I let my son watch this music video, and now he’s been running around the house acting like a total motherfucker for two hours straight.

Sterile fusion? I'm talking Rypdal, Metheny, Frisell, and that whole crowd...
If you're a fusion fanatic... then there's no point in debating this. I won't engage in my usual one-sided, Dream Theater-style argument. 🙂

(I'll just quote my colleagues from that "lift music for snobs" discotheque 🙂)

Regarding Sapcu, I was thinking more along the lines of whether there's any actual good country-pop out there. When it comes to fusion, I got nervous because we're talking about legends like Zawinul, Pastorius, McLaughlin, or Corea. Though, I do enjoy the fusion styles of Frisell and Costello.

analogharbor442 said:The seven lowest forms of musical expression

1. R&B
2. MTV dancehall/ragga
3. Dirty South turbo-pop
4. Trance-pop
5. Sterile white fusion
6. Fat wreck punk
7. Post-grunge

What's wrong with dirty South turbo-pop?😕

Go ahead then—be a dear and explain to us exactly what "sterile white fusion" is supposed to mean.

It’s absolutely irresistible.🙏

hollowangler68 said:Yeah, New Adventures is actually pretty underrated. It’s fundamentally an excellent album.

But that previous one—the one where I don't even want to utter the title without spitting on the floor—that’s the reason they shouldn't have just broken up, they should have been hauled before a grand jury for producing one of the worst musical disasters in history.

😕 Personally, I think Monster is good.

Laura Long5 said:Hmm. The more I listen, the more I actually dig that "cold" production style—it really suits the songwriting. In fact, I've started thinking that the "Fear of Music" vibe might actually clash with his material. That remaster of "The Wall" sounds fantastic, though.

Finally, a voice of reason regarding Speaking in Tongues.

Alex Rogers91 said:Microsoft! Where on earth is at Lutva located in Philadelphia???!!!!!

Plus, you get served the finest American coffee on the planet, complete with Turkish delight and a cigar!
Idiot...

Hari in Philly, seriously...

Lutva's coffee house holds actual historical significance. There is a certain soul to sitting there, sipping the best coffee paired with Turkish delight while listening to the sound of cold, blue water nearby—though the local burgers are just roadside fare.
Hari is an idiot 🙂

Just a few flaws in Little Creatures, but let's be clear about that.

Susan Clark10 said:Well... I have to say... you've completely lost me now.😬

I just can't tell if my whole dark alternative past would be an issue for someone like anch_iu.😁

Why on earth would that bother him? My wife used to be all about that goth scene, doing drugs, and living on vegan food—now she’s a wonderful mother of two who enjoys jazz and a good steak.

God help us all

My definitive ranking of the top 5 burger joints in the country:

1. The local spot in Savannah
2. That famous grill in Pittsburgh
3. A hidden gem in St. Louis
4. The classic diner in Chicago
5. The roadside shack near Philadelphia

True. Both Branimir and Kurt were absolute legends.

Jazz—to borrow a line from Zappu—isn't dead; it's just stuck in a rut. I have zero interest in wading through eight thousand empty, self-important hacks who achieved cult status simply because they parked their cars two blocks away from Coltrane’s apartment once. I'd much rather stumble upon the occasional solid track.

"Jazz is not dead, ladies 'n gentlemen, it just smells funny"—that was Zappu back in the day. Helge Schneider countered that by saying, "Zappa hatte Unrecht," which is to say Zappu was wrong. And honestly, you should take Helge's word for it, considering he's the mastermind behind that classic line: "You cook and clean and do everything, while I sit here in my armchair and think it's great."

My top 3 acquisitions this year (two on vinyl, one CD):

1. Ghana Soundz—Afrobeat, Funk, and Fusion from 70s Ghana
2. Afro Baby—The Evolution of the Nigerian Afro Sound, 1970-1979
3. World Psychedelic Classics Vol. 3—Love’s a Real Thing / The Funky Fuzzy Sounds of West Africa

BREAKING NEWS!!! BREAKING NEWS!!!
Just so I can briefly address that whole Hives situation. The fact that those new bomb Turks were their opening act... honestly, it’s no different than if Roxette had been the opening band for The Smiths back in the eighties. That's really all there is to it.

My definitive ranking of bands managed by Malcolm McLaren (who was also a total disaster):
1. New York Dolls
2. Adam and the Ants
3. Bow Wow Wow
4. Sex Pistols

Here are a few standout tracks centered on nurses:
-Alternative rock discography
-The White Stripes - The Nurse
-Gregory Isaacs - Night Nurse Dub
-Sonic Youth - Dude Ranch Nurse
-Country Joe McDonald - Thank the Nurse
-Steve Schalchlin - The Preacher and the Nurse

My definitive ranking of the finest individuals on the planet:
1. Skinheads with an affinity for Salif Keita
2. Punks aged 40 and up
3. Mexicans from Canada who actually showed up at the game to root for Canada (specifically those two)
4. Jazz musicians
5. Recovered alcoholics

Here are my two most sensitive rankings (which I’ve been struggling to finalize for months now):
1. the top 20 greatest punk songs
2. the top 20 best jazz albums
