Re: “Live Music: Elim Bolt, Modern Man, Charles Walker & The Dynamites, Swank Sinatra”

What is punk? An interesting question that will lead to hours and hours of debate, with the disciples of 80s West Coast Punk-D.C. Punk arguing for ascetic purity and self-flagellation while the lovers of 90s pop punk will argue that it largely comes down to which T-shirts at Hot Topic were the most popular. Nearly all will ignore that 70s punk was motivated more by poverty than anything else while the proto-punk of the late 60s was fueled by drugs and art house-shock theater pretentions; "punk" was not on their minds. Money and fame were.

And just in case anyone has forgotten, the Sex Pistols were a pre-fab band hand-selected by a fashion designer.

Re: “Savage Souls release first two tracks from ambitious mixtape project”

Pronghorn,

Wiki sums it up pretty nicely.


"In hip hop's earliest days, the music only existed in live form, and the music was spread via tapes of parties and shows.Hip Hop mixtapes first appeared in the mid-1970s in New York City, featuring artists such as Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaata.[8] As more tapes became available, they began to be collected and traded by fans. In the mid-1980s, DJs, such as Brucie B, began recording their live music and selling their own mixtapes, which was soon followed by other DJs such as Kid Capri and Doo Wop.[8] Ron G moved the mixtape forward in the early 1990s by blending R&B a cappellas with hip hop beats (known as "blends").[8] Blend tapes became increasingly popular by the mid-1990s[citation needed], and fans increasingly looked for exclusive tracks and freestyles on the tapes. Also since the 1990s, it describes releases used to promote one or more new artists, or as a pre-release by more established artists to promote upcoming "official" albums. In the hip hop scene, mix tape is often displayed as a single term mixtape."

Re: “Modern Man explores the outer limits of noise rock”

Interesting until the Morrissey on quaaludes vocals kicked in.

Also, that's not "noise". Not even close.

Boy, I bet if those guys were any good someone might give enough of a shit to put them into NME's list of snarkiest popstar quotes.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a "mixtape"?
