Let's expand our musical horizons.

The Beverly Hillbillies never showed over here...

Okay, I see what you mean now by bluegrass. Don't think it's really my 'thing', so I'll just stick to what I listen to now...

 

Actually it did.. but it was many moons ago

Music

Offspring - Pay the Man
Killing Joke - Millenium
Cypress Hill - Lightning Strikes
Kyuss - Molten Universe
Faith No More and Boo Yaa Tribe - Another Body Murdered
Cluth - Pile Driver
Black Sabbath - Electric Funeral
Fishbone - Black Flower
Primus - Southbound Pachyderm

 

i'm not 30+! *g*

i just know anyway. its based on country, anyway its not really my cup of tea, i've tried it, found that it was a bit boring, and left.

 

I must say I'm surprised at the popularity of anything with Country roots. I don't have anything against it, it's just that Country has some definite associations in the UK which kind of firmly place it in a niche.

There's some cooky pop version of "Country Roads" over here at the moment. I can't work out whether it's a novelty record or the first of a wave of hideous abominations. Before the fires start, please let me stress that I am not claiming this is bluegrass. I've not heard any bluegrass but I'd be guessing that isn't it :smile:

 

country music is fine, as long as you stay away from the nashville whores *s* hate the mainstream country, god thank people like Uncle Tupelo and johnny cash.

 

The Nashville Whores? I don't think I've heard anything by them. If you hum it, I'll see if it rings any bells.

Your cheatin' heaarrrrrrtt ...

i would never know, i tend to ignore things i don't like.

*monkey is a music facist, if i don't like it, its bad, and "rotten to the core"*

 

Aaarrrggghhh ... must add ... smilies ... when joking!!

When will I learn that when I think I'm being subtle or attempting "dry wit" without a smilie it just confuses people? :shootme:

 

i knew it was a joke peep, i just followed through, no worries

 

Fats Waller
Sidney Bechet
Louis and Ella
and for funny - Tom Lehrer
-Edythe

 

Milo, check out Ricky Scaggs. I was first introduced to bluegrass by his cd's.. He is an awesome mandolin player and singer. Also, check out other Dan Tyminski's songs (he is the lead vocals on I am a Man of Constant Sorrow) Check out Lonesome River Band, Blue Highway, Thyrd Thyme Out, Nickel Creek, Alison Krauss, (sp?). If the older, original bluegrass appeals to you, check out Bill Monroe (father of bluegrass), Ralph Stanley, Flatt and Scruggs, .......

P.S. I HIGHLY recommend Ricky Scaggs. (Not his mainstream country shit, though...)

 

Great, retard, thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try Morpheus and see if it works for me. My file-sharing proggy (KaZaa) hasn't worked since I got rid of it's spyware. Once I do get it up and running, I'm definitely going to check those out.

I never thought I'd get into Bluegrass, because I don't really like country music. But then I actually heard some (on the O Brother soundtrack) and found out I liked it. It's nothing like Shania Twain or Garth Brooks. In fact it's real American "roots" music, the kind that I love. I'm deep into old Delta Blues and old negro field hollers and spirituals. Country blues from the '30s and '40s in other words. Bluegrass is kinda like country blues' white cousin. :wink:

stay away from the evil nashville whores, its good for you sanity

 

Hey!! I won't here a word said against the Goddess Shania!!!!!!!

Pity about the music, though...:smile:

 

Well, Reg, tough luck for you, because while Shania is good-looking (sometimes), her music bites ass.

 

Er ... 'scuse me ... sorry to interrupt your line dancing night ...

But I forgot to tell y'all about another few bands you're not going to be interested in but which fill me with joy.

• Autour de Lucie: French and fantastic.
• Deep Forest: also French, I think, kind of, their album 'Boheme' from several years ago is still one of my all time favourites.
• Delicious Monster: they did one album in 1994 and you'll never find it. I only have it on tape, since it was during my pre-CD days. I'm terrified of it getting chewed up.

Wow, talk about obscure!

What type of music is Delicious Monster, why did they only make one album, and why don't you back up the tape?

 

"line dancing"

thats the mainstream[the nashville whores], doubt that people line dance to people like uncle tupelo.

 

Your answers ...

1) High pitched, girl-fronted chirpiness, but not in a pop way. Sounds awful, doesn't it?

2) See above :grin: In fact, I could never persuade anyone else that they were good, and apparently neither could they.

3) What if the oringinal got chewed up while I was making the back up? Aaarrgghhhhhh!

 

Re: musical horizons

I just started listening to The Strokes' new CD, "Is This It?" Anyone else ever heard of it? No one at school has, although it can't be too "out-there" since it was in Rolling Stone.
