    What is good about Pop Music?

    I love unpackaging yr writing. Unpackaging is the perfect word for it too, i think. I live for that moment of dawning understanding.

    what's yer top 10 - albums, singles, whatever

    Haha I've got one of those, stelfox! Mine just says "Dee" and it has the "diamonds" around the outside. 1. OG Ron C - Fuck Action 40: you heard about it from Dave, this is too great 2. DJ Harry - Bhangra Blast 2 - NYC DJ who mixes up some great recent hiphop/bhangra, and the flows don't sound...

    What is good about Pop Music?

    i think reading through this thread (and i am a lil tips so maybe my conclusion is suspect but) i've decided that no one has really defined "popism" the way I think anyone on ILM/etc "practices" it. I still think there is a popist strawman that has been constructed that does not reflect anyone's...

    What is good about Pop Music?

    OK I'm feeling a bit out of my league here so forgive me if I'm missing something but This sounds like an Imaginary "actual popist" to me! (IAP) Who are these people who JUST like what they think teenage girls like? Which is why i think teenage girls are really popists! As a generalization...

    BET has the best "after-school" video lineup with rap city followed by 106 and park, although the new rap city dude is pretty charisma-free.

    What is good about Pop Music?

    See, but I think the ave. pop music listener DOES give equal opportunity to the music that they hear - they just don't spend as much time searching out music. It certainly would explain why the pop charts tend towards diversity more than critics lists do, as a general rule! (this is a pretty big...

    What is good about Pop Music?

    I think the assertion that popists tend to be reformed indie kids or something is wrong. When I think of the people I know - and yes, this is anecdotal but i think it is representative of a wide swath of people - who listen primarily to pop music, they tend to be "normal" girls who are not at...

    r&b

    As Dave Stelfox knows, the 4-disc "Fuck Action 40" S&C R&B album by OG Ron C is GREAT. One of the guys from governmentnames did a nice write-up of it, too, you could browse the archives for it...I can't stop listening to it.

    Vast Aire- Look Mom No Hands

    Yeah I definitely did not enjoy this album very much, sad to say. I had high expectations though. I still love his rap style though. On some songs it really came together, but he definitely had good chemistry w Vordul (whose album was pretty damn solid, a good 7.5/10)

    What was the last musical moment that gave you a physical rush....

    I was smoking up with some friends last night and this s&c version of Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" came on the computer, it was wonderful.

    Any Wesley Willis afficionados in here?

    Well, it was sometimes a "he's funny because he's dumb!" thing, i suppose. Laughing at him rather than with him sort of thing. Most people i knew who were really big fans didn't approach it this way, but some people seemed a bit patronizing.

    Any Wesley Willis afficionados in here?

    Hahaha man Wesley Willis was my shit. He used to shop at dr. wax on berwyn all the time. A friend of mine was headbutted by him at a concert once, too. He has some inspired moments; the best thing about his music is playing it for someone for the first time. Sometimes people's reactions to it...
