A Music Thread

[Al B. Sure!]

Okay anyway... back to music...




In my day, music was about the feeling and the stories and came from the heart... not all this loud and obnoxious punk rock crap

I dare you to not enjoy that song. If you don't like Maxwell you have a psychological disorder that probably needs to be treated professionally.

Skandaali - Elämä on peli ("Life is a Game")


Kapasiteettiyksikkö - Usko parempaan ("Believe in a Better Future")

Another song from 2pac's politically criticized debut album...



This is what I don't get. If Dan Quayle and Tipper Gore took issue with 2pac's politics that's one thing... but to grandstand and demand that Jive/Interscope pull it from shelves! I mean come on.

Quayle made the statement, "There's no reason for a record like this to be released. It has no place in our society."

Really? Lyrics like this?

"Words of Wisdom
They shine upon the strength of a nation
Conquer the enemy armed with education
Protect thy self, reach with what you wanna do
Know thy self, teach what we been through
Armed with the knowledge of the place we been
No one will ever oppress this race again
No Malcolm X in my history text
Why is that?
Cause he tried to educate and liberate all blacks
Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week?
He told blacks, if they get smacked, turn the other cheek
I don't get it, so many questions went through my mind
I get sweated, They act as if asking questions is a crime
But forget it, one day I'm gonna prove them wrong
Not every brother had his mother on the welfare line"

I mean really? "There's no reason for a record like this to be released. It has no place in our society." Can someone explain it to me?

Is this purely racism?

"I'm fed up, we gotta start teaching childern
That they can be all that they want to be
There's much more to life than just poverty"

Oh! What horrible message with no place in our society!


I want someone anyone to explain this to me. Were Dan Quayle and Tipper Gore really this racist?

[C0ckney]

who ****ing cares what dan quayle and tipper gore think. do they post here? you're having a 20 year old debate with yourself

anyway, when i first heard this song i wasn't all that impressed, but over the years, it's grown on me and is now perhaps my favourite blur song.

Loreena Mckennitt - Greensleeves

Dr Feelgood

British 70's pub rock at its finest. How to do the blues with a unique guitar style. Wilko Johnson

Excuse the dull presenters, but this is one of the best Dr Feelgood vids, so it's worth waiting for.

Lahannya - Inside The Machine

I saw this band on a bill with a friend's band at the Purple Turtle in Camden last year. They're back in London in November, and I'm looking forward to it. She should be in the Babe Thread too.



the same song, remixed to a Metropolis video

vintage Eminem from 1996...



The 1996 Eminem was told by A&R's that he was not marketable as a socially conscious white rapper so he couldn't get a major release for his first album. It's interesting how people in the media criticized him for his lyrics when it was the public that made him... he was rapping positive but it didn't sell. The masses wanted to hear violence and wife murder.

His rhyming complexity is bananas.
