Re: [microsound] grindcore & death metal

["scott allison" <lipistal3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yea I agree I love all the grindcore stuff as what the underground hip-hop 
world has a ton to offer. I saw Daleck play in tampa a year ago, they opened 
for a couple of shitty ass elcetro-clash acts, and it was sooo funny, all 
these trendy ass indy rock disco wanna be kids where standing there and had 
absolutly no-idea what the fuck they where seeing, they where totally 
stunned, like deers caught in a cars headlights, what a great show. I dont 
belive in listening to only one kind of music, but I dont think its wrong to 
focus on one type of music either, I general get consumed with someone's 
stuff, like I was addicted to pimmon forever. I think the bottom line for me 
is if the work is creative and outside the drawn lines of complancey, I 
generally will listen to it. Shit i have a sweet tooth for 70's pop and soul 
as well. One recent grindcore show I saw of note was Cavity opening for 
engine down in tampa, engine down is ok,they are a recent tampa band, ok 
stuff, but Cavity killed the house, I think there is something in the water 
in florida because some of the strongest grindcore and idm comes out of that 
state as well some of the worst pop stars. I think the common thread between 
grind and microosund is repetion and a harsh difficult sound palate. Both 
are played out totally differently but they share commonalities or an 
obcession with things extreme, I would love to do a dj set that mixed 
microsound and grindcore, but I dont think anyone would dig it. oh well. I 
dont think anyone digs anything. hehehe.  Actually when I have played out in 
tampa and NY my sets where totally nothing more than microsound played to 
the mindset of a grindcore band, actaully the stuff was really immature and 
just about having fun, its was cool, the last show I did in tampa everyone 
cheered after the set, which meant they had fun. but like i said it was all 
immature and probably wound not appeal to people with complex ego's.
