Beth Hart - Fire On The Floor CD Review
Beth Hart February 23rd, 2017 Boston, MA Concert Review
"I can't complain. I got to be Jim Morrison for the first half of my life, and Ward Cleaver for the second half." - Warren Zevon.
Ah man I just realized it was gone, it was slow though. People just have no interest in current popular music lol
But still...there was some good topics and debates though.
Take my dreams, childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze, please just be there for me
Check your settings out, you can add threads to a favourites list so if the music threads disappear off the front page, you've still got easy access to them.
Bah. Bah, I say!
From Wrekonize to Kacey Musgrave, or new KRS-One, Willie Neslon, and new Bob Dylan there's plenty of good stuff bring produced right now.
Alright, so those aren't the genuine chart-toppers of the moment, but even that stuff, some of it's catchy enough. I have Shinee and Taylor Swift songs imprinted on my brain just because every other store in this city plays the stuff on loop while you're shopping.
I'm not disputing that. I like a lot of new music. I'd hate to be one of those boring old farts that stopped listening to new music once they finished school. The reference was to "current popular music". Most of which is, to put it kindly, utter garbage with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
I'm with you, to a degree. Most of it's not great. But, I followed up with very very pop stuff because I think there is still some value . I don't think you can make an argument against Taylor Swift being pop, and where I'm at, Shinee definitely is. It's an "artsy" boy band. The redeeming feature of this stuff, the bulk of it, be it Katy Perry or LMFAO or whatever, is that it is catchy. That's about it. Sure, some songs rise above that, but it's point is to just be listenable, and it is. It's not really more or less crap than the pure pop chart toppers from ten years ago or forty years ago.
Most pure, disposable pop is good for background static and not much more. It's earworms. The gummy worms of music, the Domino's pizza. It's not there to last the test of time, it's there because people like a little sugar pick me up or some grease. Everybody wants to remember a golden time when awesome acts ruled the airwaves, nobody wants to remember that Taco or Tiffany, in their time, were probably much bigger than anyone you think of as "huge" from the same era.
I see that, really I do. I just find a lot of what's in the charts these days downright unpleasant to listen to.
Now get off my lawn.
