is the origin of Dave Davies' guitar riff on the Kinks' version of "Milk Cow Blues." And a whole bunch of Yardbirds rave-ups were the origin of the Kinks' rave-up at the end of "Milk Cow Blues."

― Frank Kogan (Frank Kogan), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

If anyone else had challenged me, Frank, I would have stood my ground, but since it's you I am forced to realize my bold assertion was just a castle built on sand.

― k/l (Ken L), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:03 (twenty years ago)

what's the best song about fast food?

I bet a lot of people will say "White Castle Fries Only Come in One Size"

― Voodoo Child, Tuesday, 27 September 2005 23:55 (twenty years ago)

the gilmore girls dissed chris martin.

― keith m (keithmcl), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 02:06 (twenty years ago)

i just saw on another thread someone say interest in music was an 'intellectual pursuit' that indeed women could partake in. just throwing that out there as an ILMism and sadly also now a music-related topic.
