electro swing?
Sep. 27th, 2021 12:29 pmi've been trying to lift my spirits by looking up electro swing mixes and feeds on YouTube... some of it's just house music with horns, some of it's got more thought into it, and I'm never sure how much of it's sampled and how much is live instruments. It's all upbeat and slightly faster tempo than I remember learning to dance to in the early 00s. also I'm having kind of flashbacks to terrible and clueless conversational habits I had back when I was going to Bash on Ash every Tuesday. I'm not sure I'm properly tuned into it mentally, and there's a sense of copycat wankery that I can't help but feel self-conscious about, beyond the cultural appropriation that has characterized all of recorded music history, jazz especially...
But listening to my usual stuff might just be a part of the rut I've been in, and it's pleasant enough that I'll keep listening, to see whether I'll develop an ear for it or move onto something else...
