Hell yeah, fats!!! I simply love this. I don't know why, but I sort of thought that besides Tupik there isn't anybody else on the Cats boards who listens to artists like Blackalicious, Mos Def, Jurassic 5 etc.
I'm pretty much stuck in the past music wise. I'm mostly a 90s, 80s hip hop listener, yet I pretty much can listen to anything from back in the way. Whether it's rock (The Doors, The Beatles), jazz (Miles Davis, John Coltrane), funk (Parliament, James Brown), soul (Isaac Hayes, The Isley Brothers) or even pop. I just love how goofy and sloppy 80s pop music is and I mean that in a good way. I guess I'm one of those ignorant people who thinks that musicians nowadays have no talent whatsoever. Well, at least the mainstream ones.
Off to Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive" and Van Halen's "Jump".
It's a shame because there are a lot of excellent bands nowadays, you just have to stay away from all that bull on tv/radio. Brand New, At the Drive-In, The Tallest Man on Earth, Youth Lagoon, shels, The Dear Hunter, Defeater, Yindi Halda... oh and Radiohead of course... I could go on and on, and I'm not even talking about hip-hop here. Of course the late 60s, 70s, 90s and to a lesser extent the 80s have some amazing bands, but that shouldn't detract you from all the great ones there are today.
I know you have great taste in music, so you should definitely check out some contemporary bands, there is a lot of amazing stuff out there.
Also, this is my jam right now, any fans ?
