What music means to me 2
June 11th 2010 03:55
Currently, you will find me happily bopping about in my typing chair (which is now a rather uncomfy solid wooden thing that I painted avocado green in my late teens for some extraordinary reason - but used to be a real typing chair in the past two - one being broken by bouncing about TOO much to those Paradise Boys, ho hum…) to tracks by mostly San Francisco artists - such as Madelia, Astral, Veil Veil Vanish, Paradise Boys…
How come I have taken such an interest in SF music, yet do not live in California? Well…
My current open-minded stance of playing anything 'good n local' follows my branching out from playing only a certain style of SF music - that I term 'emo-goth' but is supposedly called something else - but where did THAT come from?
You can blame a guy by the name of Boone Spooner - I had been playing a couple of his CDs for a year or so and suddenly thought it was time to try something new - and maybe if this dude played such great music, other SF locals would too… I taste-tested and I gobbled!
Boone came about from poking a button at his father Bill's website circa 2002. I had been playing Bill Spooner and Vince Welnick for a while, after having played the old Tubes band music for almost a decade - this stemmed from following Fee's voice. I thought it sounded jolly good and wondered why he didn't have 'his own band' when I heard him do background vox on Richard Marx's CD… then I discovered that indeed he was in a band…
So, where did Richard Marx come from? Well, I am not quite sure… I know it followed on from a spell of playing Mark Holden and all things Aussie/70's, though…
