AllenLowe Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 well, a few years ago I was discussing the bebop era with someone - and we figured out that virtually every great musician of that era was a junkie of some kind - so there may be something to that - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 i also don't care. i am entitled to my opinion. which is that they are a load of dumpage. i need them telling me what i should be listening to as much as i needed thurston moore telling me years ago. Thurston at least had more sense of humor about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 but do i need moore telling me that marzette watts was a "soulful black cat?" Why take everything personally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) (& again, if iverson covered harmonia, kluster, parson sound, even early caravan-- anything an american would find even a little esoteric... it might still suck but at least you'd KNOW it wasn't for shock/kitsch value, despite his weak-ass protestations.) I'd shit if anyone covered "Sov Gott Rose-Marie"... Thurston's a goofball, enthused and sometimes over-enthused, but he's probably done more good than harm in the long run. I mean, he wasn't just mindlessly touting the Alabama Feeling LP, but reissued it on CD a few years after that Grand Royal article and put out/bankrolled some of Doyle's other recordings on Ecstatic Peace and other labels. I mean, not that Doyle's the greatest player on earth but you gotta respect Moore's helpful enthusiasm. He did a lot of cool shit with that DGC A&R bonus, I'll tell you that much...

Hoppy T. Frog Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 DGC...very underrated record label sort of! I see a truckload of "Beavis and Butthead Experience" cut-outs that say otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
