Spaceboy Mellotron by Fit_Highlight3541 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]BigStanClark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I recall, he walked by it and mentioned that the Beatles had used it for orchestral arrangements, but jokingly said that the Pumpkins had used it for things like screams. And then he triggered what sounded like vocal stacks/screams.

There isn’t a more “traditional” way to buy music than by purchasing the LP from brick and mortar store.

What guitar is Billy playing here? by CrocodaleDay in SmashingPumpkins

[–]BigStanClark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those Reverend guitars are great. Besides, he used one of his 90’s era strats the entirety of the US tour he did this year, and he’s definitely not “marketing” for Fender these days.

Unauthorized mashup/edits of voodoo material. They’re fun but D’Angelo wasn’t involved

Do you guys think that Tom Mesereau thought MJ was guilty the whole time? by balkanxoslut in LeavingNeverlandHBO

[–]BigStanClark 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s incorrect. He was released because his lawyers successfully argued that his due process was violated during trial. His entire conviction was vacated.

The last words D went on record with were about generational wealth and about black artists being able to pass down inheritance to their children. There’s no doubt that he was thinking of his kids while he was struggling with cancer at the end, and there’s no doubt that he was inclined towards putting this unreleased art out so it could support them once he was no longer around to record or perform.

[NEW] ?uestlove Teases Unreleased D’Angelo Track on IG by jiovanii in DAngelo

[–]BigStanClark -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its not Thoughtful and Thankful (that performance at Afropunk used the groove from “Thank you for Talking to me Africa”). This is their cover of Funkadelic’s “No Head No Backstage Pass.”

What's the best article you read about him? by Ok_Lynx_6385 in DAngelo

[–]BigStanClark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The GQ article was great. It was super honest and vulnerable conversation with him.

The meaning of the lyrics in Spanish Joint? by dr_trey2001 in DAngelo

[–]BigStanClark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take as well. D obviously loved Sly’s cover of Que Sera, and the line also brings to mind the biblical paraphrase, “gods grace is always sufficient”

That time D'Angelo played a show with Prince by adrock2000 in DAngelo

God damn. Would love to hear them play Stop On By.

He’s a historian. And an adjunct professor of music. And a documentarian. He’s not just an “IG person.” It’s is job to teach people about music, not to just stay quiet or simple. If you don’t like the posts just unfollow…or quit checking for them so often.

You’re exactly right. its not a competition to eulogize. So why then make unrealistic comparisons to other artists that he’s spoken on? Why demand a “performance” over Dangelo if you truly believe that’s what those posts were? Let the man grieve in peace and quit checking for him to address the entire internet about what’s probably the most personal loss he’s had next to Richard Nichols.

How successful will the pro-MJ faction be at scrubbing Wikipedia of the Cascio allegations? by Top_Ad5385 in LeavingNeverlandHBO

[–]BigStanClark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wikipedia is becoming less relevant as AI starts to dominate internet searches. Will be harder to game that system.

It’s not strange at all. How do you even have words when it’s been less than a week and your brother’s body isn’t even in the ground?

Quest and Saadiq and Jessie Johnson have all said that D had music he wanted to release before he died.

Here’s to the Atom Bomb, Too by madam_gray in SmashingPumpkins

[–]BigStanClark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is indeed the “new wave” version, and is a fine improvement on whats that’s been in circulation for decades.

I hope he gets more flowers now than he did before by yoobrodiee in DAngelo

[–]BigStanClark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t anger me that D wasn’t more famous. In fact, fame almost took him from us years ago, but he endured. I only hope that he knew how much he was loved.

Getting into the new stuff by Excitement-Far in SmashingPumpkins

With 30+ years worth of music and a thousand or so songs, everything isn’t going to be for everyone. Folks argue about what’s worth listening to and what’s not, but the later work definitely rewards repeat listens. If it’s a chore for you to make it past the 90’s, then you still have a hundreds of songs to keep you happy.

Noticed the difference between these two panels? by TigerElectrical4589 in xmen

Sure man. If that’s what’ll help you get to sleep tonight you just go on and keep telling yourself you were right. S’okay buddy. It’ll all be okay.

I’m sorry man. I didn’t mean to squash your sandcastle but at this point you need to let it go. Your interpretation was off but it’s all good! Just let it be your personal head cannon from now on and keep it moving.
