L*o, what's the big club music du jour down Barca way?

 

[Duderonomy]

Hah.
Not been to the clubs here, but everything musical here is... more lowkey, and feels a bit like a step back in time, or to a parallel world where the '90s (and extreme clubbing/drug culture/house+techno etc) never happened, which is really odd to me as it all started on one of their islands in the '80s, but I guess it was stigmatised as just something those stupid tourists do.
The Spanish/Catalans just don't view music in the same way as us, and although they freely admit to admiration for the music of the UK as being one of the truly world class exports they are grateful for (they still aren't having Marmite), they don't seem to be that interested in... hmmm, making room for music?
The cafe/terrace culture is all outside. Music would be a step too far in crowded cities where neighbours are already struggling to sleep through the all-night chatter, but even in the winter, inside the bars the Spanish go out to socialise first, debauchery isn't even in second place, and music is incidental. When they do music, it's a concert, a performance that they may join in with the hand-clapping and the chorus if they know the words, it's them paying their full attention to it (and/or money), and they love it, but I wouldn't call it a musical city.

When they do attempt to create some atmosphere it could be at a secondhand market with DJs playing tunes in the sun while people look through vintage t-shirts, or, hilariously, I once witnessed a DJ playing to a car-park on the water front because there was some kind of yacht exposition going on nearby.

Went on a trip to Prague in the spring, and walking along the river bank with the girlfriend we strolled past a bar with tables outside, people sitting in the sun drinking steins of amazing beer, and a couple of massive gig speakers playing a Led Zep tune. Many of the drinkers, whether in groups or alone, were sitting in silence, eyes closed, enjoying the sun on their faces and listening to the music. I pointed out to my gf that in nearly 3 years, I've never witnessed this behaviour from locals in Spain.

music is for the tourists down here.

FTFY b/w They are all waiting for the Cumbia breakdown

Srs doe, I had a similar discussion with a Greek dude I worked with. I think he made a solid point :

His theory was that shit weather kept folls indoors and so forced us shit weather folls into doing music and inventing and such. Also working.

Wheras they would rather be soaking up the vitamin D and ogling totty down the beach - everything else was a "Nice to have".

I had, and still have, absolutely no counter to that.

No wonder manamana Greeks have mad Philosophy.

in my younger days at uni i said something similar to some of my african friends. they told me to shut the fuck up since i knew not what i talked about. they were right.

But seriously, I'm sure the climate vs productivity theory has some (academic?) weight behind it.

 

[Jimster]

Deffo.

I mean, how many Brits are into washing their clothes down by the river? Ay? AY?

EXACTLY.

I'd save a fortune on Persil.

Endtroducing absolutely needs the full orchestra re-interpretation treatment.

A band from Oxford called themselves Introducing and took their cover of the album on tour a few years back, made for a decent live experience:

Back to the music, it's a fucking great mix. Loving the sample recreations that include more elements of the original tracks.

it certainly explains why Siberia was the birthplace of civilization

but maybe you'll find some academics supporting your theory. I think you'll find their books next to the phrenology section at your local library

There is no shortage of academic research into the global north/south developed/undeveloped first world/third world dichotomy.

LOL, defensive much? I didn't say it was my theory, and making observations about climate and its effect on a society/culture's productivity doesn't make somebody a racial elitist. So assuming you are referencing Egypt, the climate of that civilsation was vastly different to the desert landscape of today. I'm not saying it was cold, but all early civilisations were built around agriculture, and the work vs crop yield will impact how much time can be set aside for other advancements, and the drying of their climate probably had a huge impact on the dominance of their empire.

Comparing Australia with England is also instructive: Oz has a strong outdoor culture and has traditionally been a sporting powerhouse for a nation of its size, but isn't as influential on the "ideas" front as England.

I remember reading an interview with Q-Bert and he directly attributed his turntable prowess to the injury that left him with a limp and indoors when he would've otherwise been outside with his friends.
