93: Higher Infinite Power

Cultural Timing and the Commercialization of Music

Mo Facts and Adam Curry discuss how different cultures operate on unique time signatures and rhythms, from Thai hill tribes to South American Samba. They explore "Blue Eyed Soul" and artists like Justin Timberlake or the Rolling Stones who learned from black musical traditions. Mo cites Malcolm X's metaphor about putting too much milk in coffee to describe how mainstream commercialization washes out original cultural expressions.
