Doing a heavy metal night next week, good to do something completely different every once in a while , in fact next week is a music week here and the whole town organises loads of different musical events. If any body is interested to see what we have set up then have a look at www.urraim.org\djchris and click on the gigs written in blue under the title metz music week. We did the art work ourselves

I know what you mean regarding Cleo Lane, but Jazz music is a very broad church covering many differant styles.

 

why not give Miles Davies, Herbie Hancock, Art Blakey, Quincy Jones or even modern day jazz by Diana Krall (the best of the modern jazz vocalists) Clare Teal. Jamie Cullem a listen

RnB..... Yeah. Yeah. Uhuh. Yeah. One time. Uhuh. Bling. Wassup? Where the heck does the term 'R&B' come from anyway? I thought Eric Clapton was once regarded as a 'ryhthm & blues man'... so er... how did 'RnB' replace real music?

 

but what most people this is RNB is not in fact RNB, Eric Clapton is not a rhythm & Blues man, for real rhythm & blues try Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner, Dexter Gordon, or some of the greats from the 60's

I tried to vote for Country and Western, but got an error message saying I had already voted http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/huh.gif I think it might be 'cos I viewed the poll before I voted?

 

Anyway, I'd probably want to vote for multiple categories (I'm very intolerant) including Heavy Rock (although I did used to go to Rock clubs in the past) and Trance.

I voted rap.  I dont like it myself, due to the course vocals and dull, repetitive rhythms.  I used to have a certain degree of respect for Eminem for his lyrics (rather than his delivery of those lyrics),

I think that you're right about Eminem's lyrics, but his delivery is good too. He's also prepared to make fun of himself, both with his own stuff and the stuff with D12.

however now only "Without me" gets played if I'm asked for "Anything by...".

Technically ... only technically mind you ... "Ghetto Gospel" could qualify for this too.

trusting your own taste and DJ experience would soon have a list of tunes that would work ...think they should be posted as well - would be really interesting to see what a Rap expert thinks of a non Rap fans playlist etc....

That would be very interesting. I'd guess that it would depend on what the non-Rap fan was actually a fan of. I'd think that a non-Rap fan who was into Jazz would come up with a very different list from a non-Rap fan who likes Rock.

 

I'd think though that it would tend towards the more commercial stuff (the chart style of Rap), since there are plenty of talented Rap artists (particularly UK ones like Blak Twang and Roots Manuva) who never seem to get mainstream media exposure.

I'm puzzled by the frequent distinction between Rap & Hip-Hop and would love to know how people define Rap & then define Hip-Hop

The usual distinction made is that Hip-Hop is the broader culture and Rap is one part of that. Hip-Hop also includes DJ skills, b-boying, graffiti, clothes and beatboxing.

There are only 2 types of music - good music and bad music. I can't think of any genre which does not contain some songs I like. I used to think I hated C&W, but there are lots of great songs - check out Elvis Costello's "Almost Blue" or even listen to some of the stuff that Alabama 3 do (acid house country LOL.) I thought I hated rap, but like a lot of Eminem songs. I thought I hated modern jazz but love some Tommy Smith and Herbie Hancock tracks.

 

I don't like the kind of extreme metal that has been mentioned but grew up on hard rock. You either like a song or you don't - no genre is all good or all bad - and even if it were - it's music and, therefore, subjective.

 

Cheers,

 

Jack.

http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/offtopic.gif I think this is another topic to wind everyone up and its worked http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/bash.gif

Did with me!

 

But to be honest we will play what we are asked to like it or not but I dont do the heavey metal gigs same as the guys that do, won't do an 80's disco nite!

Each to there own,how dull would life be if we were all the same?

 

On a more chearfull note why not have a fun topic or get more involved in the fun topics on the forum now(silly requests strange things most popular etc)

 

Life's to short! If the cap dont fit dont wear it pass it on.

It's a great track, isn't it? Was playing it in the car last night. Have you checked out their latest album "Outlaw"? It's fantastic. I saw them at T in the Park a few weeks ago and they were brilliant. Check out "Hello.......I'm Johnny Cash" - magic song!

 

Cheers,

At the moment - "Trance" has zero votes. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/huh.gif

 

 

No-one hates Trance? http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/533.gif

 

 

Or was it simply that there were far more hatable (is that a word?) genres to vote for?

 

 

I've got nothing against the vast, wide range, of different sounding trance records - I like all three of them. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/tongue.gif

Anyway from that moment on I was 'into' their stuff.   It's nice to like a band nobody you know has heard of http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/headphone.gif   I've not heard their newer stuff but I'll certainly check it out. When I can put the latest Beastie Boys album down, that is. Now there's a good few tracks to tax a sub...
