You know what I hate? I end up reading a great book and then the author never writes another or not many more. Off the top of my head, these have been some of my favorite books:

The Beach - Alex Garland. He ended up writing the Tesseract which was pretty good then nothing else.
The Etched City - KJ Bishop. Could not put this book down. She hasn't written anything since.
City of Thieves - David Benioff. He wrote 25th Hour and a collection of short stories. Then went off and wrote screenplays.

Frustrating. But maybe it just avoided being let down on later books that weren't as good.

[cantthinkofanything]

And don't think I didn't notice that you like Moorcock.

Sometimes they do write under a different name.

James Whitehead wrote...JOINER....a great book about the south, women, hard times and football. Yep, his only book as James Whitehead.

What I hate is discovering some author like I did with James Lee Burke and finding out he has a ton of books and you must have them all. Now the search begins.

[Avante]

And don't think I didn't notice that you like Moorcock.

Don't think I didn't think..."now watch this little dumbass kid act stupid over this".

[Avante]

The fun I have is watching how people react to someone like me. That.."you Googled that"...hahaha!!!!!!! They just can't accept the fact someone could just be into things for a long time and knows his stuff. Funny watching the...I MUST BELITTLE HIM I MUST!!!!!!!!!!!...hahaha!!!!!!!!

I'm the real deal little people and I can tell you are FINALLY figuring that out.

Don't think I didn't think..."now watch this little dumbass kid act stupid over this".

Don't think that I didn't think that you included Moorcock just so I would have to comment on it.

How many times have I mentioned Hollywood doing his Elric of Melniborn stories? The albino prince who relies on his vampiric sword Stormbringer for his vitality. Amazing world he's put Elric in, fantastic stories. This stuff is tailor made for today movie makers.

So as usual, wrong!

Of all your threads and all your posts...of every word you've typed...the only thing that sticks with me is that there was some dude who called himself, "Peanut the Kidnapper". So I can't tell you how many times you've mentioned Elrich and Melniborn stories. Could be a thousand or it could be just one. I really don't know.

I've read more of Franklin's poems that your lists.

Oh yeah...the other thing that I might remember is that you want to be called "naggerVnagger".

Are you even capable of actually talking with an adult? Why this constant."I funny huh?"

True, true. I can recognize the talent in the genre, but never was too attracted to it. You post good stuff, looking to watch the movie you recommended. I've always liked the post-war music, you know 40s & 50s. Not too many people under 40 appreciate the stuff.

I am moody when it comes to music. Some days I need some Hank Williams, others Howlin' Wolf, some The Crows, then I get in a The Silencers mood. Other days I'll stand there for 5 minutes trying to get in a mood.

I do need to know about the sound, when it was recorded the story behind the artist, the history of it all. I like to know the music.

Here we have a lot of kids still in that immature poster phase of things, obviously I mess around with them because it's funny. So to try and show them anything is a waste of time but every once in awhile I'll find someone like you who gets it.:toast

I figure a lot of people weren't raised on music with a lot of depth and backstory. My family would always have good music playing, they were into Queen and The Police in particular and that was passed onto me. I would read about the bands in my youth, they had very interesting backstories. I found the current bands at the time didn't seem so interesting, good music, but just not interesting people for the most part. You really appreciate the music you listen to after you know its roots and a little about the people who created it.

I quickly became interested in musicians and singers from the first half of the 1900s, especially Sinatra, Basie and Horne. I'd always do school reports on notable music figures from the time when I was given the chance and read whatever music books I came across in the library. I temporarily lost an interest during my college years, but it all came back like a boomerang on the backside of my head when I listened to this on the background of some youtube video.

You are on a whole other level than what we usually see "here". You understand music. So many simply don't get it.

As much as I love music unless I can actually get deep into it I don't listen, which is a bit strange. I don't just have it on in the background as noise. I'm either driving alone or have the candles burning the incense glowing with me deeply into it. Yep, in a trance, just like a drug.

Sinatra, Billie Holliday, Count Basic, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Satchmo, Jellyroll Morton, a very important part of it all. Not a month goes by I don't chill with that sound. Love it!

A large part of it is that by listening to the music, you're seeing through their eyes for a moment. Truly good music had some kind of inspiration, I believe, like the struggle of African-Americans the few decades before the civil rights movement. Listening to songs of a musicians career in chronological order can buy you a ticket to their emotional roller coaster, good times to bad times.

Without all that, it's hard to listen to a song more than once.

A great and popular example

You have got it nailed down Mitch, you get it!

When I listen to them old blues from the 20's, and some old cat is singing about hard times, he is living those hard times and you feel it. This isn't some cute boy band worrying about sales, this is the real deal and you know it. When Robert Johnson sings about not wanting the darkness to catch him there he means it. Blacks better be indoors in 1936.

I dont evevn need to reach into greatness to shame your lack of taste. I'll do you even one better. Tonight I'll make a thread... Avante vs Luva. I'll set the theme for you to show us how a romantic night would go down. If you can set a better mood than Luva... then I'll never question you on your music taste again.

Blues of that era had depth, you couldn't help but feel the emotion when the songs were written. It'll chirp me up as you'll often find in blues that when you have it bad, just take a look at how bad others had it.

How do you like Gene McDaniels? Very unique song, sometimes you need a few listens to really feel it. Even then, he really brings out the calm groove feeling music had during the era.

This cut by Kelly is near and dear to me. I used to date this sweet little Dominican for about year until I got a call from her mother telling me she was married.:wow Her husband was stationed in Japan and came home to surprise her but she was out with me that night. This cat plotted taking my life. So he did all his homework... so much so that he discovered that we knew some of the same people in the streets. They pumped his brakes, if you know what I mean... gave him my number and told him to contact me. Instead... he had her mother contact me. Long story short... I met up with the guy... had a drink, and gave him his wife back. He told me he listened to this song every time he couldn't get in contact with her. They're still married with 3 kids. I like to think I added a little therapy to their suffering relationship.

This all-time classic was used in the movie Sugar Hill. It comes in right on time after the father overdosed on bad heroin given to him by his own son. Classic!!!

This one ranks up there at the top for me. Do you know what inspired such a timeless classic? His first wife was divorcing him and he couldn't keep up with alimony payments so she sued him for the rights to his next album, which was "Here My Dear." He dedicated the album to her, hence, the title of the album. The album flopped due to them not promoting it... she sold her rights and the album became an instant classic upon his death.

Marvin Gaye is quoted as saying David Ruffin had the best voice he'd ever heard... you could feel his pain. Kanye West ripped this track, and mixed it to a rap song called" Never Change."

I once heard him over at a friends. We were shooting pool and he came on (compilation) I had to..."who is that?" But, that was my only listen, which sucks.

[Buddy Mignon]

Dude, I;ve posted most that stuff (artist) already, where you been?

Yep, great stuff there, I totally agree that's why I posted it. Now add some Solomon Burke, Curtis Mayfield, Etta James, Wilson Pickett, Lou Rawls. I thought you've been paying attention?

BUT...can you do...

prewar blues
Chicago blues 50's
Western swing
Rockabilly
Country
Reggae
British rock
Oldies
Alternative
American rock
Folk
Bluegrass

Well?


Dude... I'm not one of your resident leg humpers. I'm too self-obsessed to follow all your posts. In case you haven't noticed I have a pretty large fan base of losers following me around. With the exception of maybe Bluegrass... everything you just listed is rooted in Jazz and Blues... especially British and American Rock. I have all those names you just mentioned... I just gave you a taste of what I I'm fucking with. When Napster was popular in the late 90's, early 2000's I downloaded everything I could imagine. In fact... I never listen to the radio. I research artists and find out who inspired them to write their music. You find out real quick that most music is rehashed from previous musicians. The same can be said for novels and movie scripts. I'm more into movie soundtracks these days.

He's pretty good, I feel like he went unappreciated during his time.

Stop moving the goal post, old timer. You set the stage, remember? You said I didn't have depth, remember? Now you acting all brand new on me.

"Avante: I'm not in a romantic mood amigo and sense Judy won't be home until Sunday...well.

Do this shorty, show me some depth ok? I'm betting you have none.

You just lost your job, your old bulldog just died and your woman left ya a note on frig...


Dear Loser

I been fucking your brother, you suck!

See ya,

Ok small fry, give me something to ease the pain."

Ok? I gave you something to ease the pain... now you rambling about some other shit, and what you already posted, and what I'm to assume you're into. Latimore and Percy are B class artists... not surprised you'd prefer to listen to that. I'm top shelf, son... from my women, to my food, to my music, to my drink, to the baby wipes that I wipe my black ass with. You need to catch up, son.

[Buddy Mignon]

[QUOTE=Mitch;7955400]Blues of that era had depth, you couldn't help but feel the emotion when the songs were written. It'll chirp me up as you'll often find in blues that when you have it bad, just take a look at how bad others had it.

How do you like Gene McDaniels? Very unique song, sometimes you need a few listens to really feel it. Even then, he really brings out the calm groove feeling music had during the era.

I've already done that, remember? Don't go getting old on me. I played you something a few weeks back and you said you liked it. And why no rap? Rap is to Mowtown music what Rock is to the Blues. Its all connected, son. I thought you knew that.

I had a feeling you weren't getting it. You're not.

Pay attention little guy....

Who doesn't know about all those "NAME" artist, well? Who isn't into Nina Simone? Ever heard her ..Nina Simone The Blues?

Dude, get off ...THE TOP 40...ok? Take me somewhere we haven't all been, ok? Al Green, Otis Redding, Nina Simone are all well known artists, ok? Take me somewhere else, can you do it? No you can't because you lack depth as I mentioned.

So far you haven't shown me shit, just a bunch of famous artists we all know about, wow, how boring is that?

Dude, can you do anything besides black R&B/Soul?

I want to actually listen to your videos, I can only handle rap for so long before it all sounds the same.

Are you capable of going in another direction?

Dude... look... we could go on for years and never run out of music to compare. I'll introduce to some new shit. The music today is much less soulful, but some artists are still able to tap into the root.

That hurt, you actually think that's new to me? Come on guy, DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You really don't get it do ya?

I have to go, 6am rolls around early.

My thang is have some variety, be able to know a wide range of music. You do come off as being limited.

I'm going to leave you with a tune that Alan Lomax recorded in 1942. He was driving around looking for anyone who could sing/play. So he comes upon this black church in Clarksdale Missisippi. This is a masterpierce.
