So at the midway point of this thread
we have Monty connecting with some ancient order of tree-benders, AA and PD arguing over who's got the girliest sub-culture and Battered admitting that he's too much of a princess to sleep in tent for a couple of nights.

Oh and Gonz is at work.

it's got promise so far.
i almost don't want to leave it unattended, in case it needs a poke.. like a newly-lit campfire.

I feel like threads peter out a little in the middle
I assume it's because everybody's on the sidelines having their oranges.

AA definitely has the bentest 'subculture'.
Anything that has to be as macho as 'metal' is protesting far too much.

Dubstep is the stuff that goes WUB WUB WUB
Jungle mainly uses amens

House and techno go BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

Rap just has stupid black men talking over some songs they've stolen from talented white guys that play their own instruments.

HTH xx

is it macho?
or is it just you're so used to music with no balls and some daft bint warbling into an autotune mic over some 4/4 tin-pot beat, that anything with a pair of stones terrifies you?
(UppityDamnPrimate LET'S OPEN THIS F*CKING PIT UP, Wed 8 Aug 2012, 13:07, Reply)

What?
I hate chart dance, and trance. And I love Pantera, Sunn O))), Carpathian, Kyuss, Earth and Black Sabbath.

Can't stand autotune, and I much prefer breakbeats over 4/4s.

Soz to bear the bad news etc etc.

so why the metal hate?
or are you talking about the people who can't listen to it without feeling the need to look like they were covered in glue then dragged at speed through world of leather and an ironmongers, and high-five each other after every 'sentence'?
(UppityDamnPrimate LET'S OPEN THIS F*CKING PIT UP, Wed 8 Aug 2012, 13:15, Reply)

I don't hate metal, you patronising flid.
But I don't see why pricks should think that electronic music is any less 'real' than music made with 'traditional' instruments.

A musical instrument is an object which can be used to make music. This means that computers and turntables are just as valid as guitars and drums. I assume you'd rather listen to McFly than, say, The Prodigy then?

i wasn't talking about electronic music
read the damn post again
i'm talking about the shit, repetitive,( example here- house music) tripe that has NO variation, just 'here is a 4/4 beat. now here is a sample of a woman going 'oooh baby yeah' autotuned to fuck, drop that in every four bars. now here is a short piano riff. do that for three hours, and if they stop dancing, throw in this sample of someone hitting a small child with a shoe'

for example, i saw dan le sac the other month and he was playing an instrument, which happened to be am MPC.
i saw a lot of other dj's too, who were blending other people's songs into each other. THAT is where i draw the line between making music, and being a fucking playlist operator.

House is by no means all like that.
Only the chart bollocks is.

But nice to hear a considered, thought through point of view.

DJing is far more than just playing someone else's tunes. It's a fundamentally different performance paradigm to live music, you witless spazwit.
