A lot of people on here havent had the time to keep up with the HUGE
Squarepusher thread, and since SO many people have used SO many words in
MANY postings, and used BIG fluffy words and extensive musical
backgrounds to state their sides in this debate, ive decided to summarize
the whole enchilada in bite-sized, Gen X, MTV kidz terms:
Like Squarepusher, ok? he started off, like REALLY cool, he did tons of
whacked stuff nobody else was doing back then and it ROCKED. Like it had
jazzy riffs (I guess cuz he plays bass) but then it was,like jungle/DnB,
even did some rad Acid tracks, and it was neato lo-fi and had too much FX
- but it was still way COOL, and he was buds with Aphex, and had stuff on
Rephlex, damn he just like rocked, ok?, he rocked!
Then he TOTALLY got bored of doin that old stuff, and I guess he like,
has a bunch of jazz records or something cuz like that kinda-cheezy jazz
stuff, like, took over his sound & vibe, and like all the people who
liked his older stuff were getting *totally* pissed off. People were all
like "what happend to TJ ?!?", and some were like "Whats the deal? His
stuff is all different now!!". Some people talked about evolution and
how hes moving on & sick of the old stuff , and other people just thought
he was losing his magic and was drying out - kinda like those Wacky-Wall
Walker things that youd throw on a window and it would slowly goo-climb
its way down, but if you dont wash it with soap and keep it moist it gets
like, hair and fuzz all over it and it just falls off the wall instead of
sticking - I KNOW you know what im talking about.
But a lot of people LIKE jazz, but then even THOSE people started
fighting cuz he was either a poseur for copying real jazz, but then some
people LIKE HIS own way of doin jazz, even though it was , well kinda
poseur-ish so then POW!!, BOOM!!, P-CHAA!!, ZING -PSSSH! they would all
like fight the REAL pure-jazz lovers, and PCHOOM, BANG , BLAMMO! CHOP!
BOOSH! - anyway, it was like, really flame-city.. (huh,hehe.it was RAD...)
So then like, his latest LATEST stuff still has that jazz stuff some
people like, and some people DONT like, but then like SOME of the trax
have some of that old-school TJ vibe, so some people are like "well maybe
the old Squarepusher is back??" - and then other people are like "Nah,
his head is TOO far up his ass" so now everybody is like, waiting for the
next few albums to see what his deal is.
OK - like, whatever, or something
