Barry Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Barry, just had to Googie John Lydon to find out who the f*ck he is? What the f*ck as Johnny Rotten got to do with anything, lol. Ay Oop Dave. Lydon (Rotten) was derided for this.... ...after years of being the original f*ck you punk, he goes and takes money for a butter advert!? But it sits with what he's done all along, McClarens legacy. I was likening his early incarnation as 'Johnny Rotten', the clued up punk - to the Young Soulie. ...and the later butter advertising John Lydon to the 50 something Soulie. At the end of the day people may have thought that he sold out, he didn't - he was just as clever as he ever was. Any clearer Dave? 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Back Street Blue Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Just to reiterate, they weren't records that I considered tosh, they were those that either constantly crop up as being examples of what 'bad' Northern is, or ones that fell out of favour very quickly and don't get back on playlists because, in a lot of cases, they are considered not soulful enough for todays scene. Half of them came out of my favourites box! Wasn't implying that you decried them all. Knew what you meant having read #112 on the "sounds that die thread".

Steve L Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 If the forty somethings could play their mid-tempo slosh to full houses every week we wouldn't be having this debate. The events lists on here tell you what the majority of people want to hear when they go out and without them you have no one to DJ to. I can remember attending clubs when the manufactured stuff and "funk" created an influx of the new wave of jellybeans and drainpipes brigade so you ended up with a split club. We sat down right through their stuff and waited for our dj to come on and when he did, they sat down 'til IL and Tavares came back on. Can't see folk our age putting up money for that kind of event albeit that the 80's/90's stuff may be of a better pedigree. Having said that there was always elitism and from my earliest memories of going to clubs I recall that it wasn't cool to dance to certain records so you didn't even if you secretly liked them for fear of looking like a div but the difference is that at 50+ you aren't as susceptible to peer pressure as you were as a teenager. I've been listening to the Butch's tapes on another thread and Pete's podcast of so called tosh has more good dance records in it by far. And what's all that talkin' over the records about ? No wonder me and my mates f***ed it off in '82 Be interesting to see if the 80's & 90's discoveries are given up by today's 40 somethings in favour of newer sounds in 10 years time. Can we get rid of this misconception thats trotted out on here time & time again - not all places that dont play top 500 oldies play mid tempo "tosh" as you call it - try the burnley all nighter - up tempo dance music all night The butch tape from 91 (whilst top quality soul) is not necessarily indicative of what he plays out at Lifeline or the 100 club which is good fantastic dance music How many records discovered in the 80s/90s and even beyond do you know and have listened to out??

Popular Post manus Posted January 25, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2013 It’s good to see younger faces coming through but I don’t think anything needs to be handed over maybe just a little mutual respect could be in order. It does seem to be fairly acceptable these days to ridicule anyone over 50 who likes oldies and is fat , bald or whatever. When I was young in the early 70s we always respected anyone who had been around longer than us unless they gave us reason not to and before long we would be the ones taking youngsters under our wing. I always saw the Soul scene as having old fashioned values in that respect — you’d paid your dues and maybe respect for your knowledge and experience could be expected from the newly converted. And yes I’ve met a fair few who don’t deserve respect and lack any real Soul history and maybe only attended the historic venues once or twice and bullshit about their involvement especially to younger people — but there’s plenty of “old folk” out there deserving of a wee bit of respect for longevity and passion. And from that perspective maybe the younger ones coming in need to earn respect but that doesn’t mean we can’t give them understanding while they find their feet and try to remember how it was for us as youngsters instead of taking the grumpy old man approach. As for the music I thought the mid to late 80s /early 90s were amongst the best years for Soul music in this country with the emergence of the Up North weekenders and some fantastic Soul nights in London — maybe not for the out and out traditionalist but a feast for some Soul fans.

A fair proportion of what I hear played out and about now as new discoveries isn't. Hi Phil The problem lies within the statement ... " Northern soul " and soul in general . Northern soul is a dance scene ... soul music is not a scene ,but a way of describing how a song is sang ... preferably from the heart and meaningful . For better or worse ..the scene of today has become far more diverse since the days of Wigan and Mecca were squabbling about what is and what is'nt a "proper Northern " sound ? We've gone thru some changes since then and encompassed a very broad spectrum of what is or is'nt actually soulful ... Funk Jazz funk Rn B Popcorn Cross -over C&W All have left their mark on the scene and are evident in most venues up and down the country ,which is probably why we get so many " this is sh**e " comments It' still a case of , horses for courses and something going on every week to suit your particular taste .. so find what works and go there . If your frequenting venues that cause you to have to make comments about the music on offer not being " northern soul " ,then maybe your going to the wrong places 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
