P.I.M.P may have deplorable subject matter, but its a great tune.
Most of my freinds arent into the kind of music i like anyway, so we kinda club together around things that i find some mild level of enjoyment in. |

I totally agree with this, all of my friends that like hip-hop, only listen to hip-hop. They usually question the fact that i enjoy listening to guitar music or anything that isnt hip hop for that matter. |

i used to think that if someone didnt like the music i liked then i wouldnt like them but this i have discovered to be very stupid. all music has its place and i dont really have an album tester to speak of.

One's friends are not everyone's friends, though. Just because your friends are musically narrow minded, it doesn't mean that anyone else's friends are the same way. Again, the same can be easily said of a huge chunk of people into rock music. I find a lot of posters on here terribly narrow minded, when it comes to music.

Anyone who doesn't enjoy at least one song on this magnum opus has ears of cloth, and smells of Marmite.

If my friends don't like Earth 2 or listening to the Merzbox all the way through, I kill them and eat them.

yeah, especially the ones who are into stuff I've never heard of and know I wouldn't like.

a fan of TJAMC is a friend of mine although this one works too: one of my wife's friends had a Love & Rockets t-shirt on when I met him. I said "Hi, you're my new best friend". also on the list: any dancehall reggae |

I know I've waffled on about this before, but I have a real problem with the batty-boy murdering lyrics of some dancehall. If someone told me that, for example, T.O.K.'s "Chi Chi Man" had great words, then they'd be on my shit-list forever.

you are totally right, and I cannot respect someone who preaches "one love" in one breath and then turns right around and condones beating / killing gays the next. however, like all genres, you have your good and your bad. personally, I like the rasta stuff more than the music made by gangstas, but Jamaican culture does tend to swing to the extremely homophobic (this is exacerbated by lower standards of education). either way, "rapping" (successfully) at 140 bpm takes skill. PS: I have no idea who/what T.O.K. (or a Chi Chi Man) is. my collection is fairly old. |

no, that's silly, but i have never met a person who didn't like early misfits stuff (danzig era) so if i met someone like that i'd be... intrigued.

rock n roll is world music. ALL music is world music. it is made in the world. "world music" as a genre is a bullshit catch-all for anything not made by white people. It is a dumb term.

I think I was being "tested" a couple weeks ago at a dinner with some of my wife's work acquaintances. They knew I had a rep as a music snob and am opening a record store, so they brought out what they thought was some edgy stuff--old albums by the Roches and an a capella group called the Nylons. I thought I'd barf. But I kept my cool and politely nodded, and murmurred little nothings like, "Hmm. Yes. I see. Really?"

The same occurs in film, where 'World Cinema' refers to any film made outside of Western Europe and the USA. It also gives special emphasis to films that adopt certain native 'folk' traditions. It's a double-edged sword. It promotes a nation's films but imposes constraints on the types of films that are produced. Many countries churn out pseudo-folk films to satisfy a Western idea of what that nation 'is'. Most of the big-name directors in 'World Cinema' are far more popular in the West than they are in their own countries. |
