Advice Music
Advice columns have moved on since the days when your choice was either pinching your sister’s Just17 to discover what “fingering” was (something to do with classical guitar?) or reading Woman’s Own in the dentist’s waiting room find out how to get your sex drive swinging again in your sixties.
The Sun came as something of an eye-opener for the teenage Gargleman, with its Dear Deirdre column and her photo casebook, though it did give me some strange ideas about sex (does everyone really wear a bra and panties during a threesome?). Then there was Viz’s Photo Stories, which weren’t advice, but were occasionally very funny.
Now, the internets have arrived and suddenly everyone has advice for you. Confused about life? Humiliate yourself at Yahoo Answers and sarcy little shits will explain your utter failure to you. Polyandrous/gay/into kinky shit (sometimes literally)? Dan Savage will give you often graphic advice that would make Dear Deirdre blush.
Need your advice in a musical format? Wondering where this post is going? Well, I just came across the lovely Rachel Zylstra’s Advice Music, which is kind of like Rebecca Mayes’ musical video games reviews, but with slightly less catchy songs. Which is weird considering Zylstra is an actual minor alt-pop-star. But it has got potential, for sure, especially if people start giving her more interesting problems to write songs about.
So – musical video game reviews: check. Musical problem pages: check. What’s next? Musical youtube party political broadcasts? What? The Greens did that back in 2006? God, I’m so out of the loop…
MOF011: Matt Halsall
When Mr. Gondwana, Matt Halsall dropped in on Mind On Fire recently for an interview and to talk all things music he came bearing gifts, namely this fantastic 45 minute mix of Jazz, Soul and Funk music. You would be daft not to download this and get it on your stereo in double quick time. Nuff said!
