J.J. Cale at his sublime creamy loveliest? Ohh... yeah, I think so.

Do I care that no-one else gives a shite? Well no of course not, when beholding musical beauty like Your Silent Face strips my mind bare.

You will miss this, if you are a musically derilect imbecile: Japanese Death Jazz. Trust me, it's quite f*ing good... ;-)

Come along, I'm still convinced that the folk on this list have an obscure and interesting variety of Marmite in their musical palettes?

I must confess my interest is purely selfish.
I adore finding new good music... In fact I need it.
Please expose me?
Pathetic please?

This is quite good, turn it up *ear-splitting loud.

Do post interesting tubes. I love interesting music.......

Heh, I love that as it happens.

I fink this thread is going to turn into pure self indulgence...

I like virtually all the tracks off the ambienty Eno B Side of Heroes, but haven't played my dusty old stash of vinyl for a good while, quite nice to find Moss Garden

And the wickedest lyricist I ever heard! From another album I havn't listened in yonks. Pity about the shite sound quality, but worth enduring for the vile brilliance of his wit.
Fabulous blasphemy...
Since their neurosis is what passes for normality...
Beautiful - god bless you YouTube.

I've lost the other thread that got merrily derailed in a random YouTube fest. So here's this 'un instead.

Catdudepeeps, please post your random musical (non-folk) tubicles here for delectisisation and musical informisation...

Whatever happened to Old School...? It's all big arses and bling now. But there's still some real rythm poets out there. This all new I recently discovered slick classy noise

Ain't she de'lovely? If I were gay this would seduce... Honey, honey, honey

And recent apocalyptic dreamings posted on this very list, send me back yet again to this. The most excruciatingly and impossibly exquisite Louange à l'éternité de Jésus From the Quartet at the End of Time. Sigh....

Subject: RE: You-Tubes: The Good The Bad and The Ugly
From: Sleepy Rosie

As an amatuer singer, I've been told that my voice is "very pure, beautiful and clear", which of course is jolly nice to hear an awl that.

Objectively however, I can hear both the qualities of my voice alongside it's limitations: meaning I can see that I have plenty of 'prettiness/light' but lack enough 'dirt/earth' for my own taste.

I dunno wht I can do about that, except possibly run with what stregths I may have...

But then I've read on this same forum, that pure and lovely voices, just aint interesting for folk song. They are dull. And as a listener, though I probably sit somewhere in the middle, I do well understand that complaint.

For as a listener, I'd probably be more interested in a more rough yet innovative vocal expression, than a classically 'lovely' one.

Errgh! Thorticles?

All the world's queer, Sleepy Rosie, save thee and me - and I'm not so sure about thee... :-)

I think Maddy's voice on the early Steeleye albums was very pure and clear and quite delightful but - as the cunning D el G has intimated - it's all personal taste in the end.

Hi Sleepy Rosie

Pete Ryder

Just posted it on the Manners thread.

Did you pick up the Pagan-ish album yet? Pick up 'Lionize' as well - 25 years of live music at the White Lion.

Cheers

Comments on the cheese rolling vid are utterly hysterical. But I like the ref to the evidently more manly Gloustershire fest best,

Here I'm treating YouTube as a singaround basically. I've always been troubled by notions of self-promotion which, in folkish terms, can be anything from judging oneself somehow qualified to sing a song in a singaround to having the audacity to make and promote your own CD/CD-R. On You Tube the critics are honest, often quite brutally so, which makes a change from the mutual sycophancy that typifies myspace, but video owners at least have the option of removing comments should things get nasty. This is something I never do myself, enjoying that aspect of YouTube as much as any other. A good example might be http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=993m0yRR0bg - which is a wee film I made of the annual Cheese Rolling in Chester which, for whatever reason, has stimulated some choice comments, though none of them directed at the film or its maker - or http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YVzsWVuDMm0 - my al fresco Long Lankin which at one point is dismissed as pretentious shite.

Not only must the lowly folk-singer be his own agent, but also his own critic; YouTube helps one objectify oneself in a certain respect, to help see ourselves as others see us, and to perhaps draw that awareness into a wider appreciation of what might well be a more collectively agreed criteria, depending, of course, on any number of variables, or foibles, or just the plain crankiness that might compel one to do it in the first place.

There's been quite an extensive discussion on the "Folk Club Manners" thread, about what constitutes either a worthwhile decent performance, or indeed an inexcusable and dreadful performance.

But without given examples, such a discussion can appear confusing, especially to an outsider or the uninitiated.

Some posters have begun to helpfully illustrate this debate by offering tentative examples of what might or might not be suitable in a folk venue.

I wonder if members here, would be willing to post links of what they consider to be worthwhile, excellent, poor, dire etc. (all dependent on a specific hypothetical context of course.)
