Hey MARKY,

unfortunately a lot of kids today think that pop music began in 1991 with NIRVANA... For them, MICHAEL JACKSON was always that weird snow white guy and computers exists since the beggining of the world, heh...

Yes, we are the old wave now! Pitiful!

Peace, old friend

zeca azevedo, just another old guy

[zeca azevedo]

Hey MARKY, 1 more question 4 U,

do you imagine yourself listenin' and dancin' to DISCO songs when you're seventy years old or more?

Peace,

zeca azevedo, just another guy with grey hair

Hi Zeca,

It's probably gonna take me until I'm 70 years old to listen to all the Disco I've bought since Amoeba Records opened here in L.A.!!! (I'm exaggerating a bit--BUT I'm waaaay behind).

Since I've been a member of this site, I've discovered so much stuff I'd never heard of and began acquiring as much of it as I could afford. It's truly amazing that so much good music was released in that relatively short stretch of time that Disco ruled.

So, in answer to your question-- as long as I can move I'll be looking for tunes that "make my feet wanna dance". My tagline is from an early 1982 song by a group called Motion. It's on the Tojo label from Canada (probably an Italian import cause all the names seem to sound Italian).

Furthermore, since today's dance music bores me so thoroughly, I've gotta turn to the past for kicks.

Dear Markydefad!
And don´t forget to mention that the whole
HouseMusic and HipHopScene is living with
all these wonderful samples from the past.
And there are also these awful, terrible
coverversions, sounding worse than the
originals...Britney(Who?) and so on...
Cosmic Love & Kisses From SIRIUS & DARKTUNES
The truth is, there IS no more new music
anymore!!!

I'm glad you said it first. :lol: Like MixMachine, between this thread and "Turn the Beat..." I was like, oh gawd, I guess I'm as the British would say, "PAST IT!" :sad:

[Jeff H]

it goes something like "toot toot yeah beep beep"

Good god... my head is going to explode. :roll:

Isn't this as much a known classic as anything by the Beatles or the Supremes? Or is that just my/our narrow disco world view?

Hey MARKY,

I'm imagining you with 70 years old dancin' to the TOOT TOOT BEEP BEEP (LOL)! I'll be right there with you in your party, rocking in my wheel chair (LOL)! We will be just a bunch of mad old guys! (LOL)

zeca azevedo, just rocking his chair

When I first joined the boards I went through several old threads. There was a question from someone who had to be in our age group. He asked about a song that he remembered from the 70s that had a chorus that went "oh, oh, oh". Several of the board veterans were able to help this cultural void of a person by deciphering this into "More, More, More".....
Now think back to the winter/spring of '76, when "More, More, More" crossed over to the Top 40. Was there a man, woman, child or amoeba who didn't at least know the title of the song? You couldn't escape it! So if one of our contemporaries could ask a question like this, then I'm not surprised when the young'uns pose amazing queries.

Mark and Sirius:
I'm going way off the subject of the original post, but did either of you read yesterday's "USA Today" article on the slump in record sales? One of you could have written this article! It's nice to know we aren't the only ones that have these feelings about today's music scene.

Here's the article!

"Record sales really are stuck in a downward groove" By Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY

In record sales, last year's down is starting to look up.

Mid-year totals point to a far sharper decline than the 3% dip in 2001, the first no-growth year since Nielsen SoundScan began tabulating sales in 1991.

As of June 23, retailers had sold 299.2 million albums, compared with 331.4 million during the same period in 2001, a 9.7% drop. The total for albums and singles: 305.7 million, a 12% drop. The picture darkens against figures from 2000. This year's haul trails by 18% against the 372.6 million copies tallied by June 25, 2000.

"What we saw at the end of 2001 isn't as alarming as what we're seeing now," says Geoff Mayfield, Billboard's director of charts. "Last year's decline had more to do with the cassette dying out than anything else. Except for Easter, there hasn't been a week where business was up over the same week in 2001, and that's far more disturbing than the decline of one configuration."

Despite predictable sales spikes, starting with this week's expected opening figure of 500,000-plus for rapper Nelly's Nellyville, a recovery by year's end, even to a break-even point with 2001, "is a long shot," Mayfield says. "The easiest thing to blame is CD burning, but we may be fighting more than one demon."

Mayfield compares the current nose-dive to the early '80s, when a dreary economy, rapid extinction of the eight-track and a dearth of fresh sounds contributed to a pop music crisis.

Evidence that the lack of compelling music is a culprit today can be found in the proliferation of oldies on non-oldies radio stations. "I'm getting the sense that programmers think the old stuff is better than the new stuff," says Airplay Monitor editor Sean Ross. "During the top-40 doldrums of '92, you had records by Nirvana, Snoop Dogg and others selling without airplay. There was a feeling that something was going on. There's not that feeling this year."

More indications of a slump:

* Fewer runaway hits. Eminem's The Eminem Show is the 2002 leader with 3.3 million copies, trailed by Alan Jackson's Drive with 2.2 million and three discs at 2 million each: the ninth volume of Now That's What I Call Music!, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Celine Dion's A New Day Has Come. Only 20 albums this year have registered sales of 1 million or more, compared with 34 at this time last year.

* Softer sales at the top. Billboard's top 10, typically stacked with brand names that serve as retail magnets, shows a weakening punch. In early May, when Big Tymer's Hood Rich entered the chart at No. 1, the top 10 accounted for sales of 1 million albums. The comparable week in 2001 yielded a top-10 tally of 1.8 million.

The industry's growing conservatism and reluctance to gamble on innovative artists or pour dollars into promotion make recovery unlikely anytime soon.

"There's definitely been a scaling back and a tendency among labels to believe they can save their way to prosperity, which isn't likely to happen," Ross says.

[markydefad]

Hi Spice_Baez!!!!

(Gosh, my mind is spinning conjuring up Joan Baez as a Spice Girl!!!!)

I think I know the answer to your question.

"Without Your Love" by Cut Glass from 1980 (20th Century Records). The flip side was "Alive with Your Love", also a hit.


"No, I'm never gonna make it without your love, I'm not even gonna try." Right?
