Music you know nothing about...

skellywager [Edit] [Delete] 40 replies 19:56 March 18th, 2013

Bass music or High Energy Bass.
My friend is playing Bangface in London on Friday night and I realise I know nothing about this kind of music and it's hard to get into.

I've been wanting to get into blues.

- this isn't exactly Blus.
  
  at all, in fact. it's 20's beat poetry - it's got blues in it, jazz, gospel......I think you might like it

  - Yes, exactly stuff like this.
    
    I just need a big playlist/comp to skim through and see what stuff I like and go on from there, I guess.

- John Lee Hooker
  
  Always satisfies my blues vibe when I get the urge. He's got a wicked kinda groovy boogie style of playing the stright up blues style even when its him just on accoustic guitar that it adds a nice energy to it.

- Jazz finally clicked for me a few years back
  
  when, like a lot of people I guess, I listened to Kind of Blue for the first time. It's subsequently led me down a lot of interesting rabbit holes. I still know next to feck all about it myself, but I'm starting to know what I like.

  - I've done the listening to Kind of Blue thing
    
    I like it and mean to explore more jazz but just as I was about to I got distracted by electronica (which I hadn't listened to much of at that point). Generally I get obsessed with one other genre to go along with my standard diet of indie, pop, rock and folk. It has variously been hip hop, classical and metal. Funk and jazz are in the back of my mind, who knows when the mood will take me.

      - Listening to John Coltrane has been one of the best decisions I've ever made
        
        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsxZuPXNGnU - The Love Supreme record (part 2, Resolution in particular - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK-ne6AxAYE) had an effect on me similar to the one people seem to relate to when discussing the first time they heard Loveless or tried peanut butter or something else important...
        
        The way Trane wrote music and arranged his band along with developing his own playing style is completely unique and can be chronicled across so many different albums which range from easy going, utterly beautiful and melodious standards (Soul Trane & Blue Train) to batshit free jazz noise jamming (Om, Ascension). I like his spirituality as well, it goes as a nice side to the authenticity of a lot of his music - he spoke a lot of stuff about trying to 'better his soul through his playing' and what have you. really interesting. mind you, he was doped to the eye balls by that point.
        
        great guy.
        
        anyway, hearing Resolution

        the peanut butter thing stands though.

        It's difficult to not sound pretentious when discussing Jazz
        
        Just give him an album to listen to you berk.
