Is there hip-hop that you really like, that you listen to?
There's a bunch of hip-hop that I like. I just got the new Pharcyde record, I like that. Heck, I like Eminem. I like the sound of Eminem. I like DMX, the sound of DMX is just unbelievable. I do speak as a former sound engineer, but the sound of those DMX records is just ridiculous. The "Conscious" hip-hop stuff, there's a whole bunch. The Black Eyed Peas are really cool, Jurassic 5. There's tons of hip-hop that I listen to, but I won't claim that I'm some great hip-hop expert. I definitely feel like an outsider looking in on hip-hop. And that's fine.
I find hip-hop and dance to be entirely unto themselves.
I don't know, this is a half-baked thought- but because it's not fully informed by mainstream commercial culture, it is a culture that exists as something more than just product.
Because it doesn't have to pander to a pop audience, it's got an established audience that's big enough.
And that's certianly true for Tejano music, which because of my poor Spanish language skills I miss a lot of, but I'm interested in anything that's I hate to ever use the word "authentic" because that's a slippery term, but I like things that strike me as real and immediate. My tastes are really catholic. I still buy tons of records- I bought 7 CDs yesterday.
What'd you get? Don't lie so you'll seem cool.
I won't. I'm trying to remember, that's the problem. I brought the Little Feat box, which I'd had but I lost it. And you should listen to Little Feat. You really should.
I'll take your word for that. If Jason has any lying around I'll borrow his. I remember being quite surprised when I found out he was into the Allman brothers.
Little Feats different, Little Feat werer much funnier.
I think there's a lot of huo rto the Allman Brothers.
I don't think much of what was intentional.
Plane crashes are humorours.
I have been tryign for years at South by Southwest- on Sunday nights we always do Hoot Nights-
Oh, wait, the plane crash was Lynrd Skynrd. I was wrong.
Duane Allman died in a motorcycle crash, but with the plane crash- for years I'd been waiting to do a Hoot Night called "Leadving on A Jet Plane," and it's all people who died in plane crashes. There's tons of really greate artists who, unfortunately, perished in the air. Pasty Cline, Buddy Holly, Lyndrd Skynrd, Otis Redding and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
That's a great idea. Why isn't it happening?
Some poeple think it's a little bit morbid.
So, what's your title now?
My title is Creative Director.
And that means?
