Rap Music

Named after a Suicide song, Fast Money Music look like one of those moody, suave 90's guitar bands that used to sing about bad romance and existential sorrow. And guess what, that's kind of what they sound like too - though they also have a lot more zip (and a bit less depth) than the likes of Afghan Whigs or Tindersticks. Here are some song samples: Unfortunately: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP2sOdy-6Vk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP2sOdy-6Vk) There Are No Words: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jcm8aUWQf6o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jcm8aUWQf6o) Lover Boy: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3JoKteDd-w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3JoKteDd-w) Space Opera/Hot Melt Glue (live - and is that a sax?): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzrPXB4kkGU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzrPXB4kkGU) Is it just me getting [Michael Hutchence vibes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azfG5H-pCVg)?

Exploring the musical archives with captivation at both a very young age and later as music radio presentator, club DJ & musicologist - I discovered only snippets of an estimated 97 million songs even though I went all the way back to the 17th century! If you love music, then you'll know it's not just entertainment but a spritual soulful experiene ("I hear my compositions as a single point of light, all I do is hold that point of light in my mind whilst I write it down" Wolfgang Mozart) So let's immense ourselves in our passion by enjoying music, singing, dancing with drinks in hand whilst broadening our music knowledge and exposure by discovering new material, artists and even genres at fun musically themed night out for passionate music lovers in the UK home of rock n roll - Camden of course! Contemporary or old - you must be passionate about music which means you will be prepared to talk about your favourite song(s) and or artist(s), influences and underlying reasons at ease. What is it that makes them stand out and unique? Does the song have personal relevance to you? Are the lyrics poetic or a philosophical masterpiece like in some old hip-hop or is it about the sound of the vocals or hypnotic melodies? Did the song (or artist) play a pivotal role in shaping political change & influence in society (yes some musicians have even died for their artform) or the evolution of new music genres, sub cultures and underground music movements today? Was Lennon & McCartney the greatest ever singer song writer combo or have you heard better? Who are the best all time music producers & song writers - Max Martin, Billy Joel, George Martin, Quincy Jones, Bernie Taupin, Dr Dre, Carole King? Did PWL records destroy the British music scene or contribute to it? We can also touch on influential music producers, labels, DJs and radio stations as well. Discussion on all elements of musicology and enablers is up for grabs. If you can - come prepared with links to samples (feel free to post youtube and other links in the comments section below) to demonstrate or be willing to sing/rap some lyrics so we can get an idea. Funky dance moves optional. =========RENDEZVOUS POINT ================= We will meet inside Amy Winehouse's local - the Hawley Arms. I'll be wearing Starwars lanyard and will share my number an hour before the event in the comments in case of issues finding us. We will spend about an average of 90 mins per bar. Lucas

**Caller: Richard Ades** **Band: The McKenzies** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
