Big Roguey Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Just a place where people can provide links to music they like/discuss music festivals and so forth. Anybody who watched Glastonbury this weekend impressed more by the likes of Vampire Weekend and We Are Scientists than the headline acts. I don't know what it is but I was waaaay more impressed by VM and WAS than the Gorillaz and the Scissor Sisters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linsolv Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Vampire Weekend is infectious, and you'll want to have that looked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Roguey Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 I like Vampire Weekend. I love bands who break the mold in terms of music. I mean, how many bands in the modern indy circuit have African influences in their music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHK1978 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Here is something that I have always gotten into a debate about. Why is Michael Jackson called the King of Pop? Shouldn't Paul McCartney be called that? I know it is just a silly name, but Paul McCartney has influenced many people of different musical genres (even Michale Jackson himself) and is in the The Guinness Book as the most successful musician and composer in popular music history. So would that not make him the king of pop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how many people will obsess over Paul like they did with Jacko. I mean the doctor is still being sued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linsolv Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 A couple, to answer your question, formerly-of-Michigan Hero. Not many, I'll confess. But then again, that doesn't really mean anything. I could list dozens of bands with strange quirks, and it doesn't make Ghost Mice any more worth listening to, if you didn't like them to begin with (for instance). Here's another one, now that I'm thinking -- Radiohead. How many bands can get that much mainstream coverage, and still be welcomed with open arms by the indie community?

GruntMark Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Here is something that I have always gotten into a debate about. Why is Michael Jackson called the King of Pop?

The whole Paul is dead thing was very big at the time. Michael Jackson was the self proclaimed king of pop. Thats called marketing. Also, Im now the King of the Forums. That is true, but it was repeated so often that he believed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Roguey Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Ah. "Paul is dead". I love just blurting that out in the middle of a conversation and see what happens. What is everybody's opinion on that anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Paul probably is the greatest musician of the modern era. Im going to be incredibly sad the day he actually does die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I even like Wings music as well (ducks head while people throw stuff at him). All though, I think that George Harrison was the best singer out of all of the Beatles (Not counting Pete Best or Stuart Sutcliffe because I never heard them sing).

Fun McCartney Fact = In addition to being a muti-million selling artist, Sir Paul is also a painter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdgoldeneye Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Here's another one, now that I'm thinking -- Radiohead. How many bands can get that much mainstream coverage, and still be welcomed with open arms by the indie community? Well, they haven't really gotten much mainstream coverage since Creep was a hit. They've gone the opposite direction of most acts. They had a big hit and then got less and less mainstream as time went on in a very intentional way. Look at the song My Iron Lung. They've been running away from public success for years. What happens is they continue to create great stuff and, as basically the kings of the sub-mainstream sector of the music world, they act as the sitting figureheads of the entire indie concept. Need an "indie" band to play at the Grammys? Get Radiohead. Need to play an "indie" video or two in your rotation? Radiohead. (It helps that their videos are good like Paranoid Android and the House of Cards one that didn't even use cameras.) The mainstream recognizes them out of a combination of respect and a marketing thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
