Middle eastern pop, and the music videos that go along with them rock my freakin' socks off.
That said, "lite" jazz a la Kenny G and his ilk make me want to puke. On their mouthpieces. Before a sold-out show at the 'Garden.

I wasn't talking about all middle eastern music. Only the stuff my neighbor plays. It sounds to me like atonal wailing with kazoos in the background.Rabid Garfunkel wrote:Blasphemy!sdurand wrote:None of selections provided represent the worst music on earth.

Here's my beef with lite jazz. It's almost like it's a type of music created mainly for the ease with which can ignore it, you know what I mean? It's the equivalent of white noise, something you just put on in the background so that there's something in the background.Rabid Garfunkel wrote:That said, "lite" jazz a la Kenny G and his ilk make me want to puke.

My goal as a musician is to make the best damn background music possible. I'm well on my way.

Well the song in question was made a year before it was used for the commerical. The director guy found it on mp3.com (back when it used to be a site for unsigned and underground artists) and used it, and then sent me the check. The truth is, I didn't have a choice in the matter. He could have used it and I never would have known, I was just lucky he was an honorable guy.Puce wrote:Did you contravene your moral and musical integrity to make that $300?

From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style.

A lot of people seem to think they are ... also - when people start to sell, from what I can tell, they tend to sell out a bit just to please the public or rile them up just so they keep selling ... that's just my opinion though.tviyh wrote:"selling" and "selling out" are definitely not synonymous.
