Watched 'Respect' biopic about Aretha Franklin the other night. Standard biopic (which IMO never work well and follow similar paths about stardom, troubles and redemption) but worth watching to marvel at the abilities of Jennifer Hudson. Completely believable as Franklin on the singing front and to top that she doesn't mimic as much as re-record.
Sure she has great material to work with but I can't imagine anyone else that could pull it off as she does. Her version of Amazing Grace is simply amazing.Still cracks me up that Simon Cowell showed his true abilities by telling Hudson that she wouldn't make it.
Cowell would argue he was the oracle and he was telling her exactly what she needed to hear.
Still, he's done ok for himself.

Watched a Netflix doc called count me in - all about drumming.
Interesting parts but sort of pointless really as no clear goal or aim to it. Watchable to hear some drumming greats chat but that’s about it
I loved it. The passion they all showed was cool. Stewart Copeland, Chad Smith, Iain Paice and Nicko McBrain were all awesome to listen to.
So yeah it seems you agree with me. There was a lot of focus on a few female lesser known drummers (ok, I'd heard of none of them) so that was one angle. Although it didn't really make sense as a doc to have them speaking with the ones you mentioned above. One thing that was noticeable was that the superstar drummers all comes across as proper down to earth good guys.
I found the thoughts / comments on Moon the most interesting.

Yeah Iain Paice ( a superior drummer in my opinion anyway ) kinda knew he wouldn’t make old bones and was right.

Indeed. Although the work/effort that Perkins (Janes Addiction drummer) had to put in to mimic what Moon did was quite eye opening.

... and now...
I had to go do an AskJeeves to see if they'd ever done a 3rd album while I wasn't looking. Sadly, no.
We're stuck with just the 2 albums of non-stop gold. And a fucking amazingly diverse list of "featuring... " artists. Cat-Power, Mike Patton, RZA, Jack Johnson, Pharrell, DJ Shadow, Del tha Funky Homosapien, Kid Koala, etc, etc. -

Love those two in particular. Patton fronts one of my favourite bands of all time ( but can’t sing like he used to ) and Pharrell is an underrated genius, NER*D are the shit.

N*E*R*D - yeah, whatever happened to that "music which isn't cool but you like" thread? Which pretty much just became a shopping list of fuckin' sweet "bangers".
N*E*R*D is perfect for that. A guilty pleasure. -

N*E*R*D is perfect for that. A guilty pleasure.Nothing guilty about them they’re quirky, talented and they fucken rock.
Those three only scratch the surface.
Pharrell to me is a genuine “Prince” level musical talent.
Great music to have fun with the ladies back in the day.

Well... now that I have official permission, I started to think "N*E*R*D would be pretty sweet motorcyclin' music".
Then realised that I don't currently have my full music collection on hand, to update my phone library.
... So... go online to acquire the necessary files... and discover they've released 2 full studio albums I was unaware of.
Looking forward to checking out the new stuff while riding over Mt Messenger next weekend, I reckon.Edit: and yeah... while I've never been brave enough to compare Pharrell to Prince out loud... I definitely see where you're coming from, and have had the same thoughts myself.

The first three albums were outstanding, the fourth is ok.
I see the most recent ( which I didn’t know existed ) has a collaboration with Ed Sheeran.
Seriously Pharrell, ANYONE but him. Fuck Ed Sheeran and his music.
I’m disgusted and disappointed to put it mildly

@mn5 well the topic is, "What are you listening to right now", maybe he is on hold somewhere, or just listening to it anyway?
