Guest Baz Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Sorry Baz, but as i said earlier up the thread, this wasen't the reason, it was because people liked the music they were hearing ! surely ? The fact that it was rare unheard of artists probably helped because we were young & looking for something trendy & different to the mainstream. But i can't see how you can champion something just because it's rare, irelevent of what it sounds like ? Yes they liked it but the whole ethos of the scene was to discover the next thing surley??? and that's what northern is all about......like it or not. Who said about something having to be rare???

Winnie :-) Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Why is it silly, its my oppinion that there is two scenes one northern scene and one retro scene the later IMO is rubbish. The Northern soul scene still strives on what it stood for 'back in the day' and that is to go out week in week out searching out the 'new' bringing obscure artists into the forfront of the rare soul scene. The commercial 'retro' scene has lost its foot in what northern soul is about, invaded by crap media and poor complations on CD........ of well rubbish =========== Tell you why it's silly Baz. We were talking about venues where people who wear bags etc go, and I said how would you know cos you rarely go. You said, no I don't go cos it's not northern soul. That is completely incorrect IMO, these venues are playing established records, established on the northern scene over the last 40 years and you come along and redefine the term northern soul.

Guest Roccia Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Thats about the best parallel anyone could make, it'd be like going to a wedding reception every Friday without the free booze. I don't think many people think "played out oldies" are rubbish records, they're usually far from it, but often, as the name sort of suggests (I prefer "overplayed records" for clarity), they're played too often by many people who won't try anything else. :angry: There are overplayed "newies" included in that too. And just look at what happened a few years back, Mick Smith plays Ain't No Mountain High Enough at the 100 Club to a great response and suddenly the record is being flogged to death on the decks by other people. Its nice to hear something like that from time to time, there are loads of similar records, but not week in week out? I'll stay at home thanks. Others include things like Because of You and You Got To Have Money. Good enough records but do people really want to hear them every time they go out? A well known name like Mick smith can play Marvin & Tammi at the 100 Club. Try to imagine if it was me playing that record in there... Probably the punters would targeted me with rotten tomatoes...

But my argument is still the same,i don't think the records were liked because of either 'newness' or 'rarity' i always thought it was because of what they sounded like. & i feel that is why some people like to hear so called 'played out' oldies & not just new for the sake of it being 'cool' records.

Drew3 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 As I said further back, I was after lists so that I could gain an understanding of what the term 'played out oldie' (I now prefer Stuart T's 'overplayed record' as it's much more accurate) actually means to everyone and if the same records come up. Thanks to those who did post a list of their present 'overplayed' records. The lists that have been posted have thrown up one or two records that I don't think I know, so for me these won't be anything but new and therefore there was a value for me in asking the question. The only other point for me is that I do not understand why discussions on here at times disintegrate into arguments and rudeness as opposed to keeping up healthy debate, however boring, repetitive or naive a post is or however different to your own someone elses view or taste is!!!!!!!!

Ged Parker Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I always have to smile when a playlist is put up by a dj, and anything Top 100 listed has the word "Request" after it Why would anyone put 'Request' after a record in a play list in a vain attempt to get people to think they didn't want to play it. They put it in their play box didn't they. I get requests all the time for record I have but unless they are in my play box for that event I ain't gonna play them (obviously) and if they are in there they are in on merit so why would I not play them. I think putting 'Request' after the tune says more about the crowd / venue than anything and if I see 'requests' I like it can indicate the venue may by to my liking.

Guest in town Mikey Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Northern Soul has never been about the way we dress tho has it? I mean my mates a school used to wear vests and flares down the youth club. Just like me. Only they liked Elvis or The Damned or Motorhead. And some of those guys I see dont dress a lot differently now either. Its all about enjoyment. Thats the beginning and end of it. And most I assume would enjoy it if they were wearing jeans or a suit or Spencers 40" baggies. There could also be the case where some guys have spent all their dough on vinyl, and still have to wear the old vest and bags they wore 30 years ago. Only possible because they cant afford to eat anything more than Tesco value baked beans on toast, so their waist lines are the same as in 1978.

Guest Bearsy Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 A ban wouldn't be needed if DJ's used their imagination. It's like Pete said, there's no point him going out as he has a good idea of what he's going to hear as it's the same DJ's playing the same records week in week out A little imagination, drop a few records, try the odd different one now and again and things would improve no end. The era I grew up in most of the DJ's had their own identity and individual sets, they all comnpeted to play something different, that all changed with the returnees in the early 90's and not much has changed since IMHO. There's 100's of records ignored so a DJ can play the Ringleaders he paid £400 for or Ruby Andrews he paid £150 and many more besides Nowadays should be seeing the best of Northern Soul, the best records from the best part of 40 years yet it's far from it with little in the way of progression, forward thinking and least of all little imagination. Totally agree Chalky, i would love to go out and hear loads of new tunes mixed in with many i know as for me its a great way of discovering and hearing a tune i might not never get to hear that could blow me socks off. its to easy to play safe but that can also depend on which event you attend. keep it fresh and in the groove Bearsy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 It's funny but I said this to Davina about 2 weeks back, we went to the shops and I was wearing a pair of Levis, a white polo shirt under a black v neck jumper and I realised I was wearing exactly the same clothes that I wore 30 years ago! So what's wrong with dressing like that eh? I hope you have washed them! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Its not northern soul, its a complete utter rubbish retro scene, i prefer to keep at the proper northern soul scene" That's what you said Baz, post 132, it's not northern soul. So I take it to be a part of the northern scene in your view, you have to go out every week, to upfront venues, and travel 100s of miles? Sorry mate, but another bag of bollox, even bigger than the last. There's a few on here who I'd consider upfront soul lovers, are you all of the same opinion, have you taken an oath?

Yes i cut my finger dropped a bit of blood into the scacred chalise and swore to never change my view. Your twisting it about alittle, Northern soul is not just music, is it not! Northern soul is a way of life (i hate that term ) but it is a way of life, you dont have to go and travel 100's of miles every week, not even go to 'upfront' venues, its only my oppinion on it all it dont mean sh*t but to say you are into northern just because you listen to the more 'commercial***' sounds when you go out is not the Northern scene. *** commercial sounds being ones that you can find on ever compliation with wigan/greatest/floor fillers (delete/add as apropriate) CD's Baz Goddin Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

You talked about the 'real' northern scene in a previous post, so what venues have your seal of approval? If I think 'out on the floor' is northern (indeed I do) who's to tell me it isn't, and that I'm not part of the 'real' northern scene. I'm not part of the 'in crowd' maybe, or those who deem themselves the 'saviours' or today's scene, but I don't care. I'd like to see the scene progress, I'd like to see it stay alive, but not to the extent that I'm happy to disrespect anyone who doesn't agree with me.

What do you suggest I do if I don't agree with his or anybody elses views, say nothing? I'm sure you're probably just joking, but if we all just sat back and said nothing.......well plug me back into the matrix Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
chrissie Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Those above - though it depends how long you've been around I suppose. I could hear Geni(e) til the cows come home but Greg Perry is an unpolished turd of a record. No offence like. Nice to see My Conscience in there. No 1 on my wants list at mo, just saving all the pennies till i can get it....maybe about april next year the way things are going So far I have £4.97 a way to go yet QoFxx Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
