You are sick and tired of feeling alienated at your own concerts. You wished black people would come to your shows like they do for NBA Youngboy or Meek Mill. But for some reason your music only attract white boys.
How can you market yourself towards a black audience, and change the demographics of your fanbase? What strategy should you take?

Most will find this producer's daydream sterile at best and noxious at worst, but I like the song about his shrink and am fascinated by his compulsion to defend his Manson connections. With the requisite show of wealth and taste, he insists that he's only a spectator--why, he wouldn't even know about the hand jive if it weren't for Soul Train.

Feel free to discuss this magnificent genre, full of great music. How the fuck do you guys even started playing in bands if any gigging amplifiers are like 400 minimum?

A change in the musical landscape was inevitable if one would look at the pop charts of the first half of the 1950s. "The music that was on the radio at the time was not what the kids were looking for. There was nothing back then. The time of big bands and great singers had passed and everyone sought something new. The only interesting thing going on then was free jazz, but it was just a little too inaccessible for the mass audience. I thought if we made fast songs with a good beat, that you could dance and clap your hands to, that would be exactly what kids wanted," Bill Haley recalled.
To white teenagers of the '50s, searching the radio dials for something that wasn't Doris Day, Jo Stafford, or Vaughn Monroe inevitably led them to black music and radio. At this time, in a segregated America, the black music world was largely a separate entity that rarely crossed into the pop charts. It had its own classification as "race music", its own radio stations, and DJs. To most whites of the time, black rhythm & blues was shockingly raw and feral--predictably the only black performers to cross over to pop were ones like Nat King Cole and the Mills Brothers who performed the same brand of inoffensive material as white singers.
Perhaps the greatest irony of "Rock Around The Clock" is that it was originally a novelty foxtrot written by Max Freedman, a Tin Pan Alley songwriter in his 60s and anything but a member of the rock and roll generation. As groundbreaking as the song might have been, Bill Haley was not a performer built for the long haul. Nobody would call this unassuming man in a suit and bowtie offensive; at almost 30 he was hardly a teenager and he would humbly call himself "just a country boy." So it was predictable that rock and roll needed a younger star, someone who could truly be a feral sex symbol to teen America. What do you guys think of ne obliviscaris?
What other bands do you guys like if you like NeO?

Or do people still really think he was the best ever? What's some electronic music with video game vibes? Not necessarily 8 bit. I love old synths and drum machines.
Preferably something without a lot of vocals, but If the only thing you can think of has vocals, I'd love to hear about it anyway. whatever happened to him? now that the dust has settled.. were they good? >Iggy limped off to L.A. after the demise of the Stooges, where he staged his first solo concert at Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco, with a performance he dubbed The Murder of a Virgin. "Do you want to see blood?" Iggy asked the crowd, which howled affirmatively back at him. Then, at Iggy's urging, guitarist Ron Asheton, wearing a Nazi outfit, whipped Iggy repeatedly. Iggy began hurling racial epithets at a black spectator, hoping to goad the man into stabbing him with the steak knife he'd brought onstage. No luck, so he closed the set by carving an X into his chest himself.
What did Iggy mean by this? I'm joining a ship for six months and I'll bring ONLY the albums which get dubs in this thread. Get rollin frens Memes aside, I'm glad she brought back electric guitars. >Drummer John French states of "Old Fart at Play", "[it] was never intended to have these lyrics. This is the only other time I saw Zappa aggressively put on his 'producer's hat' and assert his will on Don. The original title to this song was 'My Business Is the Truth, Your Business Is a Lie'."[22]
So Frank’s friend Captain Beefheart is making an album, and Zappa is helping him, and he usually just lets Beefheart do whatever the fuck he wants. But he has an idea for a poopy joke, and he puts his foot down? “It HAS to be Old Fart At Play, Don.” What the fuck was this assholes problem?

WHY 
https://youtu.be/ZTAS-Zv7vf8
^ Good example of what I'm referring to
Roy Bookbinder was taught this style from imo the greatest ragtime guitarist ever, The Blind Reverend Gary Davis. Born in Gray Court South Carolina around the turn of the century, he was playing outside his mother's house one morning and heard music coming up the street, it caught his attention and he yelled to his mother asking her what the music was coming from.. she told him it was a "dirty old guitar player picking a blue"
He heard two songs that morning, "Candyman" and "cocaine blues"
https://youtu.be/hlQZwHcBqyQ
https://youtu.be/f1RIoalqKgw
From that day forth he was gripped by the music, His grandmother got him a guitar and he began to turn himself into one of the greatest blues legends ever. The Term "old fashion pickin'" was coined by him and referred to finger picking songs that alternate the bass note that originate well before 1900.
I've recently gotten into the blues and I'm enamored with this style of playing, something about it is so humble, nostalgic, and rooted to what music "used" to be.
What are your thoughts about all this? What's some relatively high bpm (160+) modern trap music? Some examples:
Bladee -- Trash Star -- 178
Bladee -- Sleep Walk to the Jeweler -- 162
Juice WRLD -- Lucid Dreams -- 168
Juice WRLD -- All Girls are the Same -- 162
Use this to figure it out (if you have decent rhythm)

An interesting article. Thoughts? personality meme thread again cos these r very fun
do not lazypost Need some good *core edm recommendations. Hardcore, breakcore, lolicore, whatever, just want some nice stuff to listen to. It’s better to burn out than fade away What’s the connection between Italian American culture and rat pack music and 50s-60s music? There seems to be enough of a cultural connection to feel obliged to enjoy this music to this very day. I understand the rat pack because musicians like Frank Sinatra, Louis Primo, Dean Martin etc. represented the italians in the American music realm, but why oldies?
My guess would be because of missing the days where the mafia ruled the streets and you could permanently disfigure someone/they would disappear and nobody would do a thing about it (because mafia). But maybe I’m looking at this from the wrong angle. What would be the real reason? This song bangs :) check it out
