music in the shed

Captain Beefheart :D The torture never stops :P :P :P

so am I the only one here who quite likes some rap?

Most of it is utter drivel but you get the occasional gem: witty, creative & entertaining. Once upon a many years ago I caught Fun-da-mental playing live with the Dhol Foundation - absolutely magic, 13 or 14 musicians on the stage & a few more spread around the dance floor because the stage wasn't big enough...

Not that you're likely to hear any of the good stuff on the radio, same way the interesting bits of punk & folk music don't get played.

Much better listening than yet another LP of tortured guitar wanking.

You are not alone. Although i feel we may be a minority. I love a bit of rap now and then. First got into it when i heard ice-t's black and decker chrome dome. or something like that.

That'll be the enchanting "KKK Bitch" from "Cop Killer" the delightful first CD from Bodycount.

 
I haven't jumped into the music thread for ages until now, and being away on a job for 3 months I am seriously missing my music. I love Peter Green Marnix. The  End Of The Game is an LP I will always treasure.
A few years back I saw Peter Green and the Splinter Group at the Espy In Melbourne as part of a world tour they did. When He started to play Albatross the whole place fell to absolute silence, even the taps on the bar stopped. It was one of the most amazing music experiences and one that I will never forget.
The other part of this story was that I took a young guy to the concert who has schizophrenia, and while he is a brilliant guitarist he has never been able to play for anyone but himself. Seeing Peter Green play and knowing a bit about his journey helped this young bloke to the point now that he plays in a band and has a life that he gets enjoyment from and explore his musical talent. It never ceases to amaze me how lives intersect and sometimes even without knowing it.

My daughter in New York almost died when Kanye West sat down beside her at a concert. She was too shy to try to talk to him but did take pictures of him and posted them on FaceBook.
Of course telling her parents about the experience lost a lot of the magic when we admitted we'd never heard of him. Just out of interest, does anybody on this forum know who he is, or are me and SWMBO just hopelessly out of touch?

I've heard his name but couldn't say if I've ever heard any of his music. Doubt it.

Certainly wouldn't recognise him if I saw him at a concert. Not that I tend to go to concerts in venues with seats...

New Model Army tomorrow night, in the Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh. My all time favourite live band  :D

haha - I actually went and saw body-count- but they were kinda rap/metal hybred -  they sucked - but i think because they weren't a real band just a put together ice-T thing

as far as rap goes - i only got into the first ganster rap stuff- and only because it was so hated by everyone - kinda like punk was when it first came out so i could appreciate the stirring shit up attitude - got old real quick though
 
Hi Ken

the Grammy's introduced a Rap grammy award several years ago, Kanye West has been one of the winners. Maybe best known for several different versions of the song "When Jesus Walks", but bottom line a rapper and record producer and so on. I only know as I stlll have a 19 year old living at home....... :D

Only music in the shed today was my mumbling under my breath as I tried to make sense of the Le Mans charging system and why the generator light gets brighter with revs and the bikes voltmeter indicates zero when the battery is happily charging at 14.0v at 2500 revs. mumblemumblemumblemumble. I have a nasty feeling the rectifier if ducked.mumblemumblemumblemumble
