I would think it's laughable that so many prominent board members are trying to pigeonhole blues into being this one specific, uninteresting thing for the sake of saving their own favored trash genres, but you guys managed to whip a bunch of votes on your side, so I guess it's just aggravating and depressing to watch.
Instead of getting angry, have you tried having good Survivor opinions? Maybe just once?
Wasn't aware I was prominent enough to have my opinions monitored to be considered consistent garbage.
Guess I'll go listen to Daddy Yankee and 100 Gecs until I gaslight myself into liking them.

I drove 14 hours from Memphis to the outer banks...
We made a pit stop up there last September and stayed the night in Kill Devil Hills. I hadn't been there since the 1980's. I was kind of bummed out over how every square inch of beachfront is now built upon. House after house after house with almost no distance between them. It used to be a house here or there and lots of privacy and space. Now the only way to get that is to drive south down to like Bodie Island Lighthouse. Also, now you have to purchase ferry tickets in advance which makes day tripping down to Okracoke or Cape Lookout difficult unless planned and paid for. Dicks. But have fun.
Yeah I bummed around here in currituck/Corolla/kitty hawk for about 6 months between undergrad and grad school. Very chill, undeveloped area. We're in nags head for a week - only been here half a day but it totally reminds me of the Florida panhandle. Touristy shiz and pastel cookie cutter houses and stuff. Way different than when I was here 10+ years ago. Still not as bad as 30A yet.
I drove 14 hours from Memphis to the outer banks last night and started a beach vacation today and so I'm behind, don't know where this threads at, but I gotta share.
Look, I'm a reggae defender and anyone who is all "there's only bob Marley" is totally ignorant and if I had more time I'd post a ton of videos of Gary Clark Jr playing reggae. (kidding. But dub rules and I'm putting that in the reggae umbrella)
I digress. I'm going on no sleep and at a beach bar and there's shitty white guy reggae shit playing on the radio. Think a band that ripped off a slightly Stoopid ripoff. Anyway, shaggy "angel" comes on and my first thought is to come to this thread and say reggae gets a bad a name bc so many people think of shiz like that when someone says "reggae". And while I'm having this thought my father in law says to the table: "do y'all like shaggy? I really like shaggy"
So whatever, vote out reggae. But listen to super ape as penance.
It's reggaeton v blues, bud.
About reggaeton btw.:
Reggaeton and reggae have nothing to do with each other (saw some people comment onto if there is a difference or if dancehall falls under reggae or not so here we go). Well, apart from the name being very samey; it originates from back in the day when reggaeton was way more rudimentary and not so clubby in the late 80's / early 90's. Reggaeton would come out of dancehall (see under) mixed with hiphop influences but in Puerto Rico and not Jamaica (like dancehall). The classic dem bow beat even came later.
Reggae came out of ska in the 1950's, dub would come out of reggae when dj's started experimenting with vinyl's of it (in the 70's). Dancehall, similarly to dub, also comes out of experimentation of dj's back in the 70's but a bit later than dub.

I just did a 5 day hiking trip in the Banks from Okracoke to Nag's Head. If you want to see some trippy shit drive down to Hatteras and stop in the town of Rodanthe. I think it's the most outward facing point of the Banks and a lot of houses are being swallowed up by the ocean. It's like a graveyard. Pretty wild.

for those who don't know, here's a fun mind blowing music moment for your day. the "four on the floor" beat, which became the foundation for disco/house/techno, was invented by drummer Earl Young of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes.
just past 45 seconds you can hear the first time this beat shows up on record:

Reggae has been a major topic of discussion in previous threads and I had a funny anecdote.

DUCK OR GTFO
Seriously though. We missed each other by a few days and could have gotten trashed and made them play good reggae.

i don't know what to tell ya bud, we're not even TALKING about reggae anymore. if you wanted to talk about reggae you should have done it yesterday and not gone on vacation.

I saw this in that BBC documentary about the origin of house and techno. Cannot seem to find a link to it tho, it's only a few years old but so interesting.

Pensacola Beach is my favorite north Panhandle beach, but I personally love 30-A. Blue Mountain Beach, Seagrove, Seaside, Seacrest, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, Grayton Beach basically anything between Miramar/San Destin and Panama City. There's cookie cutter in many of those communities (upscale but by design), though Alys all white structures are kind of badass. Food scene there in southern Walton County is really excellent.

Real shame we didn't time it right. Every bartender at every beach bar down Croatan woulda loved a couple drunk dads asking for PBR and King tubby deep cuts
Because it sounds like and was influenced by 90’s r&b. Ask the artists themselves, they’ll tell you.
You're avoiding the question. Who is saying all of the above are considered indie.
Oh no, the indie part doesn’t have anything to do with the first part. I was talking about a bunch of stuff I hear that is definitely r&b, they just don’t call it that anymore .
incinnati Ohio babeyyyy
