Re: Music 3.0 with First Music Contact & Jim Carroll

Tell that to these guys:

I was fully prepared for that to be absolute shite. And you know what? My expectations were MASSIVELY exceeded.

i expected it to be shit but i didn't realise how brilliantly shit it would be, my favourite bit being when you skip 3 mins into the song and they're still doing the same shit in a warehouse

link?

http://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/ontherecord/2012/05/02/here-come-the-purists/ - it's about halfway down the page.. she has three or four comments, all on the ball. Her parting shot is: "Well I gave up reading your blog because I too got fed up, of listening to the miserable oul fella holding court in the corner." Beautiful.

This is the heart of it. He is miserable. He loves to pour scorn on people and harbour his percieved grivances. He's an embarrassment. Nialler said he's apologised and moved on, but JOC keeps the ugly debacle going to prove some pyrrhic point about 'purists'.

 

[rettucs]

what a great read. Nay certainly touched a nerve in poor old Jim. He almost seems human in his response

 

[pete]

personally i've never forgiven him for leaving thumped off the OTR blogroll

NEVER FORGET

I KNOW THIS IS NOT A BLOG

I thought that said bogroll. Though if it did I'm sure thumped wouldn't have been left off!!

 

[JohnnyRaz]

ah lads, its only the internet.
given that JOC makes a living doing what he does you'd imagine he's be less of a bollix.

 

[pete]

i'm sure it's all just a persona

Re: Music 3.0 with First Music Contact & Jim Carroll

There's a lot of weird assumptions floating around in that debate. For example, the one that places ultimate value on "progress" in music, what's interesting is that which is "new", and trad is stuck in some sort of rut that is needs to get out of, and therefore only becomes interesting when it absorbs outside influences and evolves into something else. Leaving aside the fact that (I imagine) trad has been doing all this for years anyway, why is constant innovation in music assumed to always be a good thing? Maybe if musicians spent less time trying to be innovative and more time trying to be good, then they might produce better music?

Well said.
