Dirty_habiT Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 What are your favorite songs to listen to and why? What were they when you were at a different spot in life? This one reminds me of my grandpa, the Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard version is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 For the most part I still listen to things I was into in my teen years with the exception of a few pop punk bands, all ska except for the bosstones, and oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Dope thread idea, not sure if it's supposed to be about stuff you no longer listen to or not, but here goes. The only thing I don't listen to anymore from my youth is thrash punk, arguably Suicidal Tendencies is considered Thrash by some, and I still listen to them but for the most part I can't really listen to an entire thrash album anymore. Dirty Rotten Imbeciles aka DRI, even sharpie'd their logo big on a denim jacket in 7th grade: 7 Seconds, again, thought they were so dope as a kid, now, not so much: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteraven Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 @Mercer Ha! I still listen to 7 Seconds. Walk Together, Rock Together and 99 Red Balloons are classics. I think my tastes have become more varied as I’ve gotten older, but I mostly still listen to the same stuff. Admittedly, I’m more in Podcasts than music and only new shit I’ve really enjoyed is Kanye. Couple songs on the new Nas were good, but think Kanye produced them. New (for me) stuff I’ve enjoyed the last few years... Hank Williams Senior is pretty amazing, especially for its time and context and impact on music in general and enjoy Johnny Cash when driving. Also the Beatles and the Doors, which I wasn’t into as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misteraven Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Some very classic old Miami Bass shit... Was a sort of low budget mix tape series you could buy at one of the flea markets in Miami. You could tell them the name of your crew and shit and they'd shout you out on a remixed version of the mix tape you'd buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALIgula Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 For the longest ever i listened to Hip Hop music. Seriously from 1988 until about 2003 that's pretty much the only thing i listened to. I still listen to some obscurely underground shit now, but in general now rap sucks fat donky dick. So more than likely, you'll see me watching one of these commercials on tv and seriously considering making a purchase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe we have known each other for so long and this hasn’t come up. Big Ace use to come through my home town selling cds out of his trunk to my brother for him to sell at his stereo shop. People would lose their shit over it. The way they would play a song, turn it down, freestyle and then bring it back up...They mixed it like you were in a car with a knob radio. There’s so much I love about how Lo-fi it was and how they made it work for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been thinking a lot about this and I’m wondering if maybe we are all using bad terminology. Is what we here today rap at all? Or to say that it’s rap but it falls into another genre. I’m slow to forming this thought but maybe we should stop referring to what is coming out today as rap or hip hop. Or maybe we need to label it otherwise like in rock or country. Country music for instance. You’ve got classic country, western, bluegrass, folk, outlaw, etc etc. there are plenty of people that love outlaw country that would happily tell bluegrass to go fuck itself. We want to just call it rap, and it’s now gotten to the point where it’s more complex than that. Whatever this is, needs to break into its own genre.

You know, hearing this especially and interacting with you the way we’ve been this last couple weeks, has sealed the deal for me on how shitty social media is. We’ve probably talked more and learned more in these last few weeks than we did in most of the last decade. Sucks it took so long to realize what this forum could be again and to work to bring it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they did have sub genres like trap and mumble rap, etc... Not sure since I don’t really listen to any of it. @psm026needs to step back in since he’s living in Houston, driving a caddy and still bumping the latest ignorant shit.

Dirty_habiT Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 I just rolled through Houston last weekend and had lunch at El Tiempo (it was very good). I'm glad there's a discussion about this, above someone said they weren't sure what the subject meant. I meant what did the "old you" listen to? People have been nailing it pretty good so far. I think a lot of what "the kids" are listening to today is trash and it makes me feel old and out of touch. I'll be 36 next month so i'm not so crusty that I should be feeling like this about newer music. I think people in general, artists included, are getting lazy. Like the movie idiocracy.

earmuffs Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Still listen to the same shit from high school. I finally got got to see the queers play and half way through I got a text of a picture of positive pregnancy test. I didn’t let that ruin my night.

Eating El Tiempo that was catered for a work meeting as we speak. I can see how easy it is to get fat once I moved to Houston. Used to love the Mars Volta and weird shit like that, now it gives me a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Ditto on the not being able to listen to a lot of the music I used to listen to. Now when I try, a lot of times I'm like what the heck was I thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Judge's Tales from the Tourbus comes on Cinemax, you can get it off apple or whatever. They last episode talks about one of van zandt's close friends - Blaze Foley Cocaine and Rhinestones https://cocaineandrhinestones.com/ It's all country music but not so much outlaw. everything super well researched and its done by David Allen Coe's son - Tyler. the one about Spade Cooley is pretty graphic and shows what a shit bag a person can really be and how accepting the public can be. Merle Haggard - for something a bit more Outlaw based - https://cocaineandrhinestones.com/merle-haggard-okie-from-muskogee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggity Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 @Dirty_habiT - I forgot about this one. Otis Gibbs Some really really great ones in here and it doesnt just stick to Country Music. http://otisgibbs.com/category/podcast/ the Chet Atkins one is pretty good but theres a ton of great stuff here. http://otisgibbs.com/episode-120-chet-atkins-stories/ @misteravenor any graphic design nerd - might be interested in this one about the artwork for the Sgt.

mn1_fuckos Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I am unashamed of still having this on my playlist. It reminds me of summer days watching the box at 9 years old because we didnt have cable. @Dirty_habiTI have been on a country kick for a couple years now. Ive been listening to tons of outlaw country people tend to find it a bit strange because well Im a city dweller who grew in the hood ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been a city slicker but I've also had family that has owned land in Texas my whole life so I feel like it's still in my roots.... kinda.

GnomeToys Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Since I never went into detail figuring out rap sub-genres, just listened to what I felt like, what is something like this classified as? Run The Jewels -- Meowpurrdy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L-FocAog0w As far as old songs, this usually works if I'm pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
