Re: Music talk Thread
the Milli Vanilli doc on Paramount was an interesting watch. i vaguely remember the controversy as a youth, but i never really knew exactly WHY it was controversial, other than they were caught lip syncing which i thought was pretty standard practice at live events.
kinda sad how things ended for them and how they were completely scapegoated, which eventually lead to Rob's death.

Re: Music talk Thread
Oh cool. I mean, that there’s a doc about this… a guy is dead.
Most of pop music is a pretty face with all the work done behind the scenes. Even some rock singers can’t sing for [expletive] without a good engineer on the knobs. Hell, some of Taylor Swift’s isolated vocals sound awful, and her fans will have a bot scanning the web so that I can be murdered tonight for saying so—goodbye.
It’s like being mad at one guy for roids in the 00s.
I’ll check it out. I still have Paramount somehow though I haven’t paid in over a year. I love music docs and 90s docs and I have a propensity to blame all my problems on the rain.
ETA: watched it. We were way too hard on those guys. I feel like Fab wasn’t taking full ownership of it all, but I agree with the main thrust of everything. Hard to blame him at all anyway. Didn’t realize the Boney M connection. I love watching that Boney M guy cook. I thought the ending with the singing was a great moment.
It really. I genuinely enjoy watching this guy go. The music sucks and it’s all very corny. But I love it.

Re: Music talk Thread
I was really really really hoping all the build up to Andre 3000’s first album since OutKast was a big tease and he’d be spitting fire. But it really is an improvisational flute album with ridiculous but charming song titles.
I guess all us white boys that thought we had great taste were right: he has a true hipster heart.
But we slept on Big Boi. He’s got a ton of great solo stuff. Also his side of the double album was better.

Oh man. Ben Harper’s bassist died a couple years ago. If you go through Harper’s discography, it explodes into life with Fight for Your Mind when Juan Nelson joined.
More bands need to to set the bassist free.

Re: Music talk Thread
Béla Fleck has a new album coming out in February that celebrates the centennial of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." It has three versions of "Rhapsody," a traditional one, a bluegrass one, and a blues one, and has a fantastic set of collaborators. I pre-ordered it today, and I'm very much looking forward to it.
