I do think it's got some quality comic timing and samples (think the "thkweeve thum twiggerth" is from Blazing Squad), but then you don't really like funny music I seem to remember. If however you appreciate the Wrong Music stuff (which you don't) it's quite enjoyable.UFO over easy wrote:it's a very boring kind of tastefulness though, no? and it's been done a billion times, albeit not at that tempo, and way better

TasteLESSness Ben

you're right about the comedy thing though, well remembered. I don't think the overtly referential is a particularly good basis for anything really, and especially music. It immediately devalues itself by drawing your attention away from what you're listening to - music whose sole purpose is to be a bit jolly and make you giggle at stuff that happened before could never be a stable basis for any scene, let alone a scene which is supposed to be fwd looking.
I think I flogged this record at the record and tape exchange recently


I think that all music has a certain ridiculousness at points (trance's pomposity, techstep's eviller than thou attitude, rap's endless macho posturing) and it''s sometimes interesting to see how extreme you can go with accentuating that. Plus I can't think of any particularly fwd thinking music at present that isn't taking something from something that went before (that includes you dubstep) so whether it's done in a spirit of homage or ripping the piss out of it it doesn't really add anything new.UFO over easy wrote: you're right about the comedy thing though, well remembered.

Always find it strange how music that makes you laugh is always seen as somehow lesser than something that makes you feel melancholic, if we compared music to people, I'd rather hang out with the former than the latter.
Anyway, each to their own Ben, don't think either of us is going to shift on this one.

it's the extent to which you look back though. with the referential comedy stuff, the entire point of the music is to look back at what's happened before and direct the listeners attention away from what's being listened to. listen to a shitmat tune and you'll be thinking as much of the early 90s as you will be of his tunes. to me that's the difference between taking influence from something and just ripping it for cheap laughs

I like cheap laughs though Ben.
And plus if you change your paragraph to
with the referential reggae influenced dubstep, the entire point of the music is to look back at what's happened before and direct the listeners attention away from what's being listened to. listen to a **** tune and you'll be thinking as much of 70's reggae as you will be of his tunes.
Just using as an example of course, but lots of more serious music is riding the coat-tails of what's gone before, and is in it's own way as preposterous as the more straight up comedy stuff, due to the lack of knowledge about where the original came from, and being framed in a completely different context to which it originally appeared.
I mean, Shitmat takes ragga jungle samples and mashes them up to poke fun at the cliches, other people use them to give them an authenticity which they lack - in all honesty, I'd go as far as to say that Shitmat might well be using them in a more honest context than the serious artist trying to give his music soul via proxy material.

so what you're saying is if you had to choose between rubbish and honest, and rubbish and dishonest, you'd choose rubbish and honest?Shonky wrote:I mean, Shitmat takes ragga jungle samples and mashes them up to poke fun at the cliches, other people use them to give them an authenticity which they lack - in all honesty, I'd go as far as to say that Shitmat might well be using them in a more honest context than the serious artist trying to give his music soul via proxy material.
I'd rather have neither

Maybe all this cynicism has lowered your standards shonks

Who said either were rubbish? I can think of loads of po-faced, serious, soulless yet aesthetically pleasing stuff that doesn't touch me in the slightest (very common in electronic music) - Hawerchuk succeeds in making me laugh (which he set out to do), most of the former just leave me cold and bored (which presumably they didn't) - sound pretty but empty as hell.UFO over easy wrote:so what you're saying is if you had to choose between rubbish and honest, and rubbish and dishonest, you'd choose rubbish and honest?Shonky wrote:I mean, Shitmat takes ragga jungle samples and mashes them up to poke fun at the cliches, other people use them to give them an authenticity which they lack - in all honesty, I'd go as far as to say that Shitmat might well be using them in a more honest context than the serious artist trying to give his music soul via proxy material.

As for lowering standards, I don't have the same tastes as you Ben, and nor would I want to. I don't think you'd play a set that was completely of interest to me, any more than I would you. I think "tastefulness" in itself is rather conformist and dull and probably stops a lot of experimentation because it just introduces new barriers. I'd argue that some of the Wrong Music stuff is effective simply because it doesn't have that herd concept of what's acceptable (and it's not just breakcore and mash-ups, they cover quite a lot of different styles).
Hmm....
