I'm actually 6"1.

What are you?
Anything taller than 6"1?

Eh?
Well?

Nope, 5'11"

*Looks down*


:cool:

You know what's great? I met a guy who looks a lot like Ed O'Brien from Radiohead... even has the facial hair and height for it

I'm 5"5 at last count

I only really notice the appearance of Tom, Phil and Johnny.

Since were comparing, i'm 5'9.

That's because, despite Ed's commanding 6'5" height over everyone, nobody notices the subtle stuff he adds to the music

Like the glockenspiel.

[QUOTE=Refl]Like the glockenspiel.[/QUOTE]
Or his crazy guitar filler on "TNA" and his consistent rhythm playing.

Ive cut all my hair off.

Right that's enough avatar changing.

You will see in order: Napalm Death (The Tounge like Heart thing), Death - the Skelleton with a cup, Nobuo Uematsu - The grinning Chinese bloke in a cordroy jumper, Hank Williams - The bloke wearing a cowboy hat and finally, Mike Patton - The Black And White photo of a guy crouching,

I guess there is.

So, we now have Napster Light where you pay 79p for each track you download. Only thing is, my Dad hasn't put his credit card details into it yet so I can't use it :(

If i pay for music I buy a CD.

If i want to steal music, I download it.

it's 9/11 today :eek:

ok, this is the first 'real' post of today (sorry for triple post)


I bought a new Hadag Nachash (Snakefish) CD two weeks ago, and listened to it for the first time this week.

It's a really good CD, but it's considerably different from their first CD (they have three, of which I now have the first two). I've heard stuff from their newest album (released last year), and it's much more sort of traditional hip hop, in terms of the music. In contrast, their first album was VERY much a funk affair, with some great wah guitar and bass, horns, the whole bit. And funk lends itself very well to rapping, so there was some great lines and rhymes in the vocal part as well as the funkay music.

LaZuz (the album i recently got, and their second album) is very much a transition from the 'funky' Nachash to the more hip-hopy Nachash. As a result, there is much less of a funk feel to the music. In fact, whereas you could call Ha Mechonat Shel Ha Groove (their first album) proper funk, in terms of the music, LaZuz's music is most correctly labeled 'funk-influenced'. There is definately more of the 'traditional' western hip-hop influence in the music, but it's still great music, as it's real instruments playing, not some synth and a drum machine.

Hadag Nachash:

A seven piece funk/hip-hop Israeli band (the seven members being a vocalist, guitarist, bassist, saxophonist, keyboardist, drummer and DJ). They are very popular in Israel, where currently there is a huge rise in Israeli hip hop, and are popular amongst Jews outside of Israel.

I'll give you a quick lowdown on the Israeli hip hop culture at the moment.

The leaders of the Israeli hip hop wave are a group that call themselves 'T.A.C.T.', which stand for Tel Aviv City Team. They consider themselves 'Israeli Hip-Hop Architects'. T.A.C.T. is a collective of hip hop artists and producers, mostly from the Tel Aviv area. T.A.C.T. was started by Israel's first mainstream hip hop group, Subliminal and the Shadow.

T.A.C.T. share something common, apart from their love of performing/producing rap: a very right wing political view. T.A.C.T. songs tend to be either about the traditional hip hop subjects - gettin' it on with the laydeez and saying how 'real' they are - or about the politics of Israel. Subliminal and the Shadow, the leading group of T.A.C.T., have songs such as the thinly disguised 'The evil in our land', an obvious anti-Palestinian song.

Whereas the T.A.C.T. artists tend to rap about Israel during their songs in a right-wing, international perspective sort of way, Hadag Nachash are an entirely kettle of fish, ahah, entirely.

Hadag Nachash, being heavly influenced by reggae and Ethiopian music, have a fair few songs about drugs, but, also an influence of reggae and Ethiopian music, Hadag Nachash, when singing (rapping) about Israel, tend to rap about the social problems that are rife in Israel. It is unfortunate that the Israel government for the last few decades have used the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinians to detract the Israeli population from the huge problems in the country.

Hadag have tried to bring these problems into prominence through their music, and to some degree have been succesful, especially as many jews outside of israel did not previously realise the underhanded tactics that the government have been using to avoid having to deal with these problems.

Hadag also have songs criticising the Israeli Government - one that springs to mind is called 'Trumpeldor' on their first album. Trumpeldor was an Israeli army general who fought in the independence war. He was wounded, but refused to be taken to hospital, spewing some jingoistic patriotic crap about how you should die for your country, and then went back to fight - and wound up dead. Ironic choice of title, no?

Another song on the first album is called 'Avaryan' - meaning 'Criminal'. You've heard of the expressions, a 'blue-collar criminal' and a 'white-collar criminal'? Well, in this song, the lead singer describes himself as a 'blue-white collar criminal' - a reference, of course, to the Israeli flag. Whether this is a critique of the government, or a critique of how Israel is viewed by the world, is unclear.

Unsurprisingly, Hadag have exchanged words with T.A.C.T., and seem to be mocking Subliminal in their song, 'Gabby v'Debbie' (Gabby and Debbie).

Tis is interesting, other cultures and their music scene, no?

lol

Yeah, that was the only part I read too

I fail to see the need for a DJ in any band.

Most of Gur's posts entail how he feels empathy if someone is seeing an artist he doesn't like.


My space bar is a bit broke, you have to twat it really hard to get it working.
