I figured you'd be thrilled, Zap. Smile

He's one of your fellow travelers - you know - kinda cool....kinda catchy.....
Like Daughtry with hair. Cool

None of that -weird, progressive. just wanking and showing off his impressive chops- for him.
He's playing what the people wanna hear.

Right? Think

Two things:

1. His hair is very weird

2. Has he gotten laid yet?

I'm a bit torn over JB.

Firstly he's a young Canadian kid from just down the road from where we live and any Canadian success story these days is rare indeed.

He also seems like a pretty regular kid and actually his original youtube vids are of him just strumming an acoustic guitar and singing regular kind of stuff without the hype and all the big rap and rnb people who have been turning him into Junior Justin Timberlake. He's a kid and has no control over the musical side of things and his mother who does have some control is happy that he's become this teen icon and not worried that he will probably be around as long as Hanson were, and in 2 or 3 years, he will be burnt out and old hat, so long as he is coining it in right now.

That haircut really has to go - mind you, people hated on The Beatles for the same reasons ... (bubblegum pop and moptop haircuts, until they had been successful long enough to dictate to the record company how it was going to be, instead of the other way around).

We live in a disposable society. Only us old farts live on to make everybody else miserable. Laughing

I think a change of terminology is in order. What used to be the music industry has now become the entertainment industry. (Generally speaking). Music itself has become a different entity, known only to those who spend time on other planets.

haha... i still laught about the bitter old fart statement ...

it is so true.

I am on that trip myself .. but in concsious moments I realize that there is not quality as such, never has been. It is always a subjective thing, changing over times. Not event he "disciplines" could be separated clearly (music, entertainment, painting, etc. etc.).

Who cares!

In the meantime I continue being a bitter old fart and will definitely enjoy it ! Smile

Who on earth thinks that one human being has to have one consitstent mindset? Smile

Hello,

ZapAxe · Posted: Tue Nov 23, 2010 5:49 pm Post subject:

To each their own Smile

I don't think "pop music" or derivatives of it need to be seen a a 'bad' thing, JUST because it's popular....as many seem to indicate. Though it depends on your own definition of pop I guess...??? Popular could be gum-ball/kiddie music, easy listening, to hard rock, etc, etc, etc.

Me, I either like something or I don't it's that simple. The song could have 3 chords with fewer notes, more complicated with lotus' notes, slow, fast, popular or not, my liking of any given music won't be based on these preconceived factors. I just happen to like much of what I've heard on the radio since The Beatles in the early 60's. Sure, I've heard a lot of less popular/little known music... much of it I don't like, but occasionally I'll love it.

As for Justin Bieber (gumball/kiddie music) being "Artist Of The Year" with so much other great music and musicians out there ...what is this world coming to Confused

But all this artist of the year stuff is just a popularity contest and apparently based on what young girls like, which seem to be the largest buying demographic.

I'm just gettin' too damn EFFing old to care about what's popular or not Smile

I never watch the Grammys, MTV Music Awards, Much Music Awards (in Canada, this is the equivalent of the MTV awards), Brit Awards, or AMAs because the whole thing is just about a bunch of teenage orientated RNB and Pop with the token other (see Taylor Swift) genre thrown in, most of which are 21 years or under singing for 12 years olds.

Given that I am long past that demographic, there is nothing worth seeing or hearing in those awards ceremonies.

Music is in a pretty sorry state these days. There are still the odd band or artist worth hearing, but you are looking for the needle in the haystack really. You can blame this on the major labels, who do not take risks any more, signing up fewer artists than ever before and almost all of them in the pop/rnd/hip hop categories and dropping anyone who isn't an instant success as quick as they can. In times gone by, most artists were at least given a bit of time and sometimes a few singles or a couple of albums to get established and be successful before being dropped. People like David Bowie would never have made a name for themselves in this day and age.

The little tyke is playing in Toronto tonight, so we can change Gridlock (traffic is always bad downtown anyway) to Kidlock!

For those looking for something new and more mature, you might want to check out http://www.npr.org/series/tiny-desk-concerts/

Lots of interesting non mainstream acts there!

Cheers

So, before I totally discounted Justin............I spent the last 20 minutes listening to a few of his tunes on Uboob. Boy..............it's worse than I ever could have imagined. I was totally prepared to find SOME intrinsic value.............but there was only CRAP!!!!!!!!!Smelly, steaming CRAP!!!!!
