Random musical chat.

[Duff Man]

Bowie, sorry, La Roux, sounding good on the John Peel stage. Bit of a guilty pleasure is La Roux, the weird David Bowie looking bint.

[ZonkoVille77]

Alabama Shakes sounded boss earlier. Need to see them live for sure.

Can vouch for them. Excellent live.

[mattyq]

Kanye West

What the Fuck's this all about?

[cloggypop]

No idea. I'm watching Spiritualized.

[mattyq]

It's like watching a car crash in slow motion

[cloggypop]

Watch something better then. Spiritualized have been boss. George Clinton is playing with Parliament/Funkadelic/The Family Stone now as well.

 

[mattyq]

I can't help myself

I'm trying to work out what's meant to be good about this bloke

That's enough. 

Father John Misty. Suddenly the world is a better place

[stringvest]

Fjm is ace. If I was 20 years younger I'd be him.

[stringvest]

My local pub has had a tribute night today. 5 bands , floyd, madness, Beatles etc. ambulance outside to pick up a pissed woman who collapsed in the bogs. That's the sort of day its been.

[mattyq]

I like him a lot more than I liked the Fleet Foxes

[Mook]

I saw a boy called Gregory Porter before doing a song called Hey Laura before and it was fucking sublime.

 

I like it when you get a nice wee shock like that.

[cloggypop]

Father John Misty was indeed very good earlier.

 

Now watching George Clinton with his Mothership Returns. They are boss. Killing the Sly & The Family Stone stuff. Even better is that they are playing Rotterdam for free next month. Get in.

[Vincent Vega]

Semi interesting fact, her mam is June Ackland from The Bill.

 

Kanye West

What the Fuck's this all about?

I might be an old fart, but I don't see the appeal of today's rap superstars, they are vastly inferior to the godfathers of rap I grew up with in the late 80's, early 90's. Kanye West is just not in the same ballpark as the likes of Public Enemy, NWA/Dr Dre/Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Warren G. It's like comparing Sterling to Johnny Barnes (yes I went there), ridiculous. I have been forced to switch over and watch fucking Suede.

Where is George Clinton on? I can't find him.

[cloggypop]

West Holts stage. It's on iplayer. Worth sticking it on from the start if you like Sly & The Family Stone.

[Mook]

I like Sly & the Family Stone a lot.

 

An awful lot.

[Vincent Vega]

I have enjoyed some shit so far though, Motörhead, Mary J Blige, Super Furry Animals, some bits of Rudimental and Mark Ronson were boss, Hot Chip and Gaz Coombes all very good, and tomorrow is my strongest day with The Who, Weller, Belle And Sebastian, The Chemical Brothers and The Fall all appearing.

[an tha]

Suede have been good

[cloggypop]

The Fall are not playing are they?

 

Edit: so they are. I thought Mark E Smith hated the place.

I agree with what you're saying to a point, although really you only need to put Public Enemy and NWA in your list since that also covers Dre and Ice Cube. Snoop is boss but Dre had heavy input into his best stuff too.  Even so, saying someone doesn't compare to what are two of the defining standards for the entire rap genre is hardly saying they're shite.  It's like saying a guitar band is shite because they aren't as good as the Stones and The Beatles.

 

Also he's not really in the same market to begin with.  Don'rt get me wrong he comes across as a pure tit a lot of the time but when he isn't  busy dissing Taylor Swift and inventing leather jogging pants, he's a genuinely talented and insightful artist.  Not all of his stuff is to my taste but that doesn't mean I can't recognise it's good.

great song that.  

 

He's got a voice like a melted Topic running down the thighs of an ubermilf.

[stringvest]

I'd never be those cunts.  I'd rather be Nick Heyward.

[cloggypop]

I like Sly & the Family Stone a lot.

 

An awful lot.

Mook knows.

[stringvest]

Mook does know.  Trust him.

I just can't listen to modern rap mate, it's mostly awful, I was saying the same when Jay Z headlined, and the less said about Eminem, the better. I did like the bit of stuff they showed of Pharrel before Kanye's show started. I guess I'm one of those who doesn't believe Kanye West deserves to headline our premier music festival.
