    Hey Dongless.....

    I was merely disatisfied with how it sounded...I dont need some wannbe smartass telling me that kind of shit...I have an opinion on the music thats it...I dont care for neo RnB singers that are so used to singing OVER tracks and not WITH tracks...do you undterstand that? Do understand rhythm doesnt come from a quanitize button? I dont feel a real groove from the music...folks are used to the metronome perfect samble based soul music today...singing WITH a band is a whole different animal, and I prefer that, just my opinion...now sit down and shut the fuck up.

    Great, I'll be sure to pass that on to them next time they are in the studio. They could learn a thing or two from your powerful insights, obviously.

    Hey, you are the one that came with snarky smartass bullshit...I was not saying anything bad about the Dap Kings if you read what I said, (funny Otis Funkmeyer got EXACTLY what I was saying)...obviously you didnt... I am talking about neo-soul and neo-RnB singers that sing over sampled, producer beats and backing tracks...it doesnt sound right to me...the good ones, ladies like Sharon Jones and Nicole Willis seem to be in the pocket more because they sing with live bands a lot...Im sure Amy singing with the Dap Kings for 50 or 60 one-nighters might get better and her songs would sound more like soul songs...but the stuff I have heard doesnt not sound like soul music....Dongless.

    Tell Neal "Hi" for me next time they are in the studio...

  • Hey Dongless.....

  • I like this chick's music. i am feeling this whole alternative to hip hop shit (Gnarls, Lily Allen, Amy etc.).

    although, i don't even really like rap.

    that cracker that sings for Nostalgia 77 (cant remember her name, she did the "Seven nation Army" track) seems to be able to sing "soul" over beats a lot better than most

    I would be trying to holler.

    Alice Russell? I have a few things by her and it's cool in small doses.

    I'm not questioning her singing ability or if she has the right to sing soul music. I'm just really curious if she would be this be this type of a media darling if she was black. Really I'm not sure.

    Alice Russell is a way more soulful vocalist than Amy Winehouse. I am still feeling Amy's album though , I know what you are saying about the production , it is a certain sound and effect that Ronson went for and I personally think it is cool but I can see where you are coming from regarding the live off the floor feel that is missing from the tracks.

    holy crap that is a run on sentence if i've ever seen one.

    p.s. any reason you called alice russell a cracker?

    I was just being inflammatory on purpose with the suggested prospect of this becoming another SoulStrut race thread.

    No wonder you just won "producer of the year".

    EDIT: Oh wait, you didn't.

    ????

    So, just because I am not a professional record producer, I do not have a right, even as a music enthusiast , to say that I think an award winning professional record producer's job on a particular record sounds like crap?

    Get the fuck outta here...

    Since when does winning an award for "production" guarantee a sense of entitlement for respect from everyone?



  • Get the fuck outta here...


    awww you know you done fucked up now right? dongless ain't havin' that shit are you man?

    Look at your first post filled with scarcasm and some snobbish live music is better than "what the kids like nowadays" tone. Don't get in a hissy fit when someone throws that shit back at you. It's the internet, you can (and hopefully will) get past this.

    No I will not stand for this.

    I'm going to go home and think up a very long retaliation post. Edit it several times, then finally hit "send".

    Wish me luck.

    what if she was asian?


    I would be trying to holler.

    I have nothing against you, nor do I care what color she is (only listened to a few of her tracks, OK but nothing I would listen to on a regular basis), but aren't you always vocalizing your disapproval against this dating trend? Just curious.

  • DongerDonger 854 Posts
    I'm glad someone finally recognized!

    For the record, I don't even care for Amy Winhouse. I'ts a slow day at work so I am bored as hell.

    Hopefully I learned some lessons today in "Crate Digging Revealed", and made a new friend/frenemy : The Hook Up!

    OK, have a good week yall!

    haha...this is awesome. Do Amy Winehouse threads also destroy people's abilities to recognize sarcasm?
