Jim Morrison predicts Dubstep in 1969,
er, kinda

but still, this seems quite forward thinking for 1969.
I suppose "Switched on Bach" came out the year before, but still, nice predictifyin' furry face.

I remember when my cousin showed me that video, I thought it would make a great sample to put in a track. Retro futurism!

Although I don't think he was predicting dubstep, because he said "someone singing and relying on machines", which sounds more like a description of Mathias Aguayo or Björk

Holy shit at first there I thought this was a cocker spaniel video, but it turned out it was just their stupid haircuts.

Saw this awhile back and thought his prediction was pretty accurate. But why dubstep?


Edit: More like NIN

why dubstep?
because I couldn't think of the word for what he was describing ... which was probably more like Howard Jones, or Thomas Dolby, or someone like that.
and I was a bit drunk. So I thought - fuck it, put the first "one man on a computer" music word that comes into my head.

the part of the url at the end is a youtube anchor for time you want it to start at.

#t=8m52s in this case, obviously it works on any video, any time.

Very cool.

Jupiter by Gustav Holst. The 'drop' is a half time rhythm.
