Back...Fair enough, Jon.<br /><br />Let me try this example--<br /><br />Back at the beginning of rap/hip hop, the pioneers Run Dmc, Grandmaster Flash, etc., would create verses with a story and rhymes, and rap over beats and samples. As hip/hop grew, and it branched out to genres within a genre (gangsatm freestyle), hip hop became a rapper, barely rhyming, out of meter, over one chord and one beat. Boring.<br /><br />The National seems heavy on production, no real choruses, nothing too catchy in the way of melody...at least to my ears...and just an exercise in sounds. <br /><br />I guess I can't argue with you about Bloodbuzz, Ohio. It is a song, maybe I just find it to be a monotonous one, with a dull melody.Sal Nunziatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221629293545204260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-16070167856502167502010-05-11T05:41:38.159-07:002010-05-11T05:41:38.159-07:00I'm beginning to be a bit unclear as to what y...I'm beginning to be a bit unclear as to what you mean when you say that record x or record y "doesn't have any real songs" or is full of "unfinished ideas of songs rather than songs themselves" etc...<br /><br />Usually I can abstractly kind of see what you're getting at (and agree), but in other cases I'm just not as clear... In what way is "Bloodbuzz, Ohio," off the latest National LP, "not a song"?jonhttp://www.thepretender.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-69462587435040511272010-05-11T05:39:08.558-07:002010-05-11T05:39:08.558-07:00Weller is out on June 1st in the US.
