you'll notice there is very little anxiety between trad / modern and pop / classical. i am increasingly convinced that is a unique part of western culture.

But this North Korean one is pretty great on first listen.
Some of this reminds me of the kitschiest Arabic pop things I've heard. It's like the same weird type of synthesizer sounds and other similarities too.
Also, at the moment I'm feeling more sympathetic to the whole idea of trying to maintain that sense of disorientation as a listener. It can't really be that impossible, can it? If one wanted to.

diving back into the catalog after a few years away, particularly princess nicotine. i don't regret stanning over these for one damn second.

Wow. This entire George Wassouf concert in Lebanon in 1992:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P49-4O9lu0
Have posted and re-posted parts of it. It is admittedly raw and ridiculous in various ways, but I still love the bulk of it. He and his band are on fire throughout.
(Actually I think the guy in the red shirt who introduces him did a human beat-box routine at the intro. but that appears to have been cut. Not joking.)
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 9 February 2018 00:08 (six years ago) link
2018 is the 25th anniversary of my passionate attachment to Arab music, and George Wassouf was possibly the first Arab singer I really cared about, even if his flaws and limitations have become glaringly obvious over time. So there is an excuse for my half-assed threads and thread revivals on related interest.
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 9 February 2018 00:11 (six years ago) link
Oh and good audio quality for a change, which might have something to do with this having been posted by someone whose last name happen to be Wassouf.
Does that two-man chorus ever crack a smile?
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 9 February 2018 00:12 (six years ago) link
I understand you liking his singing, despite your reference to his flaws and limitations. Just read about him still supporting Assad in Syria, which is unfortunate.
― curmudgeon, Friday, 9 February 2018 16:31 (six years ago) link
Assad has the support of the majority of Syrians. I think external attempts at regime change, largely driven by Jews who want to see Syria balkanized is unfortunate.

There is a blog linked in his user profile (if you click on the user name under the post). I'm presuming it's his. There are fresh posts as of today. The antisemitism goes back years. That's as far as I'm going to pursue this.
You might want to put a little NSFW warning here.
― Dinsdale, Monday, 12 February 2018 06:29 (six years ago) link
Sorry if I came off as overly snarky in my last post but he's given me thinly veiled useless bigot creep vibes forever which I think were actually masked a bit even to myself by his world music expertise. I take his particular brand of bigotry a bit personally and he should never be allowed to return. May he find peace and enlightenment elsewhere.

Dinsdale: Thanks. I've amended the post.
Calzino: for fucks sake man.
