Sorry, wasn't trying to ignore you. I don't ignore anyone 'cept Gardener, that is. I just get so many offers for sex from men that I have become de-sentisized to them.

I am taken. I have a hottie b/f who likes to see me naked.

You give Sabbath too much credit. Sabbath is/was overrated. Ozzy is dead.

Thank God. Since he's appropriately occupied worshipping at the Altar of You, can you please quit harpin' on your perfection to the rest of us, Aphrodite?

When they say "fuck off", I don't think they're making an offer.

(Never would have said that until you maligned Sabbath.)

In defense of Elvis
 

Well, they aren't so uncouth as to come right out and ask me for sex. They just are always trying to be around me and ask me to lunch/dinner and to go places with them and buy me things. I just assume that it is because they want sex, but maybe I am too cynical.

How dare you! Are you truly fucking insane?

Being an annoying, verbose troll is one thing - but maligning one of the top 5 most important bands of the last 40 years is another.

Hey, the only bodies I have talked about today are E/O's MIL ass, which apparently spends too much time sitting on the couch, Melissa Rivers' supposedly fake boobs that look disasterously real, and Carmen Electra/Pamela Anderson Lee Kid Rock's high riders.

It is the rest of you that keep bringing up my body. Fine with me. Keep up the good work, people! :D

A pro pos of nothing, don't you think that the eight bars of synth-violin before the opening lyric of (and elsewhere throughout) Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" would be an outstanding beat for someone to sample? I should be a producer, I swear. What other classics are out there waiting to be sampled?

Hi rapist wannabe, haven't seen you around in awhile.

You know the members of those "top 5 most important bands of the last 40 years"? They call people like you, the "little people." But keep defending them. They are laughing AT you all the way to the bank. I am sure they appreciate it.

Movie recommendations?
 

I think the dubbing sometimes enhances the movie-going experience. John Woo's "The Killer" is far superior dubbed (and I've seen each 5+ times); I love Chow and Sally Yeh's bizarre british accents. For some reason, the jump-cut to Chow Yun Fat opening the door playing harmonica (after hearing what we assume to be non-diagetic background harmonica music for about 5 seconds) is just not as funny in the subtitled version.

First off, this was funnie

Second, why the self imposed exile? Didnt you do a lot of work to get this going? why not help keep it going by throwing in your oft funny commentary? Obviously you are lurking so its not like you are afraid of being caught surfing here or allt he time it takes to follwo the boards. Surely you are past the SI style goodbye and all the attendant, please dont go we love you bullshit (except this post). And you know that you are probably not gonna get huge rounds of welcome back, long time no see, the board was empty without you, bc nobody does that anymore.

SO whats the point? You dont want to have a huge number of posts like me and Francis? WHo gives a shit? Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? Isnt the whole point of being here to entertain yourself?

Re: the propriety of quoting lyrics and riffs, popular dance music has been doing that farther back than people even thought that music was entitled to copyright protection. Soloists in Dixieland jazz bands could get a cheap rise out of a dance hall crowd by throwing in a improvisational lick from popular song B while riffing on popular song A. The artist didn't have any sense of responsibility for whether every single listener realized it was a quotation, because music doesn't have footnotes. In that sense, sampling and plagiarism has a proud history that predates recorded music.

To put it into your generation's terms, BB, don't condemn the Beatles for throwing that cut from La Marseillaise before "All You Need Is Love." Even if your comrades fought and died while singing that song on the battlements of Paris.

I'm not trying to hear that, see?
 

What's your man got to do with me?

Taken, shmaken. Do you really think your hottie boyfriend is going to mean anything to you once I come to town? You are mine. Maybe not right now. Maybe not tomorrow. But soon. In fact, I think I have some "depos" scheduled for your neck of the woods real soon. You can put on some Elvis. I'll wear a G.I. uniform. We'll fuck like animals.

I am not sure where the market is headed, but I prefer something more unusual to my ear mixed in to a track.

I have been hearing a lot of interesting tracks built on tropical and african beats and mixed into house. My favorite beat last year was DJ Quik's Addictive beat built on the Indian sample (that someone really should have checked and cleared first).

Nothing big - mainly because (a) I've been spending my free time trying to learn the ins and outs of this Board's code, (b) I've haven't had much to add to the conversation - although at some point I guess I should lob out there that I definitely dig Kim Carlson, and (c) I'm sick as a dog, yet again.

I had a long post to Bilmore discussing the tendency of bebop artists to quote melodies from other songs in their solos, to quote each others solos in their solos, about how popular riffs from solos ended up being melodies to entirely new songs which had the same chord structure as the underlying tune (and which became standards in their own right), and in which the soloist would often quote the underlying tune in his solo as an inside reference to those in the know. It was a masterpiece of a post, but the computer ate it.

I'm not trying to hear that, see?

That's so true. I was listening to my Justin Timberlake CD this week, and damn, I'm not sure, but I think it sounds a lot like NYSYNC's second album, with a little Michael Jackson from the 80's and early Backstreet Boys (before they sold out) thrown in. I can't tell if it's just an homage or out and out theft.

:p

I would call you a stupid cunt - but that would infer that (a) you were actually a woman and (b) thus be offended by such a comment.

Since you (a) are not and (b) won't be - I won't bother.

Rather, I'll just pat you on the head and say "keep up the good schtick"

This is practically outable, because I am so obsessed with this music these days, but you have to check out Six Degrees Records (and to a lesser extent Quango Records) for some excellent mixes of traditional world music and electronica. The results are not always brilliant, and sometimes are terrible, but there is some great great stuff out there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If my aunt had balls, . . .

(This'll all teach me to use a throwaway joke line with TM.)

I do understand that the entire course of musical expression has been a building, growing thing, with each new step based on the last, and with very few actual different combinations available. That's why I mentioned that Clapton never played an original riff. I just saw a qualitative difference between all of that subtle connection and using two lines of the exact words written by someone else in your ow song. But, hey, everybody does it, right?

I gotta agree withSlave. To call someone a wannabe rapist is just not approprate. Penske, you have finally gone too far with this sock.

TM/JFF/Whoever,

The difference between theft and sampling is like that old judge said about porn... "I don't know how to define it, but I know it when I see it."

The Beasties, Eric B and Rakim, BDP, PE... that's sampling.

Dre, Snoop... that's liberally using PFunk and seventies funk influences, and improving on the grooves.

Puff Daddy and that new Eminem song (Dream On)... that's theft. And bad theft. I have yet to see a single redeeming piece of work by P Diddy - he sucks completely in every possible respect.

S(fuck P Diddy)D

Here's an article in Salon about The Believer, the new Eggers/McSweeney's magazine that I was asking about a few days ago. I still haven't seen it, but I'll pick it up if I do. You may have to do the free subscription thing to read the article.

Since, for much of the history of civilization, women were never given much say in how our societies were organized, I have no doubt that monogomay was instituted as a social norm by men. However, even to this day, women really like it too. Probably even more than men like it.

Honestly, I don't want other men. I am really into my b/f. I don't even really notice other men that way. Perhaps if my b/f starts to get flabby, things would change. But as things stand now, I am hot for him and he is hot for me.

Quai des Orfèvres is the location of a French police station. It's kinda like Scotland Yard. Any film (from 1947!) where a blonde lesbian photographer has a crush on a brunette dancehall singer (who is the director's mistress in real life) should have something more to offer fashionistas than ovary jokes.

Black Sabbath is up there - way up there. A shade behind the monsters like Floyd, Hendrix, Stones, etc. Sabbath may seem campy and ludicrous at times, but they invented modern rock... 33 years ago. EVERYTHING you hear on AOR radio these days owes a debt to Sabbath. People look at their ridiculous behavior and Ozzy's terrible post-Sabbath shtick as indicative of what sabbath was. That's a mistake - if you go back and listen to Vol IV, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Master of Reality, you'll hear the blueprint for the Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Rage, etc...

PS: Why is it that we accept these talentless ugly children of celebs as heirs to the thrones of their folks? Joan is uglier than a bag of assholes, but she is funny. Her daughter does even play a good straight man for Joan - Melissa comes off like some dim child who's sitter was sick, so mommy took her to work for the day. Enrique Iglesias?
