Subject: RE: Hip Hop (Go-Go)
Sorry this thread is long dead, but I was cleaning out my mail box and realized I forgot to reply to this. The list of Go-Go artists actually starts with Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers. Chuck Brown started Go-Go by extending the percussion break sections of R&B tunes, not unlike what hip-hop Dj's did, but he used a live band (This is a huge oversimplification but it gives you an idea). You should be able to find some of his stuff available on-line. Other bands that come to mind but are probably harder to find outside the DC area are; The Backyard Band, Experience Unlimited (E.U.), Ju Ju & Sugarbear,and Rare Essence, Little Benny, Maisha & The Hip Huggers etc.
Hope this helps,
Sorry It took so long, I can't keep up w/ y'all.
BTW I'm really enjoying the new Uri Caine Bedrock 3 CD (I think it's new), very cool. Has anybody else heard this?

You need to listen to more Kit Clayton. :)

Subject: Bad music/noise
"There is a question that I'm left with as a result of this heavily
discussed issue: What is the differentiation between "bad music" and
"noise?" I call a lot of what my roommate listens to (alt-rock, faux metal,
etc) "bad music," but he calls a lot of what I listen to "noise."
Why is the undesirable sound that he listens to bad music in my mind and
not the same true for him (not just him but a great many people)? I'm
curious." - sorry if I'm firing off a redundancy here, but I think what
your roommate means is that your tastes lean toward sounds which do not
even qualify as "music," but are "just noise." I've gotten that one a few
times, and hey, it's a step up from dismissing it as "devil music." I'm
guessing that the whole Cage/musique concrete thing is lost on him, and
hope for your sake that you do not share a single room.

Subject: RE: Hip Hop (Go-Go)
I would have to say that my favorite Go-Go group is the Junkyard
Band. A few other really good groups are Rare Elegance, Huck-a-Bucks, and
the Northeast Groovers. I have a pretty good Go-Go comp, but I don't have
it with me and I can't recall the title right now. It is a pretty common
comp to find in the DC area. I haven't tried looking outside of DC since
most people that I've spoken with who are into hip-hop, who never lived in
DC, have never heard of go-go.

I love this genre, no hate involved! In fact, most of the house-related
stuff I spin is dub-influenced...
