Charlie Mingus

[vidgil]

Oh wow someone posted the documentary on Vimeo. This is a cool little watch, 60 mins cinema verite style. Mingus is a mad man, he's getting kicked out of his apartment, he's talking about the mafia killing Kennedy, and he's firing off his rifle in his apartment hahaha

I will say though without the slightest nuance of pretentiousness that to see those clash and sex pistols videos in a thread about Charles Mingus ---that great man Charles Mingus--- approaches blasphemy!

BWAHAHA!

What are you some kind of musical fundamentalist? You going to tell us what we can read and when and where it is appropriate to read it next?

You always resort to extreme analyses of what people say. I didn't say you did or did not have the right to listen to whatever music you want. I am just making my own opinion known that the sex pistols and The Clash are absolute jackshit compared to Charles Mingus.

Nonsense Brock. Critics and fans alike class London Calling as one of the greatest albums of all time. It is some of the best rock and roll in music history. Never Mind the Bollocks is more flawed, but God Save the Queen is one of the most spine tingling 3 minutes of rock ever made. It is beautiful, angry and imbued with meaning.

Now if you were to call out Justin Beiber or Miley Cyrus you might have a point, but you are picking on some of the most meaningful, tuneful, zeitgeist capturing moments in music history.

Oh great..... another music thread!


This seems to bring out the best/worst in people.

Me, I love most all music. Well..... that's not really true. Some genres just don't float my boat.

Examples:

Rap
Punk rock
Thrash metal
Bachata
Most folk music
Cumbia
Opera music



But jazz..... I love jazz!!
