    Ali Akbar Khan

    Definitely. An amazing musician and one of the giants of Indian music. I happened to be having something of an Indian week, listening to tons of ragas back to back and tracking down records here and there. Needless to say, the news floored when I heard it. Thanks for posting that video...

    current trends that will age horribly

    Yeah Superbad is really funny. I forgot about that one. Plus it has a kickass soundtrack.

    current trends that will age horribly

    I think Brat Pack is the 80's high school movie crew in movies such as The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, Pretty In Pink etc. The John Hughes contingent. And the Frat Pack was all the Old School permutation guys (Ferrell, Vaughn, the brothers Wilson, etc.) I could be way off on this though.

    current trends that will age horribly

    the whole unfunny post-Office pseudo-documentary thing showing up everywhere the whole Judd Apatow comedy troupe, the Will Ferrell experience (am i way off base, or are these guys just not as funny as they think they are) people saying stuff like "I listen to everything except _____ and _____"...

    erotic (?) record covers??

    Also this one: Which I always took to be a parody of the previous Prince one, Lovesexy, and thus cracked me up.

    erotic (?) record covers??

    Almost the entire Ohio Players catalog qualifies, but there's no getting around this one from the post Westbound era: Also, what about Prince?

    Good tunes by "bad" artists

    Yeah I'll second that. There were tons of great Blur songs. Growing up in California, I didn't pick up on the whole "you oughta hate blur and britpop" thing until much later. You could be into house, techno, jungle and still keep tabs on all that stuff as well. Plus there was the whole...

    Negative Energy

    Yeah that Mobb Deep stuff is pretty bleak for sure. That line in Shook Ones Pt. II always jumped out at me: "rock you in the face, stab your brain with your nose bone." And it's uttered in the most nonchalant, matter of fact way (and toward the beginning of the song). I mean it's pretty hard...

    Good tunes by "bad" artists

    Yes! I actually just grabbed the reissue of this movie the other day... totally bizarre in an intriguing way. The soundtrack was a big one for me as a kid, the gateway into all sorts of synth stuff. I reckon it's all about the two love themes (In The Space Capsule, In The Death Cell) and...

    Good tunes by "bad" artists

    That Fred Durst thread made me think of this one: Limp Bizkit - N 2 gether Now Admittedly this is mostly due to the presence of Method Man and the Liquid Swords-esqe beat... damn Method Man is cool... but even Fred Durst manages to be more bearable than usual.

    Black Cock

    Hey Zhao, not quite sure if this is what you had in mind, but a lot of Joe Bataan's music is totally deep latin funk/disco with cosmic synths in the mix. Mestizo El Rap-o Clap-o Not disco, but an earlier, straight up Nu Yorican jam: Latin Strut

    Dancehall Albums

    Found this one on cd just the other day... absolutely incredible, exactly what I was looking for... the idea of a dancehall artist stretching out over the album-length format with flair. You could stack this up against any lp out there and it'd hold up wonderfully. Tracked this one down too...
