Ken,
I think that this music is not only hilarious, but it also speaks to
something that may actually be important to note. I'll explain.
In our lovely internet generation we are able to share world wide events
with people world wide. The internet is also becoming a repository of old
historical items that seem to have little or no significance to our modern
world, yet are unusual or tell a story about a time that has past.
There are things that are far too unique to pass up and NOT share with
others. Sometimes the key to comedy is surprise.
What tends to make a song like the ones on Prasanth's Bandcamp page funny
or even 'strange' are numerous-I'll highlight my thoughts:
1. It is on the internet. The world wide web. This
musician/videographer/artist can be searched for, and he can search for
others to share his music.
2. If Prasanth is attempting to appeal to an American or European
audience, he has the ability with the WWW to listen, view, and search for
items that are trending, or even what those in pop would sound or look
like. Not saying this is his intent however.
3. He has a 50 minute movie on Youtube-where he lists himself as doing
EVERYTHING. The man has _some_ talent, however it's not something that we
here in our insulated little bubble can appreciate (boxer Manny Pacquiao is
a pop star in the Phillipines-and I think that Prasanth's voice is about as
good as Manny's).
and...
For those of us who are creative souls; those of us who work tirelessly
on creating music and compositions and are trying like heck to get our
voices and sounds heard and played-many of us realize that a track like
this one illustrates a great point. Not all of us are born musical genius.
Sometimes what sounds great in the studio or starts off as a great idea
can fall flat everywhere else. And, for those of us who have failed at
times (one of the meanings of FBK is "Failures By Kevin")...we like to know
that we aren't alone.
For these reasons, it's worth listening to, and sharing with others.
It brightened my day. I had a great laugh with one of my producer friends
over it. I'll point out that there are parts of the recording that are
good as well!
Music is polarizing. It's not always created to make you think. Or make
us dance wildly on the floor, or even make us cry. Music encompasses the
entire range of human emotion, and listening to this made me feel
something. It may not be what the artist intended me to feel, however it
did more than most of what I hear on Beatport does-which is to say that it
grabbed my attention enough to listen to the whole 4.5 minutes.
Please, let's not take life so dang seriously...there's time and music for
that...Sometimes you have to hear bad to be able to compare what is good.
