I see Stormzy has been trending on twitter because of

Some *******s he said about Theresa May at the Brit awards. This was my favourite tweet.

Well I have been exposed to his music and I have to say it is not for me. Nor Skepta.

Politically I am unsure.

He's no Paul Weller, that's for sure, sw.

Stormzy is just doing what Skepta was doing 15 years ago. He’s a ****.

I don't know who Skepta is, bgm.

Thank you B.

I didn't want to labour the point but I am glad my message is getting through. I spent two nights just last week in the company of PW and I have to see it was magical.

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

I would say that, musically at least, he is rather shít. His rhymes sound somewhat clumsy and contrived.

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

Thank you B.

Does that mean you went to see him two nights in a row? he ain't that good s

[Billy Goat Sverige]

He’s another grime artist, B. I think he’s popular now because they gave him the Mercury music prize last year. Anyway, he was there when grime first started back in the early 2000s. Stormzy is part of this new wave of grime artists that made it popular among the yut of today but it’s just the same **** people were listening to on pirate radio 15 years ago.

Who’s his guitar player?

Who’s his guitar player?

They have eschewed the sacred axe c in favour of a sort of tuneless popping noise created by iPhones.

Have you ever listened to any Davy Graham?

I think that’s dubstep. Grime comes from East London, more specifically the Bow/Poplar/Limehouse areas.

Do you suppose he affects a little head wobble, Ravi Shanker style, when he plays that tune b?

This is what I think of whenever I hear the term 'pirate radio'

One can hear both Belfast Child and When you go away (The Waterboys) in there.

I can't even find that amusing. My anger with 'Belfast Child' is simply too raw. :-|

Yeah, sorry about that :-\

[Burney]

Well that would be because Belfast Child nakedly stole the melody of the beautiful 'She Moves Through The Fair' and turned it into that heap of shíte.

Smelly hippy.

Oh, I used to love old Delbert! As a kid, I didn't know any Windians, much less any of his sort.

Big gayer.

I bet he shouts into a microphone as well. They don’t even bother to sing any more.

:nod: Rinse FM and Deja vu were the main ones.

You always have to go too far, don’t you?

It's no good being all sensitive and precious about that sort of thing though. After all, there's more to music than copyright, isn't there. And if "artists" don't like it and want to make money, they should invest in small, local businesses like dear old Duff McKagan did.

[Burney]

Oh, I used to love old Delbert! As a kid, I didn't know any Windians, much less any of his sort.

Me too. I do seem to remember finding it genuinely funny. Which is odd, as I find Lenny Henry about as funny as removing a sticking plaster these days.

It's just irritating when no-one mentions it, though. Like The Dandy Warhols and 'Bohemian Like You'. Nobody* seemed remotely bothered that they'd simply stolen the music from Brown Sugar.


*With the possible exception of m'learned friends working for whoever owns the Stones' back catalogue these days.

Was any action taken?

I recall they were very much on the case of The Verve with Bittersweet Symphony.

Yes, indeed. Genuinely funny.

I don't know, actually. I can't imagine they wouldn't have sued if they could have.

Oh, I was through the whole Rare Groove and early Hip-Hop eras; long since weary pointing these things out. Thing is, my siblings were my age about fifteen years earlier than me, if you follow, so I had grown up with the radio on all the time playing the "originals".

[Viva Prat Vegas]

They actually borrowed the Taxman riff for three songs, and 'She loves You' once as well.

Ah, an old school quiz. Great fun.

No, no idea, I'm afraid :-(

Wánker.

[SWv2]

To Be Someone?

I also read once that Tube Station in parts could be seen as similar. Start aside I think you probably need a musicians ear to be fully aware of this.

[Ash]

Ah, an old school quiz. Great fun.

No, no idea, I'm afraid :-(

So apart from Start,
To Be Someone is also powered by the Taxman bass groove.
It's Too Bad uses She Loves You on the bridge between chorus and verse.
Non-stop Dancing uses a slightly modified version of the Taxman bassline. What a song that is btw!

Of course, the way to make the Jam sound twice as good is to listen very intently to the bass guitar all the way through. :-) :nod:

here you go, sw, have a musician's ear ...

https://www.whosampled.com/The-Jam/

there are only so many notes and chords, etc...

Yup, there are only twelve notes.

That site uses 'sampled' wrongly though. Playing someone else's tune / riff / progression on actual instruments isn't the same as sampling.

[Peter]

Well that was very very rude indeed. Not acceptable.

They missed out That's Entertainment covered by The Wonder Stuff, arguably the best version of all.

I don't like them Sleaford Mods chaps. Rude.
