All I could hear was whinging from the back. "What?" I said. "Don't want rock n roll" came the answer (he's 2 1/2 - I didn't even know he knew the term rock n roll). Apart from 2 x 8 hr days at daycare, I'm with him 24/7. When I do have a moment alone I'm usually to drained to process art so yes I do opt for 'elevator music' or easy listening.

Whenever I have a friend who listens to commercial radio (bleh), and if they're open to listening to real music instead, those are the sorts of things I start them off on. I've converted many now.<br /><br />I would once have included Death Cab for Cutie in that list, but after the horror that was Meet Me on the Equinox and the whole selling out to that horrid Twilight franchise thing, they are dead to me now. I could barely handle the OC crap, but that was the last straw.Puss In Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236191025319308375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-61715387068927780572009-12-10T21:49:41.392+11:002009-12-10T21:49:41.392+11:00Dylan could sing in tune.

I totally agree with Bob on the other variables but was struggling to appreciate that song. I'm still not even sure what its about exactly. I'm happy to try listening to alternate music but usually don't like it much. The only band I ever heard on JJJ I really liked was the Waifs and I liked them instantly. Not that I listen to any radio much.

It is producing something...<em>it is producing rubbish</em><br /><br />It is producing something that some people want to hear.<br /><br />Not every album is supposed to portray somebody's "perfect' singing voice. Music is not just about the voice. It's a mixture of many variables: voice, lyrics, melody, poetry, stories, humour, politics, the interplay of instruments, the emotions, the music.<br /><br />I love Dylan, Billy Bragg, Nick Cave, not because they have great voices - although I agree with Perseus, Cave can certainly sing - but because they deliver great stuff using a variety of the abovementioned things.<br /><br />But I also love Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes or Neko Case or Jim James from My Morning Jacket because of their incredible voices.Lewd Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02482085817373911266noreply@blogger.com
