WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

The closest I'll come to jazz

Posted over 2 years ago
So, I'm with the Commitments on the "jazz is musical wanking off" theory. Still, I do like this Cibelle song. But that's it. That's as close as I'll go. And for anyone who wants to do the "jazz is an american art-form shtick" -- I prefer blues any day of the week, and particularly hate acid jazz. Okay, I also admit I have the Les Nubiens version of "smooth operator", but we already know the French do plenty of stuff that no one else can pull off. Like clam-diggers and stylish infidelity.

  2. Ev says Nope. Billie just doesn't work. She annoys me. Can't say why. The gap ad was just icing. The closest I might be able to come (aside from Cibelle and the "it's Brazilian music not jazz!" angle), is old Fred Astaire songs back when they thought that type of music was jazz . . . and we all know that wasn't what most people mean by jazz). Let's face it. Jazz is deeply unsexy and no amount of Miles Davis or acid-jazz will ever make me budge on this issue. I'm not trying to start a flame war and if it's what gets some people going, more power to you. Just leave me out of it. I also find the saxophone deeply unsexy, so I think I'm just firmly outside whatever demographic. I normally like to be flexible and willing to change on many issues, but I hope that I never change my mind about jazz or men from Texas (and yes, I did just mess with Texas, what about it!). Some things are just deal breakers. period. And, it's important to know where the line is.

  3. Cody B says You will save a lot of money by hating jazz. Good for you. I wish I hated more things.
