Smart People Listen To Radiohead, Dumb People Listen To Beyoncé, Study Finds

Now you can substantiate to today’s generation why that '60s and '70s era’s music was objectively "better," as JPMorgan's CIO Michael Cembalest has previously noted, and furthermore, researchers also found that popular music has gotten a lot louder (as SAT scores have plunged.. hhmm?) However, as Consequence of Sound notes, a software application writer by the name of Virgil Griffith has charted musical tastes based on the average SAT scores of various college institutions... and the results are.. interesting. Bob Dylan, The Shins, Radiohead, and Counting Crows are the favorite bands of smart people. Meanwhile, Lil Wayne, Beyoncé, The Used, and gospel music comes in at the lower end of the spectrum — or, as Griffith puts it, is music for dumb people...

That's raaaciss.
 
I saw an interview of Beyonce before...she sounded really dumb.

But that may have just been her accent. She obviously knows how to make money.

Jack Bruce, Cream bassist, dies at 71

Jack Bruce, the Scottish bassist and singer best known for his work with 1960s hard rock pioneers Cream, died on Oct. 25 at his home in Suffolk, England. He was 71.

Bruce's death was announced by his family on his official website. No cause of death was cited. "It is with great sadness that we, Jack's family, announce the passing of our beloved Jack: husband, father, granddad and all 'round legend," the brief statement read.

Though he maintained substantial renown within musical circles both before and after his stint with Cream, the band's four-album run was nonetheless the commercial high point of Bruce's career. A supergroup composed of Bruce, Eric Clapton on guitar and Ginger Baker on drums, the band played a pivotal role in the development of hard rock and heavy metal, and along with fellow power trio the Jimi Hendrix Experience, set new standards for instrumental virtuosity in rock music.

Featuring Bruce on lead vocals, the band's originals like "Sunshine of Your Love," "White Room" and "I Feel Free" would quickly become standards, and the group's third album, "Wheels of Fire," was the first double-LP to go platinum, effectively legitimizing the format.

Cream was burdened by interpersonal combustion almost from the start, and the band broke up after a farewell tour and a fourth album, appropriately titled "Goodbye," was released in 1969. Bruce stayed extremely busy in the years following, recording solo album "Songs for a Tailor" that same year, forming another short-lived power trio, West, Bruce and Lang, in the early 1970s, and playing with everyone from John McLaughlin to Lou Reed and Frank Zappa.

I'm listening to Fruit by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour. Such an eclectic and cool band. The lead singer's voice takes some getting used to, though.

Also, their album Out of Frequency isn't nearly as good. And from what I've heard of their new one, it kinda sucks.

This is their most popular song. I think it was in a beer commercial or something a few years ago.





 
I don't know how this ended up on my trinket. I think it's because J.R. Blackmore (Ritchie's boy) is assisting here on the guitar. I don't know who this is singing but I'm digging the energy on that drummer girl for sure.





Edit - I know how it got on there now. I have that Winners (EBC ROXX) album on there. The whole album is Blackmore's project, I think.
