I got down on the floor and kissed their feet.
So yeah ... just a bit
hyperbole fails me
Date: 2005-11-27 06:13 pm (UTC)RT plays Shake rattle and roll and whips out a solo encapsulating 200 (+?) years of western popular music, celtic into post civil war ballad into turn of the century billy murry frank crumit style victoriania into hot jazz into django into bebop into cool jazz into surf into british invasion into surf into psychedelia into 70's metal into 80's new wave and then back to jerry lee lewis.
How do you feel about james brown?
I mean, I think once you've covered those two, you've got Western civilization under your kilt, at least the good parts.

I know, it's way too reductionist but there's a thread of causality there. Deny it! I double dare you! Also, while we're at it, are you fmiliar with the Residents and their versions of TGOS's hits?
Re: hyperbole fails me
Date: 2005-11-27 06:52 pm (UTC)The Residents are a band I admire, and respect, and cannot listen to. They are too resolutely unmusical. Funny ideas though

Date: 2005-12-07 05:40 pm (UTC)I read somewhere (online no doubt, source of all dubious knowledge) that the slow down from Ska to rock steady to reggae was a result of the Summer of '66 being the hottest on record and everyone in kingston was too beat by the heat to dance as fast as ska required so they cut the beat in half.

presumptive surrender
Date: 2005-12-08 02:07 am (UTC)Re: presumptive surrender
Date: 2005-12-08 02:16 am (UTC)There was a movie called Drive In in the 70s, the theme music was What Ever Happened To Randolph Scott, which ran through the credits and showed up throughout the film if I remember correctly ... the main female character was named Glowie ... at one point the younger brother of the main male character (who ends up with Glowie by the end of the movie) is your typical horny pre-teen movie character. He looks down her shirt at one point and says "they're pink, pink as bubblegum"
it's a line that has stuck with me for years, and the song reference set me off, I apologize
its a sweet little movie too, wish it was out on DVD so I could see what a rotten movie it really is, and how faulty my memory is
