This one is strong in the force, or how else would he know a sith warrior's only weakness is against club music....

Now, before anyone takes offense to this, just remember, these guys are awesome. They do what they do to have fun and make people laugh. With that in mind...it's ok to laugh.

OMG HELL YEAH!! URBAN DANCE SQUAD!!!!!!!
Lol I had all but forgotten about that song! Man that takes me back, always loved that song. It so personified the skater culture. /ollie kickflip-smash to the groin
And speaking of taking you back, General Public.. nuff said. lol
Oh and on a sidenote, in case you weren't aware, the lead singer of men at work Colin Hay has a thriving solo career at the moment. His work is actually pretty good. Check it..
I know this music eventually evolved into the 90's pop/punk/rock sounds, but man, I was in high school listening to this...still takes me back....What the hell happened to music?? Its just so dulled down/ diluted...it was raw back then...
I must just be getting old...and grumpy (no offense Mondo ) ...hehe

I agree completely. I don't really subscribe to labels but almost all of the really good music these days are what would've fallen into the "Indie" category. What the heck happened to the diversity??
And as far as I'm concerned the overproduced R&B light crap that seems to be so popular in the charts these days isn't even music imho. You know that "we'll produce the music and /place cardboard cut-out singer here" style of music. I can't stand it!
It's been my experience that REALLY good music comes in five to ten year cycles. The lulls being when the record companies try to assert control and make more money for themselves instead of the artists. The highs being when the fans get tired of the overproduced mediocre crap and rebel and subsequently dictate to the hotshot record company execs that they better start signing some artists with true talent and but quick.
I predict it will cycle back relatively soon to the kind of music that had profundity and could actually be considered poetry.

Man, you gotta get out of my brain!!! hehe
I have been djing for 12 years...averaging 5 shows a week over that span. I really think what you just posted is 100% accurate. I'll go one further. All this "hyper forced music" started at the end of the millenium. It was when Napster exploded on the music industry...you had Lars Ulrich in "panic" mode, along with all the record industry giants. The weird thing is, that that "panic" paralleled the pandemic of "reality tv"...(/scold The Real World/Blair Witch)
I'm more amazed that they kind of suceeded. You beat people with "new music" enough, they start going...."YEAH, I only like new music" (I call it my "sheep herding" theory). In 2000, people of all ages requested all types of music, everyone was happy. Nowdays, if I'm at a club with young people, all they want to hear is the most brand brand brand new songs. Its frustrating to see young people manipulated that way...(music industry): Here...go on I-Tunes and give us a dollar for this song...now...because we're playing it again in a 1/2 hour to remind you!! Be cool, get the new stuff, screw the old". Man, that is about as shallow as you can get!
It'll change, though. In the 60's you had a really revolutional "Hippie/drug/ counter-culture"...that gave way to "the monkees" (I actually still like the monkees though)...The 70's had Funk/Disco give way to the fuggen Village People (ugh)...The 80's was so diverse, only Glam Rock gave way to uncontrolled corny ballads (see Warrant/Whitesnake/Winger). The 90's Grunge/pop punk, gave way to them trying to find anyone to make a weird MTV video with (see Catherine Wheel)...It'll happen...I just hope the youth of America (not sure how it is in the rest of the Earf'), would just put up that big "middle finger" to the music industry, and take back music for themselves...
Its long overdue...

This friend of mine is a very good DJ, while he doesn't really do it for a living.
He has very clear opinions and I judge him very knowledgeable in his area. No, really, he knows A LOT. He's mostly doing rock, punk, some hip hop and things that go off in other directions from there. I'll be posting a couple of things he posts from time to time. He really takes out quite the gems sometimes and chances are he knows a lot of things you don't know yet.

DJ LEWG'S MUSICAL POST FOR THE DAY!! 12-20-10
: : : ::on-air light switches red:: : : :
So I was having a conversation with a fellow DJ about the quality of musical artistry and how it has declined so much in this day and age. Some amorphous cloud has settled over the music industry that is intent on stamping out any originality. Our theory is that it is "the machine" attempting once again to exert control over the evolution of music to suit their own ends.
So to keep the idea fresh in our minds what true originality and artistry of song can be like let's go back in time to when the fans dictated what the music industry played.
I'd like to start this out with a little tribute to a musical legend.. Peter Murphy, lead singer of Bauhaus.
