Thanks to Matt Hartley for highlighting the musically illiterate culture that masquerades as hip and groovy music entertainment.
Any basic high school academic analysis will tell you that a repetitive, narrow range vocal melody (rap) against a simplistic, repetitive bass and drums is technically poor and amateurish. Local venues with the ever-growing number of DJs please take note.
That a so-called musician like Tyler the Creator actually gets publicity and traction in the entertainment industry defies belief to any remotely caring person who takes an interest in music culture.
Splendour in the Grass merely represents our ever-growing, dumbed down society and music culture, and if alcohol was taken out of the equation I don’t think half these shows would even exist.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
