Music General Music Discussion Catch-All

Christopher Cross would like to thank all the people who took some time away from sailing in order to attend the Delaware State Fair

[Curt McGirt]

I wonder what he's charging since the boat-rock documentary blew up. 

Jodie can sing! She can still speak French too, as that recent movie proved. Wonder why she never did anything on her soundtracks.

pretty sure I had never heard the Low Rider remix of "Pretty Fly" until just now... on a small town classic hits station that's on RadioGarden

and yeah, I guess "Pretty Fly" can qualify for the types of classic hits stations that go through 1999

[odessasteps]

Im amazed what sometimes passes for classic on  en Famine Philly.

I need to know how you have a civil kidnapping trial.  

[Cobra Commander]

if you're very nice about kidnapping someone it's a civil kidnapping

meanwhile I heard about a Dwight Yoakam/ZZ Top concert coming to the KC area soonish and I'm sure that's gonna be a fun evening for the people attending it, it also inspired me to adapt the Blues Brother joke to make it make worse: "We have both kinds of music, County and Southern Rock"

This a pretty good doc, he played all the instrumentation on the track and sings harmony with himself

Got to give props to the YT algorithm today,. 
 

after playing John Barleycorn  Must Die, it gave me Season of the Witch followed by Gallows Pole. Folk horror trifecta.. 

[odessasteps]

Happy Ides of March to those who celebrate.

Dude is so angry about a question his lawyer absolutely should have prepped him for.

I want to say this carefully, so I'm not misunderstood.  If a rapper makes a song about your wife cheating on you with him, and you file a lawsuit saying he defamed you, you should be 100% sure she didn't cheat with him.  Otherwise, you are going to look like a god damned fool.

Between the Afro and the suit he should be a wrestling manager

So, I've fallen down the rabbit hole and I can't fathom how the cops are playing the victim here.  They basically ran up in his house, accused him of selling drugs and kidnapping, found no evidence of either, but took a bunch of money and returned less than they took.  They are suing him because he made a funny rap song about it and claiming the song gave them emotional distress.  Where is Ice Cube when we need him?

John Oliver did a whole piece on the fucked up ness of civil forfeiture laws a few years back

I just found Afroman's YouTube channel and it looks like he has made videos on some of the LEO's that were in his house raid.

Some interesting things those fellows got into.

[Curt McGirt]

What's a LEO? I can't figure it out from Google. 

This is a clear case of cops running up into a house, trying to steal from a dude, failing, and trying again.

I can't post Instagram videos, but there is a long-ass breakdown of all the testimony and they better be happy I'm not on that jury.  The cops keep accusing him of lying about a lot of things that seem to be close enough to true that I don't know how you can say that he intentionally lied.  The money did come back short of what they counted on the scene.  The person who counted it admitted that he had been accused of stealing from traffic stops.  Afroman also calls him and his brother a pdf and his brother was fired from the police force for being a pdf.  The cop is adamant that he has no idea why his brother was fired; apparently, they've never discussed it.  With that said, he might end up owing the female officer some money.  Apparently, they played multiple versions of a song, including a 15-minute slow jam in their entirety, while she was on the stand.  He called that woman "Lieutenant Lick 'em Low Lisa" over and over again until she wept on the stand.  His response, "she wasn't crying when she ran up in my house with an AR-15," and I can't really argue with that.  I can't imagine how traumatic it would be for the cops to kick down your door with semi-automatic rifles and ransack your home for a crime that you did not commit.  It would be much more traumatizing than having a goofy song made about me, I'll tell you that.

Ohio recording trials turns out to be a great move here

[Cobra Commander]

a million views in 12 days likely means you'll hear part of this song until you're sick of it but it's pretty good and if rock still existed, it would be a rock radio hit
