Do you want to read an uneducated opinion on a throwaway piece of music? Do you want to read a shoddily written article riddled with grammar and spelling* mistakes? Of course you do! Here it is.<\/p>\n<p>So there I was listening the radio as I drove back from the airport (a regional programme, of course!) when I heard this funky little tune. It&#8217;s nothing more than a soul loop and some drums, but it had a cool vibe. I thought &#8220;hey, Imma get me summa dat sheeeit&#8221;. So I did, and here we are.<\/p>\n<p>The record in question (lol) is &#8220;Question&#8221; buy KH, or Kieran Hebden, were more acquainted. So I got it home, slapped it on the turntable and enjoyed it a little bit. A little bit less than I was expecting to unfortunately.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1980\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Question.jpg\" --=\"\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1980\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Question-300x300.jpg?resize=300%2C300\" alt=\"KH &quot;Question&quot;\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1980\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1980\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">KH &#8220;Question&#8221; cover.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You see, every time I listen to it I get a bit of a sinking feeling. A hollow feeling right in the pit of my stomach. A little voice in my head whispers &#8220;this isn&#8217;t good, mate&#8221; and &#8220;what&#8217;s this fucking shite, mate&#8221;. My inner monologue has a heavy Scottish accent, and as such is quite succinct and to the point. There&#8217;s just no messing with that cunt.<\/p>\n<p>You see, for as much as I like &#8220;Question&#8221; by KH, I know it&#8217;s not a good record. In actual fact, it&#8217;s exactly the type of record I <em>fucking<\/em> hate. It takes a lovely, interesting loop from an old house track and puts some heavier drums underneath it (see: &#8220;Final Credits&#8221; by Midland). That&#8217;s it. Really, its about ten minute work and is woefully uninspired.<\/p>\n<p>KH didn&#8217;t write that cool little bassline, he didn&#8217;t write the vocals. He didn&#8217;t play those drums or orchestrate anything. He didn&#8217;t sing. KH was listening to some records, liked and section from one very much and said &#8220;Hey, I&#8217;ll put my name on that&#8221;. And that&#8217;s as far as it went.<\/p>\n<p>Then it was played on the radio and a load of fucking IDIOTS (myself included) ran out and bought it. There was no thought process from the artist or the public. The exchanged when as so:<br \/>\nKH: Here&#8217;s this shit piece of music I put together this weekend.<br \/>\nMe: Fuck me, I&#8217;ll buy that!<\/p>\n<p>Worse still, there&#8217;s a bunch of fucking weasel-fucks trying to flip it on Discogs.com for silly amounts of money. <em>THE RECORD IS STILL IN SHOPS AND IS NOT FROM A LIMITED RUN<\/em>. And even if it was, it&#8217;s fucking bullshit boring house music.<br \/>\nI am annoyed. This is killing my vibe.<\/p>\n<p>So what am I going to do? I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;ve depressed myself for the first time in a while here. I am genuinely disappointed that I was <em>duped<\/em> into buying such a thing when I&#8217;d be better off listening to the original sampled records. I mean, fuck, the new drums aren&#8217;t even interesting&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Well, in order to stop people paying inordinate amount of money for this below average record, here&#8217;s a copy.
