music history knowledge
La Creme:
I think that it is disrespectful to the musicians to listen to their music and not know a shit-damn about what's going on in it. Knowing of bands that sound like bands you like, understanding the music of bands you like, really actively listening (not just passively) to their music, and knowing about the band itself all goes along with being into music. Ignorance is not something that really slides in music. People who listen to music and don't know a shit-damn about it are like people who go to art museums and just walk around, not appreciating anything, just glancing, grunting approval/disapproval, etc.
Seriously, I agree with Spinless. Know your shit, or don't open your mouth.
soak:
I think music history knowledge only really matters when you are attempting to have a meaningful conversation about music. There are plenty of people who I don't want to talk about music to and therefore the less they know the less inclined they would be to try and converse with me.

You mean if, say, Orfeo had a killer swing beat with the bass? I think I just got a hard on...
La Creme:
Preston has a new mission. It involves the above, and 20-minute phaser'd out guitar trances.
