Tea&Biscuits Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 Yea that Demon Dayz is wicked! Ive also been loving lots of Ragga/Dancehall at the moment - Elephant Man/Sizzla/Beenie Man and Lady Saw! Its the sound of my area - every car, window is blasting out Ragga!! I like it, gets you moving, although can be a bit jarring after a while and im not sure about some of the homophobic lyrics etc! Audio Bullys - wicked dancey CD! Also dusted my Best of the Pixies out - rockin!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speckled Frost Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I'm surprised someone as liberal as you T&B is listening to someone as homophobic as Beenie Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea&Biscuits Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 I wouldnt say I was too liberal to listen to music that may have homophobic lyrics in? It dosent mean I agree with it - if I was to censor everything I listened to which includes gangster rap (which is blatently derogatory towards women) to Ragga, to some heavy metal, etc I wouldnt be able to listen to anything????? I dont know about Beenie Mans lyrics, I know that Elephant man is homophobic, but It wont stop me listening to it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speckled Frost Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 There has been some evidence though that his lyrics, and that of other Jamaican artists, have actually incited violence and some lyrics (not sure if it's Beenie Man or not) overtly urge the listener to harm or kill gays. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating censorship nor am I criticising you, just expressing surprise that you'd listen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea&Biscuits Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 I know that there is a general homophobia within Jamaican culture, which can manifest into the music, however i guess it is wrong to assume that the majority of the music insights or is disriminative towards gay people. (not that im saying thats what your saying!) Also i gues i need to point out that not all Jamaican people feel that way either! I think it was Buju Banton who caused controversy with his song about hanging gays etc - and there are a few others. As much as I dont agree with the lyrics and would not listen to songs that were blatently and soley about killing or hurting anyone I do still listen to music that may have references to subjects or situations that are less than liberal? Im being honest I guess! Most songs are written with some kind of agenda or expression arnt they? It sounds stupid but I love 50Cent and some of his songs are really degrading to women, and Im the first person to get rilled up about women and equality, but I just love his music??? I find it quite sexy! Dont ask me why???? Cause i dont knw! All them rappers kind of make women sex objects etc, but I still listen to the music? Just like I know some gay mates who still listen to ragga even though it can be homophobic? Sometimes as long as people are blatent in what they believe they are less dangerous (in a weird way) its when people are covert about their beliefs etc thats when i worry!! Oh i dont know the world is a bit messed up reallY! but i like my music!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ean Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 The White Stripes new album is quality, loving Blue Orchid and The Nurse at the minute. Lullabies to Paralyze is another one that has been in my cd player for a while...still prefer Songs for the Deaf. And the Magic Numbers looks set to be the soundtrack of my summer, just loving the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Heard a version of sweet child o mine done in an electro style - thought it was interesting, I've been wanting to get a group together for a while to do folkie versions of classic heavy metal tunes (including sweet child of mine) - any takers? ( I'm not that serious before anyone suggests I post on the manxbands swearing site). I suppose I have a feeling of nostalgia for my misspent adolescence now I've moved on from that sort of music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
