A collection of strange, dark and fascinating music facts that I've stumbled across over the years, including the bewildering origins of some genres of music, and a forgotten musical festival that was extremely innovative (and disastrous) for its time. This is like a "best of" list, and I hope to make many more of them!

The fact that they were scheduled to go on right after the “dream sequence” too. Like, let’s put on the hour-long pitch for capitalist techno-utopia, then get the marxist luddites to perform. 😂

@theneonchimpchannel9095 6 месяцев назад

I'd say that she might have walked back the statement because Casio might have been worried that Bowie's estate might sue if they used his melody. Bowie himself probably wouldn't have cared, but now he's gone and thus no longer has control of his music, those now in charge might want to get an easy payday.

@MikoSquiz 5 месяцев назад

It's funny that she slightly changed the rhythm to make it not exactly the Bowie riff, and landed on being exactly the Sex Pistols riff instead.

I've been collecting records for 30 years, and I'm pretty well versed (despite the well being VERY deep) in most sub genres of American rock, pop, country, funk, soul, 90's hip-hop, etc... but I totally heard new things in this video that I never knew about, and it seems like you have a very good ear for bangin' tracks!

The "US Festival" was way ahead of its time. I'm kind of shocked I've not heard about it before

@Bandsplaining 6 месяцев назад

I know! In this era of music-festivals-gone-wrong documentaries (woodstick 99, fyre fest) you'd think there'd be more interest in US fest. It's not that it was a disaster per say. (I mean, from the perspective of an attendee, it was an incredibly smooth experience.) But the way it predicts the culture wars of today is eerie. You have tech bro optimists budding heads with social justice trolls, while the unabashed hedonists in Valen Halen are just there to party.

Honestly I am shocked there is not a popular way to stream unplayed songs on Spotify. Finding hidden music is a goal of both the app and its customers. Even playing one every 50 songs would not go amiss if it could find even a single hit.

@blutryforce762 6 месяцев назад

The Casio preset does sound similar to the David Bowie song, but I don't think it's an exact match. But Okuda Hiroko claiming she didn't base the preset off anything does kind of remind me of Mario and Zelda composer Koji Kondo, who was heavily inspired from the music he listened to at the time for those games, which was mostly Prog Rock and Jazz Fusion. This has gotten some people to call him a plagiarist (which I disagree with), though admittedly some of his compositions do sound really similar were they could border on plagiarism. (see Sister Marian by T-Square and the Super Mario Bros. Overworld theme or the first 3 minutes of April by Deep Purple and the Zelda 1 Dungeon theme.)

@OrgaNik_Music 6 месяцев назад

She might not have consciously based the preset on anything specific, but of course we get inspired by everything we hear, whether we even notice it or not. And there's nothing wrong with that either, that's how things have always worked.

Memphis rap is a fascinating genre, it shares some weird similarities with black metal of all things: occult aesthetic, agressive primitivism, secrecy among the artists etc. The whole scene looks and sounds like something made up for a gritty cyberpunk dystopian movie.

In Filing/Archiving Sciences, there is the 20/80 rule. It's a natural rule for every archive, collection, etc.: in any library, 80% of the materials are consulted and 20% aren't. We don't know why, but it is a fact in every library, archive, etc. in human history. It's not specific to Spotify. And, if you remove the ones that are not used. 20% of the total left will stop being consulted. Instead of removing, we should add more items; then, so of those unconsulted items will start being used. Seriously: this is how it works and it has been studied long before digital media came to exist.

Oh, and Strummer was educated at a boarding school in Switzerland, so of course he's the one blathering on about class warfare.

@ingridfong-daley5899 4 месяца назад

The David Bowie lick is not the same pitches as the reggae beat: his is do-do-do-sol-fa (scale degrees 1-5-4) and the reggae pattern is do-do-do-fa-mi (scale degrees 1-4-3). They use the same rhythmic pattern but their melodic (and subsequent harmonic) shapes are different. It sounds like an overreaching claim.
