Dave Segal, “The Stranger‘s resident weird-music specialist”, is dyspeptic about America’s Top Ten Singles:
… “Holy Grail” reeks of synergizing corporate stratagem. Are the skreets listenin’? Do Fortune 500 CEOs like hiphop? Do you want to make Shawn Carter even richer? Whatever the case, “Holy Grail” starts out like a maudlin ballad, Justin Timberlake viscerally emoting like something’s actually at stake (“This is where we reel in the sentimental schmaltz lovers”). Then the rapping bit starts, N-bombs drop, cautionary tales of fame stream out (“Here’s where my vastly poorer fans shed tears of sympathy for me”), Hammer, Tyson, and Cobain references commence (zzz), and then JT faux-croons the chorus to “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (“This is where we snag ’90s-rock nostalgiacs”). Then Jay and J alternate between perfunctory rapping and heart-on-sleeve singing; the beat plods, the strings waft. Bet your snapback that this song is on Mayor Bloomberg’s iPod…
My own choice for Song of the Summer, below the fold because NSFW:
If I ever get out to Seattle again, I hope my trip will include a Mod Carousel performance.

I think every category of music faces the so-called selling out dilema but does any other genre besides hip-hop have a corollary and/or converse celebratory reaction? For every person cringing at the corporatism, the alleged loss of artistic purity there is another hip-hopper celebrating, proclaiming ‘damn, that boy made it’. I contend, if one doesn’t understand why that is, he or she doesn’t understand a huge part of America.
And Jay certainly understands this and has touched on it in other songs.
“Motherfuckers say that I’m foolish I only talk about jewels
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it
See I’m influenced by the ghetto you ruined
That same dude you gave nothing, I made something doing
What I do, through and through and
I give you the news with a twist, it’s just his ghetto point-of-view
The renegade, you been afraid
I penetrate pop culture, bring em a lot closer to the block where they
Pop toasters and they live with they Moms
Got dropped roadsters from botched robberies, niggas crouched over
Mami’s knocked up cause she wasn’t watched over
Knocked down by some clown when child support knocked
No he’s not around
Now how that sound to ya, jot it down
I bring it through the ghetto without riding round
Hiding down ducking strays from frustrated youths stuck in they ways
Just read a magazine that fucked up my day
How you rate music that thugs with nothing relate to it
I help them see they way through it, not you
Can’t step in my pants, can’t walk in my shoes
Bet everything you’re worth, you’ll lose your tie and your shirt”

Back in the 50s we used to have, in the basement, 2 – count ’em, 2 – wire recorders and also a machine that would cut audio onto blank discs. Made many a disc of stuff from the radio, which were used at parties and have scattered to the winds over the years.

I’m appreciative of the public’s insistence on still wanting different kinds of music. The Corporate Dream is to get rid of genres and the artists thereof, and handle just one “artist” who sells a zillion records. And… repeat.

My choice for song of the summer is Avicii’s “Wake Me Up.” For one thing, it’s not a dumb song about partying or sexually assaulting women. For another, it’s something totally different for the dance genre right now. The first part of the song is acoustic guitar, not whizzy synth effects. It also establishes the melody before it goes into straight up dance territory.
Another good one that went nowhere is “The Underdog” by Wallpaper. Very chill song with a big push to sing along. It’s a little cliche in its lyrics but the song is catchy and well-performed.
And Fiona Apple technically just released “Hot Knife” as a single. That song was so good I called it one of the best songs of 2012 just from the album release.
And if we’re just talking performance, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better vocal performance than Lea Salonga singing “I’m Still Hurting” from The Last 5 Years in rehearsal for one of her summer concerts.

Fraser was 8 years, Howard was 10 years.
With Murdoch’s backing I can’t see the LNP losing the next two elections.
After all, probably 5-10% of the voting population are influenced by Murdoch news titles. That’s enough to provide landslide wins.
For the time being Murdoch has veto power over any future Labor government. They are going to either have to do a deal with him, which won’t work, or wait for him to die.
My big worry is by that time, Abbott and co will have so destroyed the union movement that Labor will no longer have the financial base with which to fight an election. What happens to democracy then I don’t know.

There is some great country music still being made. They just call it “bluegrass” and “Americana.”
This has been an especially good year for young female country artists. Even though She Who Must Not Be Named has sucked all the air out of the room in terms of mainstream attention, Ashley Monroe, Kacey Musgraves, Pistol Annies, Della Mae, and Natalie Maines have all made very good records, and I have outsized expectations for the new Sarah Jarosz album that’s due out on 9/24.

Sometimes it takes a while for the good music released within a given year to get filtered out from all the commercialized crap, regardless of genre.
Take 1969, one of the greatest years in modern music. This is the same year that saw Abbey Road (which was panned by critics on release), Led Zeppelin’s first and second album (also panned), The Who’s Tommy, Dylan’s Nashville Skylines, Johnny Cash’s Live at San Quentin, three separate CCR releases (from a band that released only seven albums), Cloud Nine from The Temptations, Bowie’s Man of Words/Man of Music, Cohen’s From A Room, Santana’s first studio album… the list goes on and on. Oh, and Woodstock.
But the most requested song of 1969 was this piece of poptastic bubble-gum shit.

@Thlayli:
I don’t think the kidz have a conception of what they are listening to either. Really.
Getting access to music is so damn easy these days that the kidz do not need to define themselves by the type of music they listen to, i.e. you do not have a clique of kidz listening to heavy metal, disco, rap, alternative, etc. because the alternative kid and the rap kid just download their playlists; they don’t need to friends to like minded friends to help them scour music stores or read zines to figure out what’s cutting edge or who sold out or who is keeping it real.
A lot of the social definition music gave cliques in the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s just isn’t there anymore.
As far as popular enough for me to notice category, I was in Budapest at a club last year and the DJ started playing American pop songs, like “Call me Maybe” and some Katie Perry stuff, etc. and the Hungarian girls, who didn’t know English were singing along to the lyrics and dancing to the songs.
That’s some amazing global reach, in my opinion.

As to the male musicians, I have a soft spot in my heart for Tom Russell. “Rider on an Orphan Train” breaks my heart every time I hear it. I thought that whole album (The Man from God Knows Where) was great.

Hey NotMax, why do you dread going to NYC? Or are you going to Albany, which would be to dread.
I like NYC, at least in a dose below weeks – my wife used to go to NYC for several months to negotiate contracts, and I would go up for a couple of weeks, we’d go out to dinner, jazz clubs, blues clubs, theater shows, museums, and shopping (not buying, generally) at crazy art galleries and antique shops.
Books stores with miles of shelving! Books shops that just do mysteries, or SciFi, or technical texts. Thai food to die for, Oyster bars with whole menus of different localities of oysters, Italian food, Japanese food, more museums than you can shake a stick at, and the room was paid for by the negotiating parties!
That was a long time ago, now that we’re retired we don’t go as often, but I still like NYC.

While you are correct, and any parents who left their children alone with him were incredibly stupid, I tried not to hate on him too much – he never had a prayer of growing up into a normal adult. I blame a lot of that on his father – for example, when the Jackson Five were touring (I don’t remember how old he would have been at the time) his father let a bunch of fans into the hotel room he was sharing with one of his brothers so they could gawk at the boys while they slept.
Regardless of how or why it came to be, though, he was clearly a danger to children. I wouldn’t leave one of my dogs with someone I couldn’t trust. A parent leaving a child with him is beyond my understanding.

Ms. Monae justifies modern popular music as well as any one artist can. Can’t wait for Tuesday when her new LP drops.
Lots of new music is awesome, from any genre you can name. I’ve long since given up on radio, TV, etc to tell me where to find it, though. Spotify and the like open so many doors to new great material, never mind websites devoted to certain genres, etc.

Money and honor have a certain incompatibility, perhaps. True honor, integrity, not having your ass kissed, honorS, that which comes from others. In a small group honor is everything because the group could expel you and you could die, in a large group honor is being the big cheese because there are always enough with enough fear of loss of status to attach themselves to anyone who seems important and powerful enough. It all comes down to that primal fear.
Selling records, making paper, it’s all enormously affirming in a place that’s buried too deep to really question it all, plus that kind of life attracts narcissists who have skewed internal incentive systems anyway so they don’t have a conscience about how their actions may be adversely affecting others, while those that aren’t that way are temporarily blinded by all the “we love you, keep it up” signals they’re getting. It’s like a drug, and we see those whose star has faded desperate to get that back.
