The names are awfully off-putting. I mean, okay, I do get it-- fine-- you are allowed to be over 14 years old and enjoy your sword-and-scorcery, gore-and-horror, and naked chick warrior imagery. But the facts on the ground are that this stuff has historically appealed overwhelmingly to that pubescent male demographic, and my personal experience is that that was the only age in my own life when I had much use for it. I just can't take it seriously, and at the same time, if it's supposed to be funny, it's some kinda humor I don't get, like pot humor or Jeff Foxworthy. > I think there's also a certain guitar tone or playing style that I don't > like.

Same internal struggle here. I've just accepted it.

Conversely to KC, I eventually came around to this same conclusion regarding Led Zeppelin, but it took me years (and ther are a few Zep songs that I still never ever want to hear again). Probably because when I was growing up the kids who liked metal also liked Zeppelin. So that, as with KC, is part of the band's own context or history that I was too late to really understand at first. Metal... it's just not "for me". And I swear it's the *only* musical genre for which that's been consistently true for me. (Prog come close, but I like some proto- and post-prog stuff to much to close the door forever). - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 10:38:39 -0800 From: Rex Subject: Re: iTunes WTF, part more On Feb 6, 2008 9:21 AM, 2fs wrote: > > > Anyway: how *do* somefegs use genre tags?

(Like Jeff Foxworthy.) So if there's a humorous aspect to certain of metal's lyrical concerns - like, we're supposed to laugh at some guy throat-gargling about blood exploding in a rain of fiery corrosive goat abortions - we're not going to laugh at it on the eightieth song on the tenth album all about fiery goat abortions.

The first couple things anyone > ever played for me sounded like metal. > As I said, there are moments that approach it - but they don't come with the imagery, and there's so much else going on...there, it's more like they made the same discovery metallers made: you play an open fifth on low-pitched strings through a distortion box, and the result is very powerful. And of course Fripp was playing guitar like that before metal was invented: in fact, more props ought to be given to "21st Century Schizoid Man" in that area than's usually heard.... So I see the parts of KC that might sound metallish as being, essentially, pre-metal...or an ingredient that's used along with others. Metal: the Too Much Salt All the Damned Time of musics. (and ther are a few Zep songs that I still never ever want to hear again). > Zeppelin suffers from the fact that some of its most-played songs are its absolute worst ("Living Loving Maid" & "Heartbreaker," say). And there's no doubt that some of Plant's lyrical and vocal approaches led to the absolute worst of cock-rock during the '70s (and-uh *was* among that). But there was always more to the band than that, and those moments are actually not all that frequent. And musically...one thing Zeppelin had that a lot of other bands in similar genres lack is a real and creative sense of rhythm. Those songs swung - and sometimes they did so despite being very unusual, rhythmically. I mean, WTF time signature is "Black Dog" in? At one point I think Page is playing 9/8 against the rest of the band's 4/4, and the overall meter of that thing shifts constantly. But it feels organic - not like "wow look at what we can play." That's actually part of Zeppelin's blues inheritance, I think: old-school Delta blues rarely stuck to the tedious 12-bar regularity of its descendants, and it was perfectly fine lopping off or adding beats here or there if the player felt like it. (Early Dylan did that, too. Incidentally, there's a characteristic country/bluegrass phrase ending that basically drops into another chord for an extra beat - I now can't think of an in-genre example, but I'd say the phrasing of The Who's "Happy Jack" is descended from it.) - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 13:21:03 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: iTunes WTF, part more On 2/6/08, Tom Clark wrote: > > On Feb 6, 2008, at 9:21 AM, 2fs wrote: > > > Anyway: how *do* somefegs use genre tags? > > I never used them either until about a year ago.

It freaked me out, because by that time I knew tons of work by all the players which sounded nothing like that-- and at the same time it also didn't sound like "Larks' Tongues in Aspic", of which a friend had years early given me a cassette and I hadn't been able to get through it.

I kind of view the accrual of that kind of detritus to a file as fun and intriguing, a benign mystery for future generations. Like scrawlings in the margins of a library book or a photo tucked into a used LP sleeve. But I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.

Thinking back on it, it doesn't quite fit the reality of Page's attitude (something about him being offended "as a purist" by some complex overthought musical aberration of Johnson'), and may have even further my disdain for Zeppelin for a while, because I gave it more credence than I should have (it being a joke and all). In another one, Page had on a wizard hat and turned a groupie into an axolotl, and wizard hats look funny. I think that part of what happens is that solo performers, as a lot of those early roots personas were, did have free reign to follow their rhythmic fancies as they performed. And they ended up being recorded doing it one way out of many, and that became "the song". And the next group of folks to revive that material (British Invasion or American garage bands, in a lot of cases) played them as *bands*... so in most cases all three, four, or five instrumentalists had to agree on the arrangements of those oddball skipped beats or random measures, when they occurred and how often. Some of them just smoothed it over (same thing happened with country, but with a little more continuity) while other, Beefheart and Zeppeling being exemplars of this in their own ways, decided to do something with the weird bits for their own purposes. It is generally to be lauded, I think. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 14:19:06 -0800 From: Rex Subject: Re: COOOKIE!!!
