[MUSIQUE] Funk

[gbougard]

Je suis tombe sur cette interview du legendaire Nick Siano dont voici un extrait

I’m hesitating to use the word disco to describe these spaces because I know you’re not keen on it. Can you explain why you don’t like the term?

Because when I started there was no term ‘disco’. What happened was that disco – the term and how it was utilised – was built around making money. That was the whole reason they wanted to label it, put it on records and sell it. They made money off that term and it eventually ruined it too. What they did was… You’ve seen the old Atlantic records that say ‘DISCO’?

Yeah.

So they took these record covers that were selling 300,000 copies without anyone hearing them, and they started putting all their garbage in there because they would sell blind. And they fucked people and it killed the genre, so I get really mad at what the term was used for. It was used to make money and ultimately to cripple the industry. And radio never liked the disco scene because it was disc jockeys in clubs playing the records and making them popular, not them. They lost their payola. It was a big deal. That’s why the whole attack on disco and the whole movement to kill disco, “disco sucks”, was done by a radio disc jockey. Very calculated.

So given that you started before the term disco had been invented, what did you call the music at that time?

R&B. I remember it well: “WBLS, the home of R&B.” Now R&B means a different thing, but that was the chart that you’d look at in Billboard, too: the R&B chart.

quand on tombe dans des sables mouvants, il est conseille de s'agiter le moins possible... sinon, on s'enfonce inexorablement. capice?

que dire, sinon que c'est super bien orchestre et que le refrain est une tuerie absolue?

On a overdose sur ces cuts a leur sortie car elle squattaient le hit parade d'Europe 1 (c'etait avant les radios libres...) et c'etait de bon ton de prendre la pose et de detester, mais mine de rien, ca a mieux vieilli que des trucs des annees 90, ou la, j'ai plus de probleme a supporter les sons et les arrangements.

CECI DIT, c'est loin d'etre mon trip, les Bee Gees, mais si ca te plait, loin de moi l'idee de critiquer tes gouts, tes orientations et autres, cher White Trash. Not my style. Je suis plutot du genre tolerant concernant la musique. Donc ne te gene pas, partage avec nous ta passion pour Patrick Hernandez et les Bee Gees. Mais tolere que nous passions notre chemin si tu mets du Sheila, meme si c'est produit par le grand Nile Rogers...

bonne soiree
