Yet another part to the Bible which I’m hoping to wrap up this week. Jordan Mamone and Sean Howe did an article about this in Issue 15 back in 2000 or so, but I’m sure it needs to be revamped by now…..
Here’s a smidge of words……
lo-fi
sonics (as a noun)
sonic (as an adj; of course it’s sonic, it’s a fucking record)
electronica
hip (and, of course, überhip)
sound (as in a band’s…)
stoner rock
emo
deliver (bands are not mailmen; they do not deliver music)
here (as in “here, Ricky Martin melds spicy Latin rhythms and ska-influenced horns”’; a record is not a place, asshole)
serve up
shards
fretwork
Obviously, post any words in the comments section. We’re all ears!
