I have a gut feeling about turkey, and The Michael Shelley Show. Baby. Good morning all you kids out there.
Avatar #1 Hit Supporter Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 11:04am
Listener Baby:

One could take all the 1960's bands no one has ever heard of, and still make the argument that the 60's were clearly the greatest decade for music. I give you The Bats as an example.
  11:06am
clarke:

howdy all!!! baby - nice to see someone so perky so early (for west coast)!!
  11:08am

agreed that the 60's has continual frontiers

Perky is my sur-name. Hola Clarke!
  11:15am
clarke:

what i find odd is that a random song from the sixties "outlasts", say, indie rock from the 90's - that particular genre does not stand up well, over time (although at the time i liked some of it - i also delineate between indie rock and indie pop, the latter standing up better over time).

eddy - that's cool enuff!!!! i guess it is fall down there?
  11:23am
Stuart Rose:

Clarke, you've got a good point about 60s rock and pop compared to 90s music.
In general , I think the songwriting, the songcraft. Even second and third tier singers/groups had better melodies.
  11:25am
clarke:

indeed - it is strange how the 60's (all genres and eras) transcends time
  11:26am
Eddy in Australia:

Clarke: Yep, but chilly enough to feel like winter - Australian winter, not NY/NJ-level winter.

Avatar #1 Hit Supporter Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 11:31am
Listener Baby:

Back to Clarke's point. I think the 1960's recordings themselves really help them stand up taller. The DIY thing in 1990's didn't help them much in the end. Can't go wrong with a real studio, a real engineer and real mics. A minor point, but important, I feel.
  11:32am
clarke:

oh, yeah - i figured that, eddy!!
  11:33am
clarke:

well, it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to re-create the 60's sound, today. (as opposed to it is relatively easy to reproduce an acceptable 50's sound)

JakeGould:

@northguineahills: Site seems down for me as well.

Although I like this interview, I think the tangents dumping on “the art world” (whatever that means) are really not necessary. It’s kinda like dumping on “the music world.” Andy Warhol was a major part of the high art world and without him, the path of the Velvet Underground would not be the same. Ditto with tons of other art/music connections. It’s not as alienating as one thinks.

Heck, his design of The Rolling Stones’ “Sticky Fingers” album cover is high art, low art, applied art. An album cover with an actual zipper in it back then? That was an insane idea that worked.
  12:13pm
JakeGould:

FWIW, Walter De Maria—pretty good minimalist/conceptual artist—was the drummer for the Primitives with Lou Reed and John Cale before the Velvet Underground came to be.

All I am disagreeing with is the false dichotomy of praising Steve Keene’s is somehow connected to dumping on a whole overarching view of the art world in general.

It’s like dumping on classical music in contrast to “real” rock and roll. There’s far more common ground and little need for drama/conflict. Good interview. That’s all.

I'm disagreeing that I'm drawing that explicit dichotomy

Steve operates outside of that world and that contrast is part of the story

so I explored that - maybe not a 100% bulls-eye but I'm a human

your metaphor of classical to r&r doesnt work for me at all

but thanks for listening & putting in your 2 cents
