The fact that they were scheduled to go on right after the “dream sequence” too. Like, let’s put on the hour-long pitch for capitalist techno-utopia, then get the marxist luddites to perform. 😂
Did you also know that Slash's father was the hairdresser of the Hollyweird Elite ? Slash is very well connected as well,a Hollyweird kid,like Kenneth Anger.
I'd say that she might have walked back the statement because Casio might have been worried that Bowie's estate might sue if they used his melody. Bowie himself probably wouldn't have cared, but now he's gone and thus no longer has control of his music, those now in charge might want to get an easy payday.
I've been collecting records for 30 years, and I'm pretty well versed (despite the well being VERY deep) in most sub genres of American rock, pop, country, funk, soul, 90's hip-hop, etc... but I totally heard new things in this video that I never knew about, and it seems like you have a very good ear for bangin' tracks! Keep up the good work! And please continue this series!
Memphis hip hop has influenced SO MUCH more than Russian social media. 2010s cloud rap, soundcloud rap, Trap, international skate culture, OG Memphis has touched them all!
I know! In this era of music-festivals-gone-wrong documentaries (woodstick 99, fyre fest) you'd think there'd be more interest in US fest. It's not that it was a disaster per say. (I mean, from the perspective of an attendee, it was an incredibly smooth experience.) But the way it predicts the culture wars of today is eerie. You have tech bro optimists budding heads with social justice trolls, while the unabashed hedonists in Valen Halen are just there to party.
Honestly I am shocked there is not a popular way to stream unplayed songs on Spotify. Finding hidden music is a goal of both the app and its customers. Even playing one every 50 songs would not go amiss if it could find even a single hit.
i agree. never thought about it this way, but RUclips has implemented this really well. watch a couple videos of obscure music with less then a couple hundred views, and it will always show you more, as well as new obscure stuff
Nashville here. Been a Triple Six fan since I was 12, I’m 41. They played Stay Fly at the Christmas party and I got everyone on the dance floor at age 41.😂 Through my jacket on the floor. We work at a bar and grill on Broadway, so, all good.
David Bowie also had a close connections for japan . He wore kimonos frequently when he was touring Ziggy stardust, back in the costume concert days he had
Memphis rap is a fascinating genre, it shares some weird similarities with black metal of all things: occult aesthetic, agressive primitivism, secrecy among the artists etc. The whole scene looks and sounds like something made up for a gritty cyberpunk dystopian movie.
memphis hip hop from that era had so much influence on so many genres from underground to mainstream. its definitely not some random thing some kids in russia stumbled upon, people just started looking into the influences of their fav artists today
The Casio preset does sound similar to the David Bowie song, but I don't think it's an exact match. But Okuda Hiroko claiming she didn't base the preset off anything does kind of remind me of Mario and Zelda composer Koji Kondo, who was heavily inspired from the music he listened to at the time for those games, which was mostly Prog Rock and Jazz Fusion. This has gotten some people to call him a plagiarist (which I disagree with), though admittedly some of his compositions do sound really similar were they could border on plagiarism. (see Sister Marian by T-Square and the Super Mario Bros. Overworld theme or the first 3 minutes of April by Deep Purple and the Zelda 1 Dungeon theme.)
She might not have consciously based the preset on anything specific, but of course we get inspired by everything we hear, whether we even notice it or not. And there's nothing wrong with that either, that's how things have always worked.
Taking me back to what some call "The good old days" I grew up late 60's 70's & 80's and still listen to the good old rock & roll baby. Thanks Bandsplaining for this video during my dinner. 🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵
Your videos are truly amazing. I really appreciate all the time, dedication and research you invest in making each one of them and the way in which you do them. It shows that it is something that you like and are quite passionate about. I discovered your channel not long ago by mere coincidence and due to my music-loving nature, I fell totally in love with it. I hope you continue making this beautiful content for much longer, because I assure you that at this rate you will go very far. P.S: I would love to see a video of yours about something related to music from my country. That would make my head explode. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷🧉
In Filing/Archiving Sciences, there is the 20/80 rule. It's a natural rule for every archive, collection, etc.: in any library, 80% of the materials are consulted and 20% aren't. We don't know why, but it is a fact in every library, archive, etc. in human history. It's not specific to Spotify. And, if you remove the ones that are not used. 20% of the total left will stop being consulted. Instead of removing, we should add more items; then, so of those unconsulted items will start being used. Seriously: this is how it works and it has been studied long before digital media came to exist.
The Spotify stat is an empty reach. The Artist that put the song up will listen to it at least once because its fun hearing your music on a platform. I would say any living artist would definately and someone posting for a dead one would want to hear it for quality.
There’s a few practical reasons why this may not be the case. For one, it isn’t possible to upload to Spotify directly- you have to use a distribution/publishing service, which typically sends your music to dozens of different streaming platforms at the same time. If you don’t have a Spotify subscription but you have an Apple/Amazon/Deezer/etc. one, you’ll probably check the platform you already have an account on and call it a day. Secondly, there’s a 1-3 week gap between when you upload music and when it actually appears on platforms. It’s possible people could forgot or lose interest in the time that passes. Finally, a song needs to be played at least 30 seconds before it’s counted as a stream. If an artist is quickly checking a whole album (or perhaps a whole discography) to confirm the songs were uploaded correctly, they may only play a few songs and/or play for a few seconds and jump around.
The Memphis hip hop sound is an extension of Horror Core ....The Ghetto Boys(before Scarface Bill and Willie D)when Johnny C was rapping....Gangsta Nip and A LOT of Rap A Lots artist started this...
As a fan of Bowie and Reggae I can hear the influence. Interesting full circle if you listen to Ziggy Stardub album (Easy Star All-Stars), where they use the Casio beat explicitly on their version of Hang On To Yourself. Checkmate?
Thank you for making this video. All of these facts were very interesting. Now, if only I can retain enough information about any of them to impress others.😂
The Bowie Song In question credited for inspiring "Rock Beat" on the Casio, was itself inspired by the music of 50's Rockabilly stars Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent
Yeah, Strummer's ego was out of control by that point. He and the manager got rid of Jones, who was half of the songwriting equation, then they released Cut the Crap, an album so bad it wasn't included in box sets. Oh, and Strummer was educated at a boarding school in Switzerland, so of course he's the one blathering on about class warfare.
The David Bowie lick is not the same pitches as the reggae beat: his is do-do-do-sol-fa (scale degrees 1-5-4) and the reggae pattern is do-do-do-fa-mi (scale degrees 1-4-3). They use the same rhythmic pattern but their melodic (and subsequent harmonic) shapes are different. It sounds like an overreaching claim.
I was trying to figure out where I knew that riddim from. Embarrassingly, I think it's "Caress Me Down" by Sublime. 😭 EDIT: Oh, you got there. Okay. Cool.
It's a common misconception that a song wasn't streamed because it sucked. If it wasn't listened to how would anyone know if it was good or bad? I would be willing to bet that 100% of that 20% didn't get listened to because the artists didn't know a) how to promote properly or b) didn't know you had to promote in the first place. Maybe they thought people would just find it which is a rare occurrence on Spotify. There are a lot of naive and misinformed musicians out there.

I always love when these festivals hire a punk band and then are surprised that they act like a punk band lol.
The fact that they were scheduled to go on right after the “dream sequence” too. Like, let’s put on the hour-long pitch for capitalist techno-utopia, then get the marxist luddites to perform. 😂
So funny when things like that happen in hind sight like what were they thinking lol. Also fantastic video great stuff in it!@@Bandsplaining
@@BandsplainingIt’s like when Paul Ryan said he loved Rage Against the Machine 😂
He hired a band, not a Ted-talk
yes a very charged up punk band who with a little smig of insight would know they would NOT be about this, again you get what you paid for.@@Sool101
The connections Bowie has to the entire music industry is so crazy
Yeah I think the fact that he dated Slash’s mom is even wilder than the reggae thing, although probably less obscure as a fact
@@griffinoconnor1523 HE WHAT??

It's funny that she slightly changed the rhythm to make it not exactly the Bowie riff, and landed on being exactly the Sex Pistols riff instead.

Facts and I'm from Memphis

The "US Festival" was way ahead of its time. I'm kind of shocked I've not heard about it before

After her initial interview, Casio may have told her to roll that back so that Bowie doesn't sue. 🤷🏻♂️
Man, that Bowie story is wild! 😂 That’s the power of humans borrowing from each other and transforming the source.
I’ve noticed that Russia likes a lot of darker music like phonk, $B, And especially Sematary.
it's hard to vibe with something cheerful when it's cold and dark here for most time of the year 😂
Phonk is like Imagine Dragons
Though I dunno why (russian eurobeat and prog rock enjoyer)

Seeing David Bowie and Tommy Wright III in the same picture was so crazy, I had to click on this video

i literally clicked just for tommy wright iii lmao
Its as though they evolved from the blues
memphis hip hop from that era had so much influence on so many genres from underground to mainstream. its definitely not some random thing some kids in russia stumbled upon, people just started looking into the influences of their fav artists today
That Casio beat also sounds almost identical to the Ramones’ “I Don’t Wanna Go Down to the Basement” from their 1976 debut album. Go give it a listen!
I DESPERATELY NEED A NEW EPISODE OF THIS!
You're videos are interesting! The channel is the embodiment of the "cool dude at the record store"
Honestly well put together and quite enjoyable. But this channel always delivers so
7:40 SpaceGhostPurrp coined the term "Phonk" in like 2010
So whenever I hear a riff that hits on the 3's, I can say it sounds like an obscure casio preset. I'm so ready for Christmas, now.
I sometimes love the stories that emanate from music and musicians more than the music. Youre speakin my language.
Can’t wait for dinner tonight to share these interesting facts.
The Casio preset does sound similar to the David Bowie song, but I don't think it's an exact match.
But Okuda Hiroko claiming she didn't base the preset off anything does kind of remind me of Mario and Zelda composer Koji Kondo, who was heavily inspired from the music he listened to at the time for those games, which was mostly Prog Rock and Jazz Fusion.

Maybe Casio told her something to avoid some legal lawsuits

Great video!
An excellent edition of musical facts thank you

I remember reaching my hand down the 'slang tang' hole one time. Got a bunch of cat hair.😂
mind blown
More facts please!
Tommy wright on the thumbnail goes crazy
You made a comparaison between my favorite early Triple Six Mafia track and my favorite Steve Reich composition.
Instant sub
This was a good video.
My favorite footage of Triumph playing live is from the US Festival '83. Otherwise i wouldn't have known it ever existed.
Rik Emmett is totally underrated. That dude can jam. I'm a big Triumph fan. Another great power trip from Canada.
Honestly the first thing that comes to mind is “Return of the Gianthogsweed” by Genesis when listening to the Casio sample.
I saw Tommy III live @ The Joint in Miami a couple years ago.
The Casio preset also sounds akin to Neat Neat Neat by The Damned (a British punk band), at least rhythmically.
True true true
That whiskey joke was fuckin hilarious! 😂
Way to go Woz
I noticed Tommy in the thumbnail and had to see
wow.. the fact with bowie
considering that while knowing there are people who actually hate his album Tonight which is reggae pure, smh
That ziggy stardust song is also I'm against it by the ramones and another punk song from back in the 70s
I likely wouldn't bother to share any of this with anyone.
Yeah, Strummer's ego was out of control by that point. He and the manager got rid of Jones, who was half of the songwriting equation, then they released Cut the Crap, an album so bad it wasn't included in box sets. Oh, and Strummer was educated at a boarding school in Switzerland, so of course he's the one blathering on about class warfare.
I never used Spotify
Woz giving the manager of The Clash a squirting fake slot machine was more punk rock than what Joe Strummer did.

EDIT: Oh, you got there. Okay. Cool.
This explains the Tommy Wright III creeping videos
Punk rockers were typically more angry and self righteous than intelligent. Plenty of exceptions I'm sure.
Strummer was a pretty smart guy, but could go overboard with his tirades really easily.
