I heard Tubular Bells in an elevator once.
I heard that one. I'm working with a real hotel lobby cheese jazz band called the George
Sterling Crawford Trio. I'm having them record Black Sabbath songs. I'm trying to make
them sound like legitimate muzak.

In 10 or 20 years can we expect pearl jam or the beastie boys?
To be honest, its hard for me to imagine that. They don't have any true radio
hits. MTV doesn't count. I think the Beastie Boys should drop the rap thing
entirely and start doing noise, piano ballads and pop music.
Muzak needs a breakthrough to really go to the next level. I could see that
happening sometime in the next 5 or 10 years. My next muzak venture will be
Lynard Skynard.
They're called Black Velvet Flag, and they do lounge jazz covers of punk
songs immortalized in _The Decline...of Western Civilaization_. Jazzy
guitar, bass, lugubrious lead vocals and a beatbox named Ringo. Black
Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, the Germs and Fear all get the treatment on
their album _Come Recline...with Black Velvet Flag_. Worth checking out
at least once, but listen before you buy.

A co-worker and I dj'ed another co-workers wedding.Along w/ the usual
wedding standards and the brides favorite artist-Madonna,I managed to
sneak in a flat-out hilarious lounge take of Black Hole Sun.
I did kick out Masonna's take of Like A Virgin before the guests arrived
-just to dry run our set-up.
Apparently the bride thought we sucked cuz I played This Boy Is Mine by
Monica and Brandy while she and the wedding party were waiting outside
prior to being announced.A song she apparently referred to as "nigger music"
It's pathetic that that kind of attitude still exists.
Which come to think about it is damn ironic considering that their wedding
song was Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers.
I'm down with Brandy. She's fine. Good song too, great vocal interplay. Now I *know*
nobody in these ngs likes smooth urban shit like that. I'll drop a homemade noise track
on top and rock da house (wiggly rewind step-child mix).

I hear that sort of thing about once a week.

I agree with Creaig - the only good fascist is a dead fascist. I wonder what would
happen if every racist asshole in the world woke up black. Would they all commit
suicide? That would be cool.
"You seem to be confused, the boy is mine, doo doo doo doo......"
That girl Brandy could be a huge pop star if she plays her cards right. She'll be bigger
than Mariah Carey - who is one of the finest women I've seen. Its that multi-racial thing.
I'll make her hit the high notes with booty clap to boot. Too bad there's no good ng to
discuss the finer aspects of pop music, sans freaks. Just won't fly in alt.noise. I tried
to strike up some conversation in alt.scum, but nobody seems to be reading. Fuckity fuck.

I opened my 4 hr. over night w/ This Boy Is Mine followed by Bomb20
follwed by Waterfalls(TLC) instrumental w/ R.H.Y.YAU sounds riding hard
over the top.
Yah,that's what I love about Mariah-when she nails those fuckin high notes
sweet!
Hey, I'll add my two cents - personally Brandy gives me the creeps, and that song of hers with
that other gal is dull,dull,dull. Like most post-Vietnam soul/urban music, it produces the
same effect as going shopping with yer mum on a summer Saturday did when you were a kid -
annoyance and boredom. These days, soul music as a descriptive term can only be take
ironically, as it's all about freeze-dried mechanical rhythms and histrionic gutbusting
vocalists. Zzzzz.
I think I might be blowin' my cred by acknowledging an awreness of this stuff,but what the hey
- there's stuff in the top 30 I dig, although I won't say what just yet! Go Yoshi!
You can't compare contemporary hip hop soul to Urethra Franklin and Diana Ross. That's like
comparing Martin with the Jeffersons.
Hell yea.
OK then, on yr terms - *all* contemporary American black pop is drab mechanical garbage. And no,
I haven't heard any rap this decade that can hold a candle to the PE/DMC/SchoolyD/IceT/LLCJ
output of the 80s. Fuck, there goes the cred even further. Macronympha kicks ass! Long live
Maso!
