[kj] Eddy Current Suppression Ring

[Karen Weil]

What category, Darren? Hmmmmm.... I don't know: diverse? 
No crime there, I say. 

Tot ziens,

  But in that case I'd rather say who they're similar to, as it gives the person I'm talking to a better "in".  If someone's not into Sunn O))), describing them as Doom Drone will be meaningless. If I say that they're like Bloody Panda, they'll ... not have heard them either. Oh.

   

  Play stuff to people. That's the answer. You get a personal investment in selecting things you'll think people might like. Mixtapes. It allows the people to not restrict themselves to the faction they're in danger of aligning themselves with.

   

  See - I like (say) Regina Spektor. I also like (say) Killing Joke and (say) Ultravox and (say) Depeche Mode. What category do I fit into? Am I a new-romantic-synth-pop-female-singer-songwriter-industrial-goth-post-punkerist? Or am I me?

  Labels are a weird one 'cos I hate that categorisation & yet use them when I need to

  communicate my thoughts of a tune/band to someone else. A Necessary Evil.

   

  As Clive once said, "If only they'd facking label things."

    Fair do's, Pete. I laughed.

     

    Sometimes it's easy to disappear up your own arse trying to classify music, which is why I think mostly you shouldn't (apart from the good / crap thing).

     

    In Oliver's defence, however, I think it's slightly different when you need to program a radio show with genre-based music.

    Oliver: Are these a Doom drone band, or are they perhaps a New Doom Drone Band ?
    Are they a Metal Doom Drone band or a Death Metal Doom Drone band ?
    Are they an Old school Doom Drone band or are they a New wave of Doom Drone band or maybe they are even a New wave of Death Metal Doom Drone band .
      If they are a New Wave of Old Skool Death Metal Doom Drone band revivalists and therefore that makes them in a new category, then I may give them a listen , but if they are New Wave of Old Skool Death Metal Doom Drone band non revivalist , then I wont bother because that is so *last year *
