Classic songs that you inexplicably hate
Jimster said:Duderonomy said:I’ve gone full circle with corny English Christmas songs and enjoy the classics now. The late ‘70s-mid’80s was the golden age.I think the thing that keeps those tunes relevant are the memories of where you kept hearing them. For me, "Stop The Cavalry" is the boss because of the Salvation Army band sections. Reminds me of being outside Widn*s Hypermarket where the band were omnipresent during the festive season. Wizzard's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" reminds me of kids riding around on Raleigh Chopper bikes and sneaking glasses of Warnink's Advocat when my mum and dad would have a house party and be doing the conga.
They are the only two good ones for me.
Worst ones are "Last Christmas" (it's about a fucking breakup) and the fucking nail in the coffin... "Feed the World". I mean, noble cause and all that, but it's unbearable to listen to for me. Bono acting the fuck out of it... Paul Young should have chinned him.
When last Christmas comes on I always sing over it as follows (dad style):
"Last Christmas I gave you a fart
The very next day, the smell went away
This year to save you from tears
I'm giving it to somebody better"
Now I look forward to this song coming on.
Also I ride for Abba still. Especially when I'm kinda drunk and then dancing queen comes on. When I was in the Army me and some buddies used to watch Muriel's Wedding on repeat for some reason in the Barracks. That, and that movie "Heavyweights" about the kids that go to fat camp. We rented them from Blockbuster and decided to never return them. And we quoted it all the time. Especially Heavyweights.

From a local shop..
Top Left - The Marketts. I swore I wouldn't buy a record just for a drum break. California Sun starts with an uptempo break... i hesitate... middle of song, another break.... ok but I'm not gonna do it.... song ends with a drum break again. I say no and put the record back. About a minute later I say fuck it, it's 6.99, and put it in the stack.
Paul Horn. Worth it for the cover alone. I googled the lady that came up with the design. I'd like to know the back story on this. Like why this is the art they would come up with for music that doesn't appear to have anything to do with our lord Satan. In the liner notes Paul says he heard some music from a brazilian guy and said "I must have him", and so they went out and got him, and this was the result. A lot of Paul Horn records are super boring flute music, but this one is wild. In a good way. And it was cheap, so i'm not mat.
Throb. What is that thing in the middle though? Buttcheecks?
Hotel Hello - Album Art that's just a picture of a sunset is a real thing. It's almost as if they want the album to be ignored so they make the cover as boring as possible. They could take notes from the Paul Horn cover lady. Anyways, I've been trying to hunt down music that is like 'ambient jazz'. spaced out, pretty... I'm not sure how to describe it or if is even a genre. But there are a few cuts on here that are EXACTLY what I'm looking for. 'Vashkar' is amazing. So is 'Impromptu' and 'Sweeping Up'. The album is on spotify too.
Labelle - Solid funky soul with multiple denim outfits on the cover. And yeah, it's actually Patty Labelle.
Billy Hart - Enchance. Most of this album is headache inducing free jazz. Not my thing. But I bought for one song - "Rahsaan is Beautiful", presumably named for Rahsaan Roland Kirt. This is another 'ambient jazz' piece that is absolutely gorgeous. I will pay 4.99 for an album with only 1 good song. I'm looking for more like this so if anybody has any recommendations please let me know.

Not bad for the local swap meet. It was vintage clothes day. They even had a DJ playing and he wasn’t bad at all. This is the first time I’ve been to a swap meet in a decade.
