TyronneAn Homage to Rick Rubin
June 13th 2006 08:05
Thanks to a combination of an increasingly bronchitic cold, uni exams and most importantly, the World Cup, things have been a little slow as of late around Music Times. But, don't worry, because there is plenty in store for faithful readers. At the moment I'm listening to a barrage of new albums, from Keanes Under the Iron Sea as well as several new bands to add to my collection, Kubb and Hard Fi. I've also been trying to get my head around Muse's new album, Black Holes and Revelations which is certainly not the most welcoming for listeners both established and new, but it definitely has some potential. Expect reviews for all four very soon.
In the meantime, I thought I'd share yet more of the treasures that YouTube has to offer for people all over the world. Over the next few days, I'll be sharing a few videos based on certain themes. And today is the latest video clip from Spank Rock who, unfortunately, is foreign to me, but what drew me to this was the fact that the video is supposedly an homage to possibly the most influential producer of this generation, Rick Rubin. For those who don't know, Rick Rubin is possibly most famous for his latest work with Red Hot Chili Peppers from Blood Sugar Sex Magick until the latest effort, Stadium Arcadium. But Rubin's resume extends way beyond simply the Chili Peppers, spanning across hip hop with Run DMC, to heavy metal, folk/country, and pop - way too many to mention. This video supposedly focuses on Rick Rubin as a producer during the 80s, which can immediately be seen by the deliberate use of those corny corny effects. But I have to say the song isn't that bad, so feast your eyes and let me know what you think.
