that bein said, I struggle to see how she classifies as old school.
I happened to flick the box over on to the edge and they had 9 to 9 old school and taylor swift was playing. I didn't hang round :confused:

[jasonu]

Only hipster doofuses say old school.

[husaberg]

Only hipster doofuses say old school.Too right, it was just school first time arround.

[george formby]

:yawn:The only thing I recollect of this Taylor Swift is a mention somewhere that she does not feel the need to shower everyday. I think she has blonde hair and sells records.

That's it for me.

I'm from the north of England, a taytay or tatey is a potato. As at Sunday lunch before Match of the Day, "would you like some more mashed taytays" me mam would ask.

[AllanB]

Tay Tay could go old school on me.

They spell it 'Old Skool' ............... they are doofuses after all.

theres some actual old school for you: from an album from 2005, that live performance from 2009

As for Tay Tay:

She writes her own material
She owns her own material
She bullied Universal when she changed labels that its windfall gains from selling its Spotify stake be shared among the artists not trousered by the label
She was gracious when that CUNT kanye west (a talentless motherfucker if ever there was one) stole her stage at that awards.


Also, she is a talented songwriter. None of us are her audience, but some of you at least will have heard of Whiskeytown, and Ryan Adams. Ryan covered her 1989 album in its entirity track for track. It is absolutely brilliant. Shows you that a good song is a good song pretty much regardless of instrumentation or affectation.

Her pop music I can take in only small doses, but hey, its way better than what they call rap and r n b these days.

What defines "Old Skool"?
From what teh interwebz says she's been doing the big time sing thing since 2004 so that's 14yrs
10yrs is often considered "old"

Only the yoof of any given generation consider 10 years as old, history, past it.

Then they grow up.

Shirley any debate on this, "back in the day", "when I was lad", "the old 'skool'", must be over a considerable swathe of at least one generation?

I think Deborah Harry has more context, she is no longer a prominent performer but has inspired many. As an example of my feel, anyways.

Joan Jett, Siouxie Sioux, Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, June Carter (Cash), Heart, &c

I'm of an age where it would not be inappropriate to tap some of those ladies. Chrissie Hynde and Nena are still performing..

It's an age without performance anxiety.

[Voltaire]

At the time of Punk rock( 1976/77) I was searching out stuff from the late 60's and early 70's and was really old ( which is all the Punk Rockers did anyway). The Rolling Stones were called the Strolling Bones and they were in their late 30's.
Its interesting all the 90's bands are on the revival circuit.
Blondie was a bit lightweight...

Eerie, I was dipping my toes into West Coast US acid rock in the early 80's, more or less when my pubes where at their fluffiest.

I have since dived in with the advent of the internets.

I sometimes use music to gain the focus of a class. The stuff that focus' me gives my students focus. Very few know what I'm playing but quite often a lot of jaws are on the floor. A whole new energy ensues. The world gets a bit bigger, we have new conversations.

On with learning.

How much hip hop and rap can one stand?

Eminem didn't shoot rappity hip hop to the top of the charts till 99. I guess Vanilla Ice was 1990 but I wouldn't consider the 90's to be rappity hip hops time that came in the 00's.
90's was more the time of the boy/girl bands - Spice Girls, N*Sync, Backstreet Boyz, 5ive etc etc

Was thinking more the Manchester stuff like James, Inspiral Carpets, Stone Roses, Oasis, and US grunge stuff.

[WALRUS]

You're right, "Britpop" and grunge are on a bit of a comeback.. Still my main choice of tunes, to be honest

[Scuba_Steve]

See while you prob recognize all or at-least most the boy/girl bands I mentioned I can only say I recognize Oasis from that list & even they were a 1 hit wonder with Wonderwall (well them & Nirvana, Pearl Jam under the "US grunge stuff" cat)

:dodge: Don't hate me, I'm just into diff music (NOT the boy/girl band shit either)

[Berries]

Oasis, 1 hit wonders? :shit:

[WALRUS]

Oasis, 1 hit wonders? :shit:

They've got a huge catalogue with a lot of commercially successful tracks but you've got to admit that the one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest is undoubtedly Wonderwall. They weren't one hit wonders but they may as well be for an awful lot of people.

Wonderwall sure had a huge impact on release. I watched a doco on Oasis recently so I guess they are more prominent in my head than they would be normally.

And yeah, they appealed to a lot of awful people.

Variety is the spice of life which is what makes music so fascinating. Stumbling across something decades old, but new to me, is still a buzz. Same with new but yet to be famous bands.

I really hope I can get to Glastonbury again before I move into a rest home. :yes:

My old time favs are still The Undertones.

Fuck no, the 90's was all about industrial metal and rock and roll (aka "grunge") (and country) for me. White Zombie/Rob Zombie/NIN/Soundgarden/Nirvana/Whiskeytown/Uncle Tupelo/Lucinda etc etc.

Oh yeah, 90's was all about the rise of EDM and raves and those happy faces and shit.

In terrible fucking news today, Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks has died :(

Every song is just the same.

It's like they never developed at all. Ever.

Why would they if they achieved perfection from the start? (which they did)

[Laava]

I like that song "eight of spades"

[F5 Dave]

The pleasure is to pay, makes no difference if you're gay
I don't share your lube, the only card I need is the Eight of Spades
The Eight of Spades


Hitcher would have been proud.

[AllanB]

Where is Hitcher?

[Swoop]

I recognize Oasis from that list & even they were a 1 hit wonder with Wonderwall...

"One hit wonder"...
Really?

Eight #1 singles and eight #1 albums = "1 hit wonder" in a backwater shithole.

[F5 Dave]

Where is Hitcher?
Hmm, yeah was wondering that.
Last seen here Oct 17

REQUIREMENTS FOR SINGING THE BLUES

1. Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning..."

2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, 'less you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town."

3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes...sort of:

"Got a good woman with the meanest face in town.
Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town.
Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pounds."

Breaking your leg cause you skiing is not the blues.

Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die.
So is the electric chair, substance abuse, and dying lonely on a broke down cot.
You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or getting liposuction.

16. Some Blues names for women:
a. Sadie
b. Big Mama
c. Bessie
d. Fat River Dumpling

17. Some Blues names for men:
a. Joe
b. Willie
c. Little Willie

18. Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Debbie, and Heather cannot sing the Blues, no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.

[F5 Dave]

[Spoken]
We want information, information, information
Who are you?
The new number 2
Who is number 1?
You are number 6
I am not a number, I am a free man!
[Laughter]

[Verse 1]
I'm on the run, I kill to eat
I'm starving now, feelin' dead on my feet
Goin' all the way, I'm nature's beast
Do what I want and do as I please

[Pre-Chorus]
Run, fight to breathe, it's tough
Now you see me, now you don't
Break the walls, I'm comin' out

[Chorus]
Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going
Out!

[Verse 2]
If you kill me, it's self defense
But if I kill you then I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye I will defy
You'll be afraid when I call out your name

[Pre-Chorus]
Run, fight to breathe, it's gonna be tough
Now you see me, now you don't
Break the walls, I'm comin' out

[Chorus]
Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going

[Chorus 2]
I'm not a number, I'm a free man
Live my life where I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
'Cos I'll run rings around you

[Chorus]
Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going

[Chorus 2]
I'm not a number, I'm a free man
Live my life where I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
'Cos I'll run rings around you

[Chorus]
Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going
