I've never 'got'

Foreigner - I want to know what love is.

Number 1 for 3 weeks. Fuckin BANGER!

I do not get pretty much any music that's in the charts. especially that remix of "you've got the love", what a pile of wank. it's just all so awful.

Hate that too. The original was bad but this is painful - that terrible wailing voice

The one with Dizzee Rascal trying to rap/sing(whatever the fuck it is he calls it) over the top is even more disastrous

WTF is that shite! ^

God, Dizzee Rascal's a cunt!

^ Cannot watch that...makes me want to vom. Yeah, dizzee rascal, what a prize bell.

to a certain degree 'organic' shit

I remember all the hype about Dizze Rascal when he first came on the scene - they prortrayed him as this badass and he lived upon the 'fact' that he was some roughneck from the tough streets of Hackney, broken home, no opportunities, gangs with knives & guns - all the usual shite

Few years later he's on kids TV and playing at the Brit Awards - yeah, proper gangster mate>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

On the reggae theme, can I add stuff white faux-reggae-esque bands like propaghandi?

Propaghandi as in How to Clean Evertything & Less Talk More Rock? Have they gone reggae recently? In which case that's a massive shift musically.

I never got

Do one Tommy! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm moon walking outa here!

i never got 'do one' do what? a poo?

i never got 'do one' do what? a poo?

Do 'one' = a trip, a voyage, fuck off

You see, I think this might be my problem. I've never really given reggae much time because everyone who proclaims themselves a big fan* seems to be such a posturing weapon that I can't take it seriously. Like most genres, just listening to what gets subsumed into mainstream culture is never really a good start if you're looking to appreciate it I guess. Anyone willing to recommend me a good starting point into really decent dub? PM's please, I don't want to clog this thread up even more.

*this is totally in my experience. I'm sure there are loads of big reggae fans who don't think they're Jah born and stuck in a white mans body, I just haven't met any. My entire experience with reggae nights has been 'culturally aware' blowhards trying to turn enjoying a bit of spliff and having a few Trojan compilations into a fucking personality. Tragic and unbelievably annoying.

My Advice is don't bother. Listen to Metal Instead.

That's what Dizzee was into, and now look at him.

Who? ...

Am I a racist?

no^
want to see what happens next now!.
read all this chat with amusement,
whether youre black or white, Reggae is music of the 'sufferah', the common man, wherever you may be, so if you identify with the lyrics, thats unity between listeners. Aint nothing else to it.
Dub just sounds like nothing else around, and thats why I like it too.

Watched some of the football last night, allegedly the best football in the world, guys demonstrating every time someone even approched them it seemed to me,
bunch of fairies in a group.
"A man kicked a ball through a fence today, the world went mental, people let off fireworks in London, and Spanish folkeverywhere were ecstactic"
I've never got football, not likely to.

Propaghandi as in How to Clean Evertything & Less Talk More Rock? Have they gone reggae recently? In which case that's a massive shift musically.

Ooops, right.

I only really geard a few of their songs from how to clean everything. I got to
"Haille Sellasse, Up Your Ass"

And I was like WTF? this is the worst thing ive ever heard. A crustafarian shit sounding band, mostly with songs dissing something or other, and this reggae style song going on about how much they hate rastafarians.

Thats the only song ive heard of theirs since too, it seems to get played the most, like its their most famous & favourite track or something.

This is what I never "got".

Perhaps he grew up?

I don't (want to) identify with the lyrics and that is part of the problem ... I also don't want music that reminds me how dull my life is thanks, I want some imagination.

Bring me Dio talking about Rainbows in the Dark or Ozzie Singing about Men that have turned into Iron whilst travelling in time to foretell our imminent doom. Far more interesting and far more energetic thx.

you forgot the viking slayers

This man speaks sense.

I have no interest in some prick moaning about how shit his life is. Fuck off you cunt. Come and sit at this fucking desk for 9 hours a day and listen to the fucking first class chotches that I have to work with, and we'll see if getting stoned and playing music is that bad.

I'll take songs about the molten universe and releasing the kraken over some 'artiste' moaning about his poor soul.

:P

cheer up, could be worse.
