lostinsanaa: I ended up getting a subscription to the mag just to read this interview, and also because it looks like a great magazine.

I was talking to a (white) friend of mine who was a pioneer of distorted amens and “extreme” samples about all this. He said he wasn’t trying to “say” anything, and I believe him. (That’s just one perspective of many, not saying the whole theory is wrong.)

FWIW,

re: the reggae/ska influence on american punk. yes, the bad brains readily played reggae tracks, but it is worth remembering that in the u.s. this was an anomaly, not standard for american punk listening habits of the time. american hardcore punk was really more of some sort of avant-garde metal offshoot. it is worth keeping in mind that if we fast-forward to the late 80s when a band like fugazi started up, their punk audiences were initially bewildered when they started hearing these dubby sounding basslines. as someone who grew up in dc i can attest to this. it definitely grew on people, such that it is easy to take for granted now that lots of punk rocker types also listen to dub and reggae, but it was not always thus.

accellerating: i mean bad brains raggae tunes are ok, kind of plastic, but then fine kind of plastic. bad brains hardcore tunes are a collapsing of harcore punk to the top. fantastic high speeded and brutal. like gimmick punk. driving it to no where.

i allways loved that difference, which inspired me to make a mix tape with napalm death and carcass live tape mixed with scratch perry and king tubby records.
