  • GU 47 Joseph Capriati Montreal

Moan whinge. Here’s a novel idea. Don’t listen.

Has anyone fired Joseph CRAPriati from the comedy cannon yet?

    Millsy Cracking forehand in her day.

        Not even gonna bother with this, the last few have been gash

          hugopal you have a good point. I’m not sure what they are aiming at now. I’m guessing it’s not the same as what their market was fie for the first 10 odd years.

          The majority of us represent those early period and not the last 10 years of their output. But surely that make sense? They aren’t there to please one generation but all generations.

          Personally I think they should relabel the brand to focus on the newer crowd and should closed the GU label a while ago to capture the time period. And create a new brand for this generations crowd to own and love.

            Would people really care about a new compilation brand though? With mixes so readily available online it’s surely already an uphill battle to get people to pay money for a mix compilation. Plus it’s also probably more difficult now to get a DJ to put extra effort in to such a compilation when they also have so many other ways to showcase themselves than just CDs and an occasional ‘Essential Mix’.

            At least GU still has a bit of historical cache and brand recognition that might encourage potential customers to pay a bit more attention, and also hopefully get the DJs to devote a bit of energy in to making it special (though the Lens one felt like a below-par promo teaser from her).

              hugopal I get where you are coming from. I think I was trying to look at it from the angle of being 21 in the scene now. Would I care about all the old GUs? Prob not as that wasn’t my scene, and I want something which represent the here and now
              My mates in our youth who were into band music didn’t want to listen to their dad’s music, but wanted their own scene. You look back now and question why my mates didn’t just listen to the stones and Beatles rather than oasis and blur. But that’s life, the youth want their scene not hang onto an old scene, no matter how good it may have been

                  I will take that as a compliment. But reckon anyone engaging in GU conversations is balls deep in the weeds
