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!
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
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!
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.
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.
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 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...
The last fact seems wrong. Woz did nothing wrong, and The Clash were pretentious twits pretending to be rebellious, but actually throwing a hissy fit because they weren't the biggest band there.
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?
The clash were always hypocrites from the moment they got big, I've heard many stories of diva-ish behaviour and a lack of respect for smaller bands that cited them as influence, that being said, it was a bit daft of Woz to expect anything else
Exactly that’s why I dropped I dislike for discrediting the influence of Memphis rap plus bro was trynna basically act like everyone didn’t already know Memphis influenced phono
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 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.
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
Man, I love 90s Memphis rap. Got into 3 6 a while back and it’s the best. Always reminds me of the death or black metal I listen to. Also, goddamn is The Clash lame. Joe Strummer was an edgy communist sympathizer at best.
#1 All that means is that 20% have been played more then once. #2 "While it does remain unconfirmed." hmmm?? Facts??? Less than 7 mins. in and I'm done.
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.
probably more like 50% of spotify unheard now. basically anybody can release anything in there. its a shitty invention tbh, and its not good for most artists
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.
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.
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 🇦🇷🧉

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??
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.

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.

Tremendous compliment, thank you!
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)
After her initial interview, Casio may have told her to roll that back so that Bowie doesn't sue. 🤷🏻♂️
The "US Festival" was way ahead of its time. I'm kind of shocked I've not heard about it before

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
You're videos are interesting! The channel is the embodiment of the "cool dude at the record store"
hiroko is trying to keep from getting sued
Could be. Or rather, Casio is trying to keep from getting sued.
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!

wow.. the fact with bowie
considering that while knowing there are people who actually hate his album Tonight which is reggae pure, smh
I'm that 20% please stream "Eisenhower" by Cliff Fields 😭🙏🏾❤️
Can’t wait for dinner tonight to share these interesting facts.
The last fact seems wrong. Woz did nothing wrong, and The Clash were pretentious twits pretending to be rebellious, but actually throwing a hissy fit because they weren't the biggest band there.
The Clash & Joe Strummer were way ahead of their time, in that they were Donny Tourette & The Towers of London 30 years early.
Joe Strummer was like “hey woz thanks for the money no let me shit on you for an hour”
The Clash is such a pathetic band and Joe is a big hypocrite.
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?
12:09 That would be an absolute nightmare for those attendees on Acid...
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.
yes, please educate more people on reggae and ska
I sometimes love the stories that emanate from music and musicians more than the music. Youre speakin my language.
The clash were always hypocrites from the moment they got big, I've heard many stories of diva-ish behaviour and a lack of respect for smaller bands that cited them as influence, that being said, it was a bit daft of Woz to expect anything else
8:19 hasn’t been a hub??!? Memphis??!? How white ARE you??!?
Exactly that’s why I dropped I dislike for discrediting the influence of Memphis rap plus bro was trynna basically act like everyone didn’t already know Memphis influenced phono
Imagine tripping balls at the US festival and u see a ufo above u and an alien comes on screen and starts hypnotizing you
While I love your in-depth stuff about niche music phenomenon, I love hearing these stories too!
OHHHHHHH so drift phonk is the reason entire neighbourhoods are subjected to screeching tires sounds each night... the more you know
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.
Tommy wright???

That was great cant wait for the next one!

Ok this is awesome. You inspired me to make a short vid about the Bowie reggae relation in my native language lmao
Gonna start reading

I DESPERATELY NEED A NEW EPISODE OF THIS!
11:40 Technology and computers have certainly brought people together, haven't they?
The older I get the more I realize that many of my punk heroes were such petulant nobs
Tommy wright and david bowie together on the thumbnail made me wanna see this
Are you telling me that if David Bowie didn't exist that jungle wouldn't exist
probably more like 50% of spotify unheard now. basically anybody can release anything in there. its a shitty invention tbh, and its not good for most artists
I likely wouldn't bother to share any of this with anyone.
M S Baburaj use to be huge back in my grandpas days .
I honestly misread the title as "Music Farts To Share At the Dinner Table"
Bless the algorithm for my new favorite channel
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.
It’s phonk not plunk and it started in the late 80s making it a millennial thing not a gen z creation, quit lying to people
You made a comparaison between my favorite early Triple Six Mafia track and my favorite Steve Reich composition.
Instant sub
9:08 this was such a curveball for me. One of the reasons why I love this channel
Holy crap I actually have that computer. It even works! Very cool
I noticed Tommy in the thumbnail and had to see
Very interesting stuff
The Casio preset also sounds akin to Neat Neat Neat by The Damned (a British punk band), at least rhythmically.
True true true
Only clicked because of TW3
Brilliant video! Please make more content like this!
Thank you for introducing me to Arsenal. Bolero is a masterpiece.
Absolutely!
Saw Tommy Wright III, clicked.
Music apps are horrible mp3s are garbage. Most performers are crap
Great video! Thank you, funny too!
Very very interesting video,thnx.
Says more about Spotify then the music itself.
Good ass video. I enjoyed it al lot!
Hey neat my dad was at the Us festival
So what? Im glad the clash broke up.
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.
Tommy Wright on da creep...
mind blown
US 83 was peak Van Halen, and the lowest point for the Clash. Well, except for Cut The Crap.
is it just me or is that cassio riff also the one sampled in the most wanted man in the united states by 100 gecs ?
Precisely
That's why i love Joe Strummer
That Spotify stat goes to show that with all the access to different kinds of music and artists, most people will still only consume what they’re fed.
David Bowie didnt contribute to Dancehall, Okudo Hiroko did.
Tommy Wright being on the cover made me click instantly bro
Yeah Strummer was badass
Wait though, 80's reggae artists chopping up samples? Sure about this bit?
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.
3:49 this keyboard sound gives me flashbacks to terrible "political" conversations with high as fuck-people at campfires :D
20% of songs on Spotify get zero plays? Damn, Cyraxx stole that much music?
I haven’t been streamed.
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.

how many of that 80% have only been listened to one time by the artists ma? Def >1/5 songs are unlistenable, not just on spotify, but in general.
