"big, dumb, fun"
that's what I think about that song, demands to be played loud.
Can any of you musically inclined tell me what exactly Korn is doing...technically for their sound? It's like I know I'm hearing something different but I can't place it.

I, for one, would like to see you fight Bob Balaban, TE.

I also like that Eddie Money song.  The Ronnie Spector vocals are totally affecting.

 I think daveB from Oakland is actually Julie from Cincinnati who is actually TL.


 Your  thoughts?

I couldn't possibly be from Cincinnati. I'm from Oakland!

A song I came across a year or so ago I really like is "Smith - Baby It's You". That intersection of soul-blues and rock really fascinates me. Is there more of it?

Wow. Morrissey was a lot more attractive in 1969.

[Joke. Explanation can be provided if necessary ... ]

But yeah, if you like soul music with a hard-charging rhythm section, check out the people who recorded for Stax records in the 1960s. Otis Redding. The Bar-Kays. Booker T. & the MGs. Rufus & Carla Thomas. Sam & Dave. All that stuff. It was a good time for southern soul. And ampersands.

I been slowly collecting the Stax stuff in my blues-R&B folder
I found out about that stuff tracking down Wu-Tang samples, RZA used a ton of those artists.

But what I'm kind of interested in is (if it's out there) is the more rocking half of that the Electric Prunes type stuff.

You know who can help your taste along...

WFMU's musical programming.  They have "rock"-friendly programs, and they're leaps and bounds better than this stuff.

Unless I have a really split personality, which I'm not ruling out because how would I know that, and I'm doing things I don't know I'm doing, then you are wrong. But if it makes people like me better, then believe it.

Isn't this post kind of the same as some other post about listening?

southern soul is insanely powerful and much better than the northern soul movement that i try every year to get into, but fail miserably.  maybe one day.

you're going to throw the electric prunes onto that playlist?!  trembling eagle, you're breaking down barriers.

Korn uses drop-d tuning in most (all?) of their songs. That's what gives it that sludgy bass sound.

Electric Prunes are on my "Misc - soul/r&b" playlist along with Tom Scott's "Today" and the Beatles cover of "Baby it's You" are I guess Rock but I feel fit more smoothly with more groovy stuff.

I think they all use 7 string guitars so it's actually some other weird low tuning. Drop D isn't low enough for those dudes.

Also, I think they record the bass while the bass player is falling down a flight of stairs.

Led Zep, man that stuff is kinda awesome lol, I know how that must sound. Awesome groove, can you guys suggest more songs/groups that are that groovy/bluesy?
