Beanz's musical tastes....

[Beanz]

Stop spamming this thread with awful "music".

You're an old man listening to teenager music, that would explain why you have the mental capacity of a teenager!

@brocktonblockbust I bet Beanz still sports torn up jeans and a "Devil Lock" to feel young BWAHAHAHA

"Loud, aggressive music is good in small doses, but if you indulge too much it will rot your brain, corrupt your palate and turn you into a lazy communist (especially if you listen to too much punk rock)."



That is what you said and so I was merely responding to that. I know you may want to appear sophisticated like Lyle and your fellow alt right hipsters but as you get older you realise that it matters very little what other people think about you. Here you are posting stuff from the 1950's and castigating me for listening to something that not only did I grow up listening, to but something that i grew up playing. Only last year I covered the Clash track that I posted on here and everyone else in that band was at least 5 years older than me, but guess what? it doesn't matter. Who said you had to sell your principles and wear slippers when you get older ?. That is bollocks that old conservative farts like you, old before their time, insist you have to do to fit in. Well I never fitted in mate and that is why I am successful doing what I do. It has given me opportunities and friendships that are priceless and worth more than all the qualifications and money I have ever earned.

I get to do what I love every day and have never stopped learning because of it. The ethos of Punk is to Do It Yourself and that applies to anything whether you are a chippy, actor, musician, filmmaker, whatever..stop pontificating and do it. Why the binary rubbish ? Most of the other Americans on here are nothing like you. Did it never cross your mind that people might like Charlie Mingus AND The Sex Pistols ?

Corrupt your palate ?

You don't get very far if you are lazy whether you are a musician or laborer the principle is the same you get your head down and work hard at whatever you do, but don't stand still and never stop learning even if that is ideas from people younger than you.

Come on Beanz, who are you trying to peddle that clap trap to? The ethos of punk rock was to play music even though you can't play your instrument (like Sid Vicious), and channel your teenage angst into ill-thought lyrics because you're too young to know anything about how the world works.

People usually grow out of that shit and learn how to channel their energy into something productive! Not just listen to loud music and call everyone a Nazi or a Fascist.

Punk rock is a young person's game and when an adult clings so vehemently to it, he's desperately trying to cling to a long-passed time when he didn't have to use his brain. This person does not want to evolve. It's very sad. You're like a pensioner going to a high school party There's nothing sadder than an old punk.

[El Kabong]

Well there IS a punk rock tune that accurately defines what is happening in places like UC Berkeley and it goes a lil something like this....






....basically a song for middle class white kids who are wishing for something they can rebel against and their mommy and daddy's don't care about them, but their professors, they help them riot against wrongthinkers.

Really? God I would despair If I thought you were representative of your generation.

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

Are you Jon Hanser? I'll just ask once vidgil

[brocktonblockbust]

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?

[Beanz]

Wouldn't want to ruin your palate

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.

[Gandalf]

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.

[TitoFan]

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!!

[p4pking]

I've thought for a long time that Mingus is second only to Duke Ellington as a jazz composer and band leader to have recorded anything outside of classical music if not anything period. He has several really incredible albums, I've always had a soft spot for these two tunes though.
