When I cruise for new music I like to hit youtube, do a sort on various genres, and then sort by recent uploads. The other way to look for for new tunes is to surf internet radio, Itunes, Billboard, NPR, and amazon lists, but you really have to devote a lot of time to it to find tunes you really like. (e.g. I probably listen to 20 or more tunes for every one I buy) So it’s great to hear about the blogs. I’ll have to bookmark a few.

I’d also really like to hear about new music from everyone here — and no, I don’t want to hear about this tune or that tune from 10 or 20 years ago unless its highly obscure - most of my friends are musicians and I used to DJ a *lot*. Chances of you recommending an old tune I haven’t heard before are pretty darned slim.

Oh! Darling
wiki…interesting

Oh! Darling” appears to have drawn heavily on the New Orleans rhythm and blues sound popularised during the 1950s and early 1960s by African-American musicians like Fats Domino; it also seems to have drawn on the Louisiana swamp blues sound found in songs like Slim Harpo’s “Raining In My Heart”. Furthermore, it may have drawn on the related Louisiana genre known today as swamp pop, whose distinctive sound bears an uncanny resemblance to the basic structure of “Oh! Darling” — so much so that some in Louisiana originally thought the song had been recorded by a local musician.[4] (When swamp pop musician John Fred met The Beatles in London in the 1960s, he was shocked to learn that “they were very familiar with Louisiana music.”) Fittingly, swamp pop musician Jay Randall eventually covered “Oh! Darling” for the Lanor label of Church Point, Louisiana

I was poking through Itunes today, Van Halen has a new album coming (the one tune I sampled sounded mediocre) But I did find a Finnish symphonic metal band I like, (Nightwish) and picked up a few of their songs. I also signed up for their cloud service even though I’m backing up to both Frankenputer and DVD’s. The ability to convert many of my old tunes to lossless 256kbps aac was worth the price. Some unfortunately won’t convert from the old 128 kbps format, probably a type of license thing, I’m not sure.

I know it looks like that to me often as well. But the entire entertainment industry is in transition. There’s a lot of cool indy movies and music around on the web but the old school studios and record labels are still churning out the same old tired crap while they go bankrupt. Even with tougher copyright laws it’s going to be really difficult to make money from movies and music. I suspect artists will produce and release their own product (it’s cheap enough now with the improvements in technology) but I suspect the money is going to mostly come from live performances and tours.

Speaking of Swedish metal bands, check out the new Opeth record, Heritage. Very unusual group, started out as a death metal band and has evolved into something like a metal version of Yes.

re: #38 engineer dog

They (Los Natas) also have an instrumental tribute to Carl Sagan.

And lots of people hate him, but I think Dizzee Rascal is awesomely invigorating.

Though he should really figure out if he’s a complete gangster rapper who’s actually shallow, or whether he’s making an ironic commentary on shallowness in rap.

I think most of the blame would come from the record studios. From Elvis, the Brit invasion bands the record labels learned that there’s a lot of money to be made. A few companies ended up with a monopoly on distribution and radio play. Eventually they started producing stuff by formula and music acts were manufactured with a target demographic in mind. I think we’ll see a lot of evolution over the next decade or so as the old system falls apart.

People keep saying that music isn’t evolving … but they are wrong. Flanged voices, found sound, looping, and rediscovery of old genres that are now new again are all happening right now. Artists are refining, reinventing, and redefining. They are cutting and pasting, scratching and trashing, some of it might sound old and cliche but really, you might just be looking in the wrong places. (here’s a hint: the bulk of the top 100 has always sounded bland and repetitious…)

That’s the way with pretty much all the creative “industries” these days. Remember hearing the interview the other day with Steven Spielberg about Red Tails, about how Hollywood didn’t want to fund it because it was a film with an all-black cast, which they felt couldn’t be marketed because they’ve pigeon-holed all-black cast films into the “low-budget comedy” category.

The thing about evolution is sometimes it acts in fits and starts, and other time it seems to grind to a halt, with long periods of very little differentiation and mutation. What seems now like a lack of evolution has to do with the stranglehold a small handful of labels have had on the release and promotion of music, which is slowly falling apart as the Internet opens whole markets up to groups that previously would have had to conform to meet “what’s hot.”

I think the technology for movie making has been so expensive until recently that the movies are still dominated by the mass marketing folks at the big studios. Kevin Smith (maker of Clerks and Dogma) did the same sort of thing with his last movie Red State, he went without any studio backing and did pretty well with it.

Breitbart’s fake pimp and his accomplices screwed up in their attempt at voter fraud:

‘Dead’ Voter Talking: O’Keefe Voter Fraud Stunt Confused 23-Year-Old For Dead 84-Year-Old

Robert William Beaulieu is 23-years-old, lives in Nashua, New Hampshire, and is a registered Democrat. He’s also very much not dead.

But you wouldn’t have known that if you watched the lastest undercover sting video from James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, which featured a man with an Irish accent attempting to obtain a ballot on behalf of a Robert Beaulieu who lives on Cassandra Lane.

That’s the home University of New Hampshire graduate Robert W. Beaulieu, pictured above, shares with his parents. Robert P. Beaulieu, unrelated, died a few months back at the age of 84, and is apparently the man Project Vertitas’ investigator intended to impersonate. By all appearances, they got the wrong guy.

About that, the one of the reasons Lucas said he was given when he was having problems with the financing (keep in mind, Lucas has wanted to do this project since 19-freaking-88 or so) was that the studios make most of their gross on movies overseas (60+ percent) and overseas distributors said there was no market for a movie like this with an all/majority-black cast.

there was ever only ONE disco song worth any comment, and it’s brilliant…

Remember when there were only a handfull of Billboard charts?

Speaking of genres that have gone to fucking shit: Country.

What the hell happened there? Some of the greatest stuff used to be country, or kissing cousins with it.

re: #103 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

As long as there’s no attempt at a 70’s revival, I think we’re good.

there’s a lot more to the 70’s than disco!

There’s already a 70’s revival in hard rock, it’s actually been going on for quite sometime

1966:

1. The Ballad of the Green Berets, Sgt. Barry Sadler
2. Cherish, Association
3. You’re My Soul and Inspiration, Righteous Brothers
4. Reach Out I’ll Be There, Four Tops
5. 96 Tears, ? and The Mysterians

Some terrible crap on there.

Yep. Tends to make both the specific and the general of E.D.’s “the 60s were better” post rather questionable, doesn’t it?

not at all…this list is radio AM pap…a couple of years later the blues and r/r were all over the new FM waves…underground shows, late at night etc

This football game is turning into a battle of the turnovers.

California Dreamin is a perfect song

Most of that list is good 60s pop/rock. With the exceptions of “Ballad of the Green Berets” and perhaps “96 Tears”, that list is full of classics.

Stones, 1966

more like garbage than classics

re: #135 talon_262

Nothing by the Monkees is a classic anything.

Cherish is just sub-beatles, pleasant and inoffensive but not great.

You’re my soul and inspiration is the same as any other heavy-string 60s song.

re: #137 albusteve

Not everybody’s the Stones, though they had a good year in ‘66.

Besides, how can anyone not like the Four Tops, the Supremes, the Mamas and the Papas, and the Righteous Brothers?

*gasp* You don’t like Neil Diamond?

True, the man’s written and sung a lot of schmaltz, especially in the 70s and 80s, but he’s also had a lot of really good songs, sung by himself or by others.

Yeah, “others” always seemed better. It’s just—something about him. I don’t know what.

He’s a bit bombastic in his some of his deliveries and in some of his arrangements, especially if you listen to his live albums like Hot August Night. Still though, his mid-late 60s to mid 70s streak was pretty good.

No accounting for taste. I like some pretty lousy stuff (I’ll admit here that “Cherish” was a favorite at the time) so I guess I’ll miss a few good ones, too. Don’t tell Albusteve, but I don’t care for the Rolling Stones very much.
