clifford_thornton Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) Medeski, Martin and Wood - whatever they are, I don't care for it. What have you heard? Not trying to bust yer nuts, just curious. I would assume whatever they were doing in the mid- to late-90s. It has been some time, so I can't even recall exactly what was so wrong about them - maybe too cloying and/or schlocky. I can't hit the nails on the head like Jim Sangrey today with the whole vituperative specificity thing...

clifford_thornton Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Meldhau. Ugh. Those photo spreads in the liners of one recent album make him and his bandmates look like a bunch of alterna-rock assholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't hit the nails on the head like Jim Sangrey today with the whole vituperative specificity thing... They've gone way beyond that.

AllenLowe Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 yes - Mehldau and Cleo Laine - 2 people it makes sense to hate - Mehldau in particular has become a precious bore - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I kinda think Mehldau started out that way, and has softened considerably. At least there are no more dissertations in his liner notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
