Seg Max Kult Klassik™: I.

A wink at all the francophones that don't understand why we are writing in english.

Thy is cassé.

But before we start:Pitchfork doesn't understand that blogging is not a musical critic medium. Blogging is a medium for critic music. It's still a nice wee read.

So yeah, introducing the brother of Zamboni Effect™: Seg Max Kult Klassik™. So I guess I was going to post another Zamboni Effect™, however, PTF didn't forget anything in his last 3 post.

Enter Seg Max Kult Klassik. Revisitings some diamonds and gems of the past. This is great stuff hailed by the best critic: Time.

Not the Time magasine. you idiot.

I. French and British Slanged and Seminal Hip Hop.

MC Solaar - Nouveau Western. Serge Gainsbourg's Bonnie and Clyde loop, one of the few musical artist able to make such a interesting link between American military foreign policies and Hollywood cultural globalisation. Also, this is only the tip of the iceberg called MC Solaar. He did to rap what Coltrane did to jazz. Klassik i say !

IAM - Je Danse Le Mia. Club track of IAM. It smells Marseille. It's dancy, it's funny. Just like Nouveau Western's MC Solaar, this is the tip of the iceberg. The iceberg being one the most massive of all french rap bands. Worked beats on versatile flow about french poverty or science fiction. Think about Wu Tang, but in France. They worked together also. Klassik i say !


Kano - P's and Q's. Don't you like this beat ? This flow ? This I'm-Underground-and-better-you stance ? I think it's the best song of all grime i listened yet. Just perfect. (future) Klassik I Say !

II. The Replacements. or The Mats. or Tim. or Please to Meet Me. or All is Nothing.

One of the best indie bands of all time. Where indie signified only one thing: not being able to get a contract with a record compagny. OR: not being able to please the record compagny once with the contract. Simple, humble, rockin and poppin. Cousins to Hüsker Dü, contemporaries to Sonic Youth and the whole hardcore scene. This is just good stuff. Klassik I say !

The Replacements - Left of the Dial

The Replacements - The Ledge

The Replacements - Alex Chilton


III. From Brain Punk to What The Fuck Punk.

Talking Heads - Drugs. Final track of the klassik ( i say!) Fear of Music. This is one of the album to get on your shelf. This is the track you ought to adore for being such a nice pop minimalist expirement, it didn't age. Talking Heads might be the best band ever. (obvious) Klassik I say !

Wire - Pratice Makes Perfect. True title. Fuckin' nice buildup. Wire is what your brain want. One of the punk band that got away with synths and managed to create post punk along with Television. Ich Bein ein Klassik !

The Fall - The Classical. so charimastic, so raw, so politically incorrect but correct about politics. This song is a inner debate that turns into a nasty fight and everybody is punching everybody. It is a rugby match between intellectual drunks. Its the rage of Manchester under Thatcher, it's the violence of a new music. You hear Pavement ? I hear almost everything after post-punk. It is the Classical, they say ( and I say).



Celtic FC vs Manchester United tomorow. You'll never walk alone Bhoys !
