You listen to Morrissey? Invitation revoked.

Let's see how many of you Pro MQA or "Let's give MQA a chance" posters are willing to STEP UP TO THE PLATE

and buy the downloads and do the comparisons via your Tidal sub, or via a 30 day Tidal free trial.

 

I will be waiting.

They have to be MQA downloads of music we enjoy first as you usually have to pay for downloads..

 

Other than streaming (and no even Tidal has much MQA stuff) which isn't 'yours' to play on any box and  via any software you want, finding any 'normal' music  on MQA to download is quite difficult.

 

And of course  none of us like  all  'normal' music anyway. Handel is fine, Ed Sheeran is not actively irritating, and Beyoncé is crap. (Just as example.)

 

And as for that garbage you recommended in your initial post, words fail me..

While I agree with you that MQA should be judged with high quality recordings, you sound arrogant and possibly racist with your telling us which artists are good and which are crap.  Mavis is a treasure - sorry if you can't appreciate her.

I don't, and certainly not in MQA. Someone sent me the files so that I might analyse what MQA had done to them.

Opinions vary of course, but what's  "racist" about it?   Aren't black people allowed to be crap?

As for the other - OMG she's on a crusade! As of course we can see from the title. 

 

This , to me, hints at racism.  I really don't want to judge you, but you should know how you are coming off.  At least to me, and I don't think I am overly sensitive.  You can call me whatever and I will shrug it off, but it bothers me when you trash an artist like that.

I suspect if I "trashed" Britney Spears you wouldn't  say a word.

 

An "artist like that"? Some like her, some don't, and well over  90%   of the worlds population have never heard of her. I hadn't until I listened to a few  samples after Brinkman Ship's post.

I doubt I'd say anything, but I would still get the same impression of you.  Especially if you said something like "just take note of where she was born", which is along the same lines as what you wrote about Mavis Staples.

You've never  even met me.

 

Britney Spears? I was at   concert of hers at that 'spaceship'  hall.   She was so useless that not even those top sound people could do much with her. 

 

And you STILL haven't told me what's "racist" about thinking a particular performer is crap. Probably because it isn't.

So what?  I'm not saying who/what you are, just telling you how you are coming off with the stuff you post.

He didn't saying anything remotely like that.

No, he started the hypothetical though.  He made the other remark about Mavis Staples.

He's just making up stuff that fits his 'agenda' and then criticising what he made up. It's quite common.

No, You did. I just said   the specified record  was garbage.

You started the hypothetical saying '"if I "trashed" Britney Spears"

 

I don't have an agenda on this.  I said what I wanted to say and I don't think there is much point in dragging this out any more.

Good. Does that mean you won't post 'knee jerk' PC stuff anymore?

[psjug]

No, I will post whatever I want as long as Chris doesn't kick me out for it.

He said "Beyonce is crap," which in context has to be interpreted as "Beyonce's music is crap," not a statement about her personally. About Mavis Staples he said "she's on a crusade," which is merely referencing the political message of the album. Neither statement is in any way a comment on, let alone a disparagement of, the women's race.

 

Persistently seeing racism where none was intended is, to me, almost as offensive as racism itself.

Calling people racist fits under the personal attack heading, don't you think?

Drawing attention to it at all  is  'racist'  as you are putting  the 'subject'  in a racial group.

 

As for the 'crusade'  I immediately thought of Bob Dylan when I saw the record title.

Of course you will. I was just asking as you can tell by the question mark.

[psjug]

OK I guess your original comment about her album title had nothing to do with the black part.  Got it.

Right. Like the stir over that H&M hoodie recently.
