10 years have crept up and passed us. There have been alot of highs and lows in this board over time and I think now is a great time to post up and share some of your favorite moments / thoughts about the past, present, and the future of music discussion on this board

here's mine

- 9th's post about meeting Pete Rock - playing beats for Jay-Z - long discussion about the transformation of his tastes and his hate / understanding for *shiny suit* music
- AndrewVS (was it him) hard riding for Animal Collective ( and the sea of backlashed that threw him into oblivion)
- The big threads about Phrenology and The Roots/Common *selling out* in those Coke ads
- A fake Gangstarr remix album post that mentioned Questlove being a remixer, which had him call DJ Premier in order to confirm to the answer of crickets on the phone call
- being put onto Nicolay and his Foreign Exchange "Connected" project
- Jay-Z looking at the boards and being hip to this

I know im missing alot of good stuff ( sorry my memory is pretty bad )

I love The Lesson and its still holds alot of weight in terms of me looking for new music and being turned onto new artists but my biggest gripe is the massive amounts of shockposting and thread derailing as of lates. Come on now folks, lets keep the train on tracks.

Happy Holidays and I wish ya'll a great New Years

PS ?uestlove we miss you man

I was in lurker mode during that period, but I remained amused at the pure insanity of it.

Great records....original sound.

Thanks to him. I guess he's not around anymore...haven't seen him in a while. There were lots of laughs when he posted. He was like a young jedi....passionate, impatient.

You don't think I could have put you on to Angst or Slovenly (BTW, pick up Meat Puppets "Up on the sun" while youre at it, you may hate their other records but you'll love this one, trust me EDIT:And "Mirage". My issues with the 80's production values on that album should matter less to you)? Couldn't have chimed in on the Stooges?

If the time is wasted, it's because you underrate us...

Or do you just lurk?

And yeah, neglected the SST catalogue for years now and I'm just now starting to do something about it.

My initial reply was mostly snark.

I have contributed some stuff to the reviews but never posted in the forums, I just read them (just recently actually, othe4rwise, I would have pointed it out before since you been grumpy as fuck on here for a long time) to get a sense of what type of people his readers are since it's been my favourite review-site on the net since as far as I can remember and this is despite his Miles Davis reviews and his obviously rockist views. The thing that initially attracted me to his site was that he loved the Cows which I didn't think anyone else except me did when I started out on the internet. However, I also noticed that he lacked an anti-metal bias and, *especially*, that he was funny as fuck, like genuinely ROFLMA>O or whatever funny...

And no, I'm not really following you on there or anything, I hope you understand that; it was just an observation...

I think he does have rockist views, but he's also aware of it himself. So it gives some of his more extreme thoughts a bit of self-conscious irony (in a good way).

I still think it's great how he can make a fart joke in one sentence, and the next sentence, say something really insightful about the music.

Most of the folks on the board have a taste for more extreme music than me, but I learn a hell of a lot reading there.

You should join in there.

^^^^ three of jeflee's greatest (unarchived) hits. That last one was sheer hilarity, worthy of publication despite jef's idiosyncratic prose style.

from my own keyboard: Great Moustaches of Rock, Songs About Beer, It's the Latest Dance Craze, Q&A: Jamaican Music

AFKAP's had too many good posts, but most of the really controversial ones I sit out on or just interject.

The only two real beefs I've ever had on here: 1) Tek getting angry b/c I didn't like his guitar solo, and said why; 2) somebody whose handle I can't remember telling me never to post about Irish music again b/c I included the Pogues as part of the UK folk scene when asked to compare and contrast the major players in the UK and American roots scenes.

as far as I'm concerned, maxxx's greatest diss ever was about how one poster's mom called him Scope b/c his cum was so minty fresh on her gums... wish I could remember it exactly; somebody had it in his sig for a longass time afterward.

dissident chords!

?uest's post after Doyle Bramhall hit him with a Lomax prison field recording. It was more than cool to see posters getting excited about old shit that's close to my musical heart for a minute there.

DarkStar's original post - 'The Bob Problem' about getting people to realize the breadth of reggae beyond just The Bob. There were some good followup ones (like 'White Folks & Reggae' which is archived) but none as good as the first, if memory serves.

PEACE LOVE and MONEY

https://soundcloud.com/dabeatnik/drumpf-beer

There was an eclecticism from the beginning that both drew me in and educated me to no end.

When I joined, I was in high school, pretending to know much more about music than I really did. My musical interests were all over the place, and there weren't many places - online or otherwise - that could both meet me where I was and challenge me to learn more. The Lesson could.

I think that over the years - over the last four to five years, especially - I've learned how little I know, and have taken to lurking and learning a lot more than writing/responding. Although it sometimes seems less consistent, the board's still pretty eclectic/broad in its interests, and has some real knowledgeable folks.

It's been really cool to watch folks develop and change over time, too... and to see some vet posters turned on to new (or new to them) stuff (whether genres or artists).

Some key moments that stick out in my brain:
- there were some great "two seconds" posts made by various folks early on that really got me listening closer... posts where folks threw up their favorite really short sections of a tune that *made* that track what it was (I think I made a few of these myself)

- The Jay-Z/Blueprint II period was definitely interesting and memorable, especially in retrospect (in light of a lot of the developments in mainstream hiphop since then)

- It's been cool to see changes in the way certain acts are perceived (Dave Matthews Band comes to mind...), and how the responses to certain acts are consistent in their inconsistency (Tori Amos comes to mind)

Um.. I might have to come back for some others.

that was an alias who shouldn't have been revealed but that was hilarious. He had done a string of Jeff Foxworthy posts... but that one was the most hilarious of them all.

The mental image of Jeff Foxworthy even LISTENING to Cam'ron and company...

There are two posts that I found pretty amusing, but I'm sure the posters didn't intend them as such and I really hope neither of them would be offended that I brought them up. But I think they do a good job of providing a well-rounded picture of the way this place works.

But I don't want this to turn "poast" as they say in General Depravity. I don't even know if I'm using the term correctly. So I'll be vague:

-An impassioned plea to work on an artists new album. A lovable demonstration of the delusion we all sort of have here, the "I could do it better if I got the chance" mentality. People love Don Quixote for a reason.

-A declaration of someone's favorite artist and an attempt to make him/herself the authority on said artist, that was discarded so quickly, it was comical. It demonstrates the fickleness of music lovers, and how we're not always honest with ourselves when crafting our internet personas.

this one i'm not sure about


so as not to post from a high horse, i'll bring up one of my most embarrassing moments here

not long after i left an IDM message board for good and started reading and posting here more, i saw a post where Steve O Tron said something about boards of canada. i don't remember what else was said between us, but at one point i said something naive and ignorant to him to the effect of, "way to insult the only other person here who knows boards of canada." to his credit, he was quick to lay the smack down and point out that there were more than two of us. duh. it seems so obvious now, but i had a lot more arrogance and aggression when i was younger and would sometimes post stupidly. there is much to be said about lurking and getting a feel for the place and the subject you want to address before blurting anything out.

I chose a screen name and began posting under it. Turns out there was a charter member with the same screen name, spaced or punctuated differently. Anyway after a few posts he shows up and I guess I had my actual name in my profile, because he called me out by my actual name. I panicked and stylez dainty was born. Funny, I haven't seen hid nor hair of him since.

We wanted to form a fake rap group called the Tea Party Playas.

The members were Stylez Dainty, Thimble Pimp and Thug Dimple. Even though it creates some unflattering associations, I still kind of regret not picking Thimble Pimp

my friend and i have a fake rap duo i named salty gargles. our high school spanish teacher often got sidetracked in class and ended up talking about common ailments, eventually blurting out "salty gargles!" instead of telling us to gargle salt water.

I felt the plan he laid out would have actually worked for the artist.

What made that post funny for me was the persistent heckling by another poster who tried to call out the original poster as delusional for even dreaming that the artist would descend so low as to work with some Leson chucklehead... and yet kept ending his own bitter retorts on the hopeful note of "If the artist is going to work with anybody, it should be ME!"

Eh, I figure the poster would rather I didn't bring this one up.

I check for: Serengeti, Zeroh, Open Mike Eagle, Jeremiah Jae, Moka Only.

I didnt make the post...taygravy(ok) made the post suggesting as such...which, naturally, was met with disdain and derision....

someone asked, "well, what WOULD you do?" and I laid out my plan...and since the whole shit would be a feather in my cap and invaluable experience, Id do it for nothing...

then krewcial(where is he?)got his draws in a knot about it....saying that that I COULDNT possibly do it because I hadnt studied with Nadia Bolanger and I didnt know how to deconstruct and repair a Studer tape machine (Im exaggerating for effect but the shit he was saying wasnt far off from that)and that those things are absolutely REQUIRED before I could even get coffee for a band like The Roots

so I pointed out the inaccuracies, both historical and theoretical, in that line of thinking...but yeah, in his own way he definitely expressed that if anyone should get the nod, it should be him

was it embarrassing? sort of, because I knew it would look like how you rmbr it--me begging The Roots for a job--which I never did...but at the same time, if the opportunity presented itself, I'd do it in a heartbeat, even today...

but i think yousendit and other file sharing sites changed the board profoundly

The mp3 killed the internet message board discussion?

Eventually, perhaps, but not early on.

I guess the height of "Lesson laziness" now is simply the copying and pasting of a youtube url with no surrounding commentary, but I think it took a while for that laziness to set in.

Circa 2003, even with the growing popularity of soulseek taking shape around the same time as ysi's introduction (then followed by rapidshare and megaupload), I still remember there being hearty discussion about new and old music.

New: I don't think, for better or worse, The Lesson is capable of discussing an album more than The Black Album or Speakerboxxx/The Love Below were.

Old: I recall a decent amount of Brazilian music and Fela making its way into my world with the necessary context also being supplied.

Early on, the link was a privilege and then supplementary to a post. The "idea" was still king, but then slowly the link won over and soon suffocated most hope for discussion.

There were the mp3 request posts that slowly morphed into people just posting random mp3s daily, sorta aping music blogs, which might have been the beginning of the end. You download a million things, because they're available and we're music hoarders one way or another, and your HD fills up; consequently, you lose the will to comment on anything because of how over-saturated your playlists have become.

As far as outside influences, blogs did The Lesson no good, in terms of discussion. Active posters found homes elsewhere or "link and leave" habits were picked up and copied here.

I also think the monthly artists posts had a more negative impact than a positive one, no matter how well-intentioned they were initially.

That being said, The Lesson turned me on to more songs, albums, and artists than one can imagine. I can't be mad.

i've been harsh on the lesson these last few weeks and months, but you said it all


>consequently, you lose the will to comment on anything because
>of how over-saturated your playlists have become.

in recent years i've tried to go back to old topics and leave my comments after listening (and try to start or restart an actual conversation) just to combat that and encourage music to be treated as less transient and fleeting


>As far as outside influences, blogs did The Lesson no good, in
>terms of discussion. Active posters found homes elsewhere or
>"link and leave" habits were picked up and copied here.

that's one reason why i've not started a blog or written professionally about music, even though it's frustrating when i do put effort into posting here and get crickets


>That being said, The Lesson turned me on to more songs,
>albums, and artists than one can imagine. I can't be mad.

it's very important for those of us with criticism to keep all we've gained in mind as well

and remember when cats at LEAST had the decency to just say "inbox".


Now motherfuckers get offended at a post WITHOUT links.

before brazen linking in posts, y'all were inboxing each other links no? or posting burned cds to each other? same diff. i think the link can still be conducive to hearty convo, doesn't mean the fundamental nature of The Lesson has to change. just means we can discuss and playback (at our leisure) the music in question. it's the posters themselves that choose to get lazy with it. the LINK is just gravy. it doesn't automatically lead to lazy posting or a degeneration in whatever rose-coloured-glasses view u guys had of this place.

i think the boards can change with the times but still remain viable for 'hearty discussion' (sorry i think im in luv with the word 'hearty' at the moment). these days posting about new music without at least A link (doesn't have to be an mp3, YouTube is usually the goer) is tantamount to cockteasing.

>before brazen linking in posts, y'all were inboxing each

>diff.

i didn't look at what he was saying from a piracy standpoint but rather as a replacement for conversation. nowadays it really does seem like "here's a link to the song" instead of "this song is _________" (insert interpretation, significance, background, whatever would be said about it before youtube and file sharing sites). i don't really disagree with the rest of what you said. the posters are the problem, not the technology. unfortunately, we live in lazy, dumbed-down times.

and by the criticism of the lesson nerdery rehashed in another recent topic

i'm not feeling nostalgic so i won't linger on this, but one of the things i love about and that makes this place special is that there are people here who think about and love deeply artists i don't know anyone in "real life" who cares or knows so much about and artists who don't seem to have lasting and universal recognition. i'm talking about artists who seem obvious and big to the people of the lesson that are sold short in music journalism and by award ceremonies, artists whose exposure on the radio is limited or niche at best and often nonexistent (i don't think i've ever heard fela outside of public and college radio, for just one example), and perhaps as a result of these things aren't widely embraced outside of fans of the respective genre and often seem to be taken for granted or unfairly dismissed. the conversations here over the years have made me give a real listen and think critically about and appreciate so many artists i might not have ever approached the same way without the lesson, and i'm grateful for the music that has in turn enriched my life. i have the same favorite genres as i did before i discovered #thissite, but the specific artists, my knowledge base, and the way i analyze and appreciate music have been greatly influenced by my time here, and the humor and camaraderie have affected me in subtle but deep ways as well.

nailed my sentiments almost exactly.

No OK or anything by his name. But it was just John Mayer with a double digit post count saying low key things. Not an alias, and I seem to remember a few posts that seemed led me to believe it was actually him.

oddly enough, based on what happened later when Mayer starting opening his mouth to spray douchiness everywhere, I feel like he actually would have been an interesting poster.

LOL.

and I must admit, I'm proud of asking the initial question that spun the thread out of control.

good time.

also, the recent "beat-offs" are memorable and I will not be surprised if someone replies "why did you use that name for the competition?" haha

still working with those beats for anyone interested. I have 5/14 songs recorded but nothing has been final mixed and as soon as something is I will send the songs to the producer of the track before I release the whole project on here.

I'll separate it into a few categories:

my favorite posts ( and post related moments)-

"Bilal takes a shit"
"Mawxell Sings for the bitches"
"Enroll at Neo-Soul University"
"2 seconds"
The (Original) Friday Fun Posts

and some of the recurring moments

-fire vs AnaStezia
'KAP vs Warren Coolidge ( but unlike nowadays, BOTH of these cats were dropping science AND staying on topic.)
-when newbies would come in and say something REALLY dumb and get flamed out for it. Not that we went out of our way to burn Newbies, but it kept people from posting up stupid or inflammatory shit.
-in the days before links, when we used to mail tapes and CD's to each other


and I just want to thank those of you who have contributed and shared music with the rest of us:

MistaMonotone ( The "I Like White People" set still gets burn)
Warren Coolidge ( "The Seven Seals of James Brown" is legendary. If they sold it in stores, it might rival "Star Time")
Ally Al ( his podcasts are amazing)
tREBLEFREE (tREBLEFREE R&B is that bidness)

I have a Dalek CDR that someone sent me as an trade for a D&B mixtape (cassette) I made. I listened to it once, didn't like it... but I still have it.

That must've been in 2000, if not 1999.

I forget who it was now, but that was awesome.

And jefleejohnson sent me a CD-R of that Foley album, but I think he sent that to everybody.

I mean, just being here my musical landscape opened up WIDELY from when I first started posting here...

even though I don't post here as much, I do value the posts and convos folk have here...

The Animal Collective was particularly fun...

and I do vaguely remember John Mayer allegedly posting here but just never really cared. LOL
