i remember kula shaker getting a lot of flak in melody maker and nme back in the day. crispian mills (the lead singer) was a real figure of fun, there were upper middle class trust fund hippie jibes aplenty. tbh they kinda passed me by. that 303 track doesn't set my world alight though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh i just made this thread for a laugh "govinda" is more the song you want. kula shaker guy sang on a prodigy track, and in an album they put out in 2006 or so, strangefolk, there's a nice song where they borrow the bassline from climbatize |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i know govinda, that was their big hit... i quite liked narayan on fat of the land but i don't think it's an album that aged well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not sure why they decided to do it, but it seems to be done with love |

My brother had that album I kind of liked it when I was about 15 I used to sing some of it with my Mate in PE lessons |
||||||||
|

yeah govida that's the one I used to sing |

yeah trust fund faux hippies is exactly what they were |

i always found the "but he grew up rich!" crap to be irritating. i first heard kula shaker in, like, 2000 or something. i had no idea the lead singer was rich. i actually didn't even know what the fuck his name was; wikipedia wasn't really a thing until a few years later. then i find that out, along with some fracas about a troll comment he said to an interviewer, and i thought... whatever. govinda, tattva, and others were amazing to me in high school. i remember in 2006, one of the first times i tried acid, i wanted to hear kula shaker. it had literally been years since i'd put them on; just sprung out there. then i google them on the net and find out they'd just announced they were reforming, like, a few days ago i could go on, but he grew up rich, and you've made up your mind already innit if you want someone easier to accept, try their bassist, alonza bevan, seems quite chill |

a month or two back i got food poisoning, ran out the store, bought tea and jell-o. i used to drink coffee every day -- in the morning, then more at work -- but i've stuck with tea, since. it's much kinder on my bowel |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it didn't really bother me that he was rich, maybe his fascination with orientalism was a bit suspect and contrived to fit in with a fashion conscious image of the time, but what bands weren't them days? but really I never thought more much more than that, I certainly don't begrudge him being aristocratic, the trust fund hippies remark was jus ta bit of a laugh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
having said that though, I think the class system looms much larger in England than it does it America, I mean I wasn't hyper aware of it when I was 15, but the name Crispian definitely is quite rare around here |

if i had to criticize, there is the feeling like they're recycling what the beatles did with meditation and krishna and whatever. but, fuck it, the beatles are long gone, may as well let someone else have it i know it's a bit of laugh, but i feel like so many people are introduced to kula shaker this way, and as such, walk in with a bias; never get to enjoy it. i guess my previous point was saying: i heard it without any context, and i loved the music in and of itself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah in reality no one really noticed, the class system was never a barrier to good art, I mean most of my fave comedians like monty python were Oxbridge graduates |

when i was into kula shaker, i was also super into lorenna mckennitt. back to my tangent about vocal harmony being a big part of my metaphor that welt ran away with |

when i was ten, lol. i had no idea who the fuck jesus was. remember some girl who'd moved up from the south had me over for a playdate, and she says: can i tell you a secret? uh, sure. "i believe jesus loves us and died for our sins." she showed me a picture of jesus she kept hidden under her bed. not sure what to do, not sure who the fuck jesus was, or even what sin was -- i just said, yes, i believe that too. good song tho, operator |

i between, a summer camp counselor would play corona's and of the nite to get us to sweep up the cabin faster. i have to say, there is a definite parallel. de dannan was usually more just celtic fiddle stuff but "half set in harlem" was a strange musical genetic experiment of an album. i think i should put that on again sometime soon. been years since i've listened to it, even operator. i'd peg it at 5-10 years maybe de dannan is reforming (presuming they ever quit) |

I liked how i wrote elastic man by the fall when i was kid as it it has stupid lyrics you could annoy your parents with and when I was about 12 this, cos it had swearing in it |

I only really listened to whatever brother listened to in his room, I wasn't very interested in music until I was about 15 or something |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
extremely deep interest in music from the start. if i think back to the very bedrock of my memories, it is listening to beach boys while building things with legos, six years old. legos were sort of a mental escape into another world, music was too, together was even more fun |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also remember asking about the strange noise; being told it was a theremin |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked the sounds computers and keyboards made but I had no interest in music really, I guess I was extremely emotionally immature or something, I did like pink Floyd when my brother listened to them and stuff like that, but I never really made an effort to listen to anything by myself for a while |

yes great track, |

i got my first CD player when i was six; my first CD was the Beach Boys compilation "Made In the USA" before that, i had a fischer-price tape recorder, with the MC microphone. brown. on it, i had a beach boys tape, along with the two beatles compilations with the stairwell my sister owned red while i owned blue. but we were always trading them off to each other from there, this other fing i wrote when i was four or five, i was sitting on the front steps, playing around with a fischer-price tape recorder. it had a microphone on a cord, so you could pick up and sing along to the music. i noticed that it made a strange sound when i held the microphone up close the speaker. "what's that sound?" i asked my dad. "that's microphone feedback," he replied. well, i knew what a microphone was, but... "what's feedback?" i asked. this time, he didn't answer immediately. instead, he got this look on his face -- distant; frustrated. almost pained. i would come to know this look well, over the years. finally, he answered: "an amplifier makes a sound louder, and when you put the microphone up to the speaker, it amplifies the same sound over and over, until what you're hearing is not actually a real sound, but the sound of the amplifier itself." the idea that this strange sound was created by the unknown mechanisms that made my tape player work was absolute magic to me. it was no longer just a plastic box; it became something to explore. inside this black box lies mysterious mechanisms that define what actually makes a sound "real." years later, i would come to realize that his answer was as profound as it was accurate. it had quite an effect on me. i tried to pry the tape player open. i was sternly told not to.... because prying will snap the plastic. if you want to take the tape player apart, you need to take out t |
