You’ve been busy- store or online? I was at Amoeba Records in Hollywood last Friday picking through things- they have a Metal section there you would love!

most online. most all record shops here all gone

last one was great, til an employee opened a big UPS delivery, found it full of vacuum packed dope, dumbs*t calls the police/ what an idiot.

There’s a NYT article today talking about new music.
It’s unintentionally hilarious.

It starts by noting that the 2022 Saucy Santana single, “Booty,” not only uses the same Chi-Lites sample that gave Beyoncé her signature song, “Crazy in Love,” (the Beyoncé song is essentially nothing without the Chi-Lites sample - if there’s anything good about the Beyoncé song, it’s the liberal looping/sampling of the awesome horn riff by the Chi-Lites, which is clearly the defining characteristic of ‘Beyoncé’s song’) but that the artist is really appropriating Beyoncé, wearing an almost identical outfit in the video as Beyoncé used in the “Crazy in Love” video and mimicking her moves.

So a ripoff of a ripoff.

We’re talking about mind-bending levels of artistic vacancy here.

Here’s the laughable apologia offered by the NYT writer for this stupefyingly-low standard of originality in modern pop music:

”No longer burdened by the expectation of innovation, established artists essentially use these well-worn samples to firmly insert themselves into the historical pop slipstream.”

Ya can’t make this stuff up.

Right? After reading your post I did a lookup on these songs. Beyoncé and “Her future husband Jay Z” is how it came up- Yay! So I watched the first 10 seconds and shut it off. Next onto Saucy Santana (whom I had never heard of and hope to not ever again) and I was utterly speechless. I shut it off after 10 seconds as well but unfortunately I will never be able to “unsee” what I was exposed to.
