19 years of the most unfavorable comments I've ever seen on RP. Way past time to remove this from the playlist. (Please...)

What rubbish! Just awful. I HAD to sign in to diss this piece of shitwork, worthy of a negative rating, I just can’t imagine the studio time involved in producing such utter garbage, thinking, “oo! Yes! This sounds GREAT!!”  🙄 
Sounds shallow and opportunistic to me. Make your own music, GHP.

There are a lot of parasites who attempt to seem creative by monkeying around with Beatles' classics. Leave the Beatles alone, go create your own music!

wooo a mashup
i think most mashups breath new life into an old song & sometimes introduces a new crowd to a often forgotten classic (pretty sure everyone has heard these songs tho)
Posted 4 months ago by dischuckin    [ Reply ]
I won't have an appetite for this more than once or twice - but it's an interesting enough mash-up to attract my attention. 5 from me. Better for having heard it.

Is an aberration, like other similar experiments and attempts.  And, while not wanting to be blunt, is a waste of time in radio when there are so many songs and artists (worthy of the name!) that are on the shelf ....... a contradiction or lack of clarity (or the DJ is vacation)

My first response was... What the heck? Then once I realized what it was I thought, hey cool. Next, I found the song grew more and more annoying by the minute. Particularly some aspect of the percussion I found grating. It DID get my undivided attention, but not in a good way. This song got me wanting to comment, so I joined.  Generally I have been recommending this station to all my students, I use it for "background" music before class, and quite often a student will say "hey I love this song" and I get coolness points as a professor.

WTF?  How can anyone deny the impact that the Beatles have had on modern music?  You can trace a line from every artist to a Beatles song without much effort.  They pretty much invented half the music out for the last 50 years.

That was a jolt! Some mash-ups are monumental and others less so. This one's somewhere in the middle. Nonetheless, quite an imagination to even think of putting these two (plus a snippet from "Walrus") together.

This combination doesn't do justice either of the components.

Nice work pulling an acappella out of Day In The Life though.  That's not easy!

I'll give it a 1 for inspiration and a 7 for craftsmanship, averaging to 4.

Posted 15 years ago by avidfan    [ Reply ]
I am thinking that most people are just having a hard time wrapping their brains around this, you hear the music and expect Karma, you hear the vocals and think Day in the Life...

it's certainly befuddling and lifts itself out of background music and snaps you to attention.

Once a year would probably allow sufficient time to recover and suppress the memory, yes.

Not much. In fact, that's the problem with so much post modernist art, the standards are in the toilet, or uh urinal. Now when Marcel Duchamp did the found urinal and put it on a stand, no one had done that before, and that made it interesting. No one had mimeographed Marylin Monroe multiple times on one canvass before in a cartoon style. After the 500th time, I'd say it's time for a moratorium on that kind of junk. In its only defense, I would say it's not painful to listen to, it's merely pedestrian.
 
Making "Art" doesn't necessarily have to be about "Talent" at all.  "Craft" is reliant on talent.  Art is about the communication of ideas.  Duchamp addressed the role of Art in society, and Warhol's work was more about the mass production and consumerism in western culture, which was part of his inspiration for having images silk-screened onto canvas.  I agree that the standards are determined only by a very small number of "Intelligensia", and that is troubling for anyone attempting to succeed as an artist.  There's certainly no need for a "moratorium" on Art; that sounds like Jesse Helms. 
  Anyhow, this "song" was interesting, nothing Earth-shattering; I pretty much agree with your assessment of it.

I have to say this one really doesn't work at all for me. It sounded to me like two songs played over one another with no relation to one another rather than an effective fusion creating a new piece. Sad that it didn't work out considering the quality ingredients used.

Well, OK, but red got a 9.3 and blue got an 8.4. Violet got a 4.2.

Tarquin's sentiment is echoed by Mike Nesmith who, on the back of The Birds, the Bees, and the Monkees album, quotes a poet who wrote,

"Blue is blue and must be that
But yellow is none the worse for it"

The forgotten song on Pink Floyd's TDSOTM is called "Any Colour You Like."

If you were a musical genius I would respect you calling me stupid(me not being a musical genius), but it would not change the fact that I like mash-ups, ambient jazz, and indi hip hop.
