IN A NUTSHELL: "AS LONG AS IT'S FAST AND EXTREME, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on individual shots of David Vincent, Jesse Pintado (R.I.P.), Oscar Garcia, & Pete "The Feet" Sandoval of American grindcore/deathgrind band TERRORIZER, recording their genre-defining "World Downfall" album at Morrisound Studios, Tampa, FL, c. 1989.

JESSE PINTADO✝: "...we were coming from a hardcore and punk background."

UNBELIEVABLY BAD: "You can hear plenty of that in the mix of styles that TERRORIZER do."

JP: "Yeah, it's just a mixture of the old hardcore and punk and then I got into metal and then it became grindcore and I don't know… as long as it's fast and extreme, I don't give a shit."

ゆるキャン△ 第13話

エイプリルフールにゆるキャン△第13話と称して、『SHINY DAYS (EUROBEAT△REMIX)』を作成しました！

楽曲動画

youtube

あれこれ

『ゆるキャン△』にハマりました。ゆる～い雰囲気、何よりOP/ED/BGMが心地良い。亜咲花さんの歌うOPのSHINY DAYSが非常に気に入ったので、アニソンEUROBEATにしました。 BPMは140。最近本当にこの付近ですねｗ今回も単音リフです。リフとボーカルを被せているのがポイントです！全体構成は結構シンプルではあるのですが、L/Rの振り分けだとか64分音符単位の調整だとか、裏でループ素材を鳴らしたりだとか、結構細かいことをやってたりします。他は0:30、1:30辺りの裏でL.A.Styleの音鳴らしたりだとか、 2:36辺りでSnap音を使用してみたり、 2:47辺りでFutureBaseでよく聴くChargeUp音を使ってみたり。作っていたら3月も終盤に差し掛かっていたため、楽しんでもらえるようにエイプリルフール動画として投稿しよう！と思いました。けどどうやったら楽しんでもらえるだろう… ゆるキャン△もうすぐ終わっちゃう… とか思ってたら、俺が13話作れば良いんじゃないか？という考えに至りました(錯乱) けど単純に13話の釣り動画として作ったら絶対非難の対象だよな… ↓ うーんEUROBEATならではの釣り…… ↓ 世間一般のイメージならEUROBEATって頭文字Dかな…？ ↓ そういや志摩リンって結構道走ってるシーンあるよな…これだ！ …という発想でコラ画像を��て貰うことで、同時に楽曲を楽しんでもらえるのではと考えました(迷走) 適度に雑に作ってツッコんで貰えるように頑張ったので是非是非そちらにも注目して頂ければ！

総評

ゆるキャン△、非常に素晴らしいアニメでした！ SHINY DAYSの原曲も是非是非聴いてみてください！公式リンク

OVERVIEW: "When Jubilee's involved, the fireworks never stop! This spunky Chinese-American child of the Los Angeles malls is a blast in more ways than one; her mutant metabolism allows her to generate light-energy plasmoids that explode with spectacular force! Though Professor X has since sidelined her from active duty due to her very young age, Jubilee eagerly awaits to burst into battle once again!"

EVEN BEST COAST ADMITS THAT A LOT OF THEIR EARLY SUBJECT MATTER HASN'T AGED ALL THAT WELL -- THE 2010 YEARS.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno of Los Angeles-based indie rock group BEST COAST, photographed in 2010, and in the same year as the release of their debut studio album, "Crazy for You." 📸: Roger Kisby.

ROLLING STONE: "What do you think of the image that became associated with the band after the record came out? Weed, cats, and California."

Cosentino: "I mean, on the one hand, I understand why it happened, because it was such a part of the aesthetic. I was also really outspoken at that time about smoking a lot of weed and loving my cat as much as I did and all that stuff."

On the other hand, imagine yourself at 22 getting famous — like out of nowhere, not expecting it to happen — and having this persona that you had at the age of 22 sticking with you. To this day people are like, “Cats and weed and California!” and I’m fucking 33 years old now."

To be completely honest with you, it did a bit of a number to me. In terms of my identity, I feel like I really thought that I had to be that person when, in reality, I don’t know that I really was that person. It was just kind of like a blip on the radar."

Bruno: "You never know when you make something what things people are going to latch on to from it. Smoking weed became one of the things — which is funny because I don’t even smoke weed."

ROLLING STONE: "I feel like 2010 was basically just all about weed and cats anyway. It was so different from now."

Cosentino: "That’s something I’ve been thinking a lot — realizing that this is coming up on a decade [since the debut]. Like, holy shit, it’s just so different — not just the politics and the environment but the way that music comes out and artists are discovered, the way that records are digested."

ROLLING STONE: "I feel like back then you had more room, too, to be sad about boys and smaller issues."

Cosentino: "Yeah, if I put this record out now, I probably would get people going, “What the hell is this? There’s more important shit to complain about.” This record came out at a time where you had more room to just marinate on this shady guy who won’t text you back."

NO LESS THAN HORROR BUSINESS IN HOLLYWOOD BABYLON, USA.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on American horror punk band THE MISFITS photographed near the iconic Hollywood sign, Los Angeles, CA, c. 1981. 📸: Ken Caiafa.

THE MISFITS may not be from California, let alone Los Angeles, but the theatricality of the band sure speaks more to Hollywood than most other L.A. punk bands, am I right? Anyway, ever seen this one before, and it's got "classic" written all over it.

"INSTEAD OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE PARTY, THOUGH, FUNKDOOBIEST REMAINS ON TOP THROUGHOUT..."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a print advert and/or record advert for "The Troubleshooters," the third full-length album by L.A.-based Latin/alternative hip-hop group FUNKDOOBIEST, released under the RCA label in early 1998. The advert was featured in the January '98 issue of "Rap Pages" magazine.

ALBUM OVERVIEW: "There’s something very fresh sounding on “Troubleshooters,” the third album by L.A.’s FUNKDOOBIEST. It could be the relative lack of filler and the DJ Ralph M.’s original approach to samples. The mad, driving swing of the Squirrel Nut Zipper’s “Hell” drives the first single, “Papi Chulo.” They twist around some verses to suit their own purposes on oldies like Bill Withers’ “Just the Two of Us” (to “just Funkdoobiest”) and Diana Ross’ “Theme From Mahogany” (“Doobie knows where you’re going to”).

They bring back the catchy beat and sped-up vocals of Newcleus’ “Jam on It” on the remake “Act on It.” But instead of borrowing the familiar hook from the Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love,” they cop its central question: “Whatcha gonna do when you get out of jail?”

The delivery of rapper Sondoobie has a familiar ring — that high, whiny New York wiseacre squawk often associated with CYPRESS HILL. Yet he’s changing the voice a bit too, slowing it down with a deeper voice on a few tracks, yet still switching effortlessly from English to Spanish and back.

There are a lot of voices on “Troubleshooters” though, including Daz from Tha Dogg Pound on “Papi Chulo,” and Hitman, Hurricane G, Tony Touch, MC Fats, and a handful of others.

Instead of losing control of the party, though, Funkdoobiest remains on top throughout “Troubleshooters,” making it the sharpest rap release of the year yet."

-- HARTFORD COURANT, review for FUNKDOOBIEST's "Troubleshooters" (1998) album, published February 12, 1998

"WE USE EXPLICIT LYRICS AS A METAPHOR TO DESCRIBE THE RAWNESS AND PURITY OF OUR ART FORM."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a mega photo-dump of the "Brothas Doobie" (1995) album (includes an interview with the group and a record review), the second studio full-length by Los Angeles-based hip-hop group FUNKDOOBIEST. This was the final album featuring back-up MC and hypeman Tomahawk Funk, who left the group after the album's release.

THE SOURCE: "You specifically choose to identify the group with extremely explicit lyrics. Why?"

DJ RALPH M: "We use explicit lyrics as a metaphor to describe the rawness and purity of our art form. The lyrics are X-rated so they stand out, and they stand out to create awareness. Each song on this album deals with a different subject matter."

SON DOOBIE: "We have our own funk, not G-funk like everyone else in the West, but explicit funk. For example, "Pussy Ain't Shit" deals with what men will do for some. People lie, die, and fight for sex, and we are trying to let them know that it will always be there, that there is no need for the drama. Also, people need to understand we have no plans to water down our style."

[Check out the pics for the fine print interview/review, and I typed all this out verbatim by squinting my eyes nearly to death! haha!]
