This post was inspired by a comment on the Brokencyde post I made a few months back. Dude who calls himself Fizz said,
God – spare me the hate spewing “critics”! This music is not about listening to seasoned professional musicians. It’s about these young guys who put sounds together with a keyboard and computer and came up with something cool. It’s about dance beats, trash talking and having a good time. It’s raunchy, sexual, I’m sure it’s making parents toes curl around the world, AND it’s leaving people like you scratching your head saying “wtf?”. Sounds to me like a recipe for success. The next generation is ready to embrace “their” shocker. Posts like this only helps to solidify that perception.
The video obviously sucked. What to you expect from a zero budget production put together by students? I don’t think anyone’s claiming it to be “MTV worthy”. It was done for the experience, for the fans, and frankly, just for the hell of it.
Let’s just call this my “rebuttle.”
There are TONS of artists, “young guys” included, who do exactly what you claim these guys are doing, only they like, do it well. This just sucks, and anyone who is a fan of it has seriously bad taste in music. Normally, I’m all for respecting music that kinda falls short of a noble artistic vision, but that is ONLY if the tunes exhibit TALENT and are not simply poor attempts at regurgitating shit that nobody should’ve made i the first place. Brokencyde = garbage. This dude = golden. Without further ado, I bring you John LaJoie:
Thank you, and goodnight.
C-fucking-4
P.S. sorry for being SO unbelievably absent. I’ll be back in LA in a few short weeks and back on the ball with tons of new shit that I promise you’ll love. Think: bluegrass from St. Louis complete with washboard bass, pork rinds, and gallons of whiskey, as well as a little band from the middle of nowhere that sounds like Jerry Lee Lewis meets The Minutemen, if Daniel Johnston sang for ‘em. Stay tuned.
