I honestly thought it was a given that the original film was solid gold to music fans overall.

Just swapping out a character’s ethnicity or sexuality but giving them the exact same personality is a strange (and lazy) choice.

It’s also strange that it seems to confront nothing about the contemporary culture that a millennial might actually be facing – the record store getting priced out of Brooklyn because of soaring rents, maybe? This is setting up more like a standard rom-com.

Obviously I loved it. As a 14 year old, I definitely understood the point of the film was that a complete asshole slowly realizes he was so wrong and he eventually got to a place where he understood he was the asshole, and in the wrong. I also understood that the film showed people obsessing over things isn’t healthy but also it’s not unhealthy to be so passionate about something (music) that your passions about it can lead to.

I don’t think the justification for remaking this show should be “it was problematic so we had to remake it.” And honestly I don’t think that is the point of the remake. I think it was a great film and they were like “great concept, let’s run it back, but we have to make some new characters and change it up a bit so let’s have fun by mixing it up a bit.”

I could be wrong, but the show is not awful, and the respect and love for the original does come across in the tv show.

But it’s a weird move in general and its a hard one. I’ve loved the ways this comment section has dissected and veered off, lots of great points being made about all kinds of stuff.

I don’t like that they used the same name, maybe they could’ve used a different name (“Brooklyn Vinyl”, “Championship Record”????), it kind of seems like they used the name in order to attract people who loved the original book / movie and that is definitely a lame move.

If this show was called “Brooklyn Vinyl” and just made a bunch of references to High Fidelity (like “hey we know this show is similar to the beloved film you all love and we are going to reference it a bunch so you know that we know that you know” it would be a better show.

Sorry, I know I’m making a lot of different points here but the final one I have is, I’m halfway through the series and it is not that bad. Honestly the worst parts of the show are when they literally quote the original film verbatim. Like, I’ve seen the original so many times it makes me cringe when they take entire scenes and quote them verbatim. The times when they veer off and go in different directions from the original are the most entertaining and funny parts of this show!

In conclusion, the show is not terrible, but it is very lame they took something so special and used the exact same name in a naked attempt to attract the same viewers that have a special place for High Fidelity in their hearts.

I’m not disagreeing with your basic point, but I don’t think this is a good example of it. Racist jokes =/= depicting racism.

I have no idea what the context of this tweet is, and I’d probably disagree with it, but the basic claim seems unobjectionable to me.
If I go to a party and meet someone who makes a sexist joke, I do assume they’re sexist. Likewise if I go to an open mic night and hear someone making sexist jokes. The key thing for me, though, is that not all jokes about gender are sexist. But once you’ve crossed the line into “sexist joke” territory, it really is your fault.

I remember liking the movie version of High Fidelity, and then finding the book and reading it. It seemed clear that the message of both was “don’t be like Rob,” and that was the lesson Rob needed to learn to find redemption as a character, he needed to change his worldview and behavior to grow up, and actually have mature relationships.

On the one hand, I have no problem with changing the gender and ethnic portrayals of characters in new adaptations of source material, like comic books, Little Mermaid, Ghostbusters, etc., having kids see someone who looks like them in blockbuster entertainment is better than only seeing people who look like those in power. On the other hand, I don’t know if High Fidelity is blockbuster entertainment that will be seen by a lot of people, let alone kids.

And then there is also the question of in order to actually shift the power dynamics, it’s important to have diverse people involved in ownership, executive producers, writers and directors telling stories that give voice to voices that are excluded. I don’t think changing the on screen faces for High Fidelity does that.

Basically, I am adding the point that you might as well make a different series created by someone else rather than rehash something created by a British guy in the 90’s, especially if you are having to do any damage control over potentially problematic elements in the source material. If you are really committed to the source material, and see it as about a critique and evolution of the protagonist, might as well set it in 90’s UK and show it on the BBC.

I am probably willing to check it out, maybe these actors are great, and the creatives did a good job, and if it’s compelling I will watch. Just reading this review, I have a lot of questions though.

I love Sockner’s input around here. And believe it or not some of it gives me pause. I find myself questioning longheld beliefs and wonder if they still (or ever) hold water. Which is the opposite of commentary by cp. Which typically only solidifies my righteousness on virtually everything I hold dear. They’ve effectively canceled each other out in my mind. That’s why I’ve decided to stop reading either’s commentary. Seems pointless

I feel like most of this article misses the point of the original book/film. The women in the original story are the only ones mature enough to take things in their stride as opposed to the men who who cling onto these weird obsessions in order to cope. It’s harsh to say a story pointing out these male flaws is chauvinistic.

it’s because it’s narcissistic to think that people will remember your name and avatar long enough to remember what you said earlier in order to know you well enough to know that you are being sarcastic. And yes, before anyone says anything, that is the next 1975 album title.

I’ll try and be serious here, since I’m one of the few regular female commenters and have also frequently considered stopping commenting entirely due to feeling freezed out as a chick.

A lot of the way music criticism runs is kind of exclusionary and unintentional, like the vaunting of male artists over female artists, looking past problematic and outright abusive male artist behavior while villifying female artists over minor missteps, and downplaying the talent, historical importance and influences of female musicians. I don’t think anyone intentionally wanted the Pitchfork top 2010’s albums list to have one woman in the top 10, and at #10 at that, but that’s the way people voted. Male artists get more coverage and accolades, and if you’re a woman who relates more to music by women generally, you see less content that you feel compelled to comment on and discuss. So it becomes a cycle: you see less of what speaks to you, so you participate less, so there’s even less of what speaks to you posted.

Furthermore, frequently dudes in the music criticism scene not only don’t realize they’re being exclusionary, but seem entirely unwilling to listen to anyone who points it out. There isn’t a lot of openness to criticism. See how any conversations about how the constant dunking on pop music reads as territorially pissing by straight guys who don’t want to let girls and gays into the clubhouse, and how many people seem unable to comprehend that this behavior makes women and LGBT people feel unwelcome. Even pointing out imbalances might end up in a spat over “maybe women just weren’t making good music this decade”.

Adding to that, a lot of us ladies have had bad experiences trying to talk about music and having been more intentionally excluded, and so we frequently walk on eggshells. I’m strategic in how I engage with a lot of the content here in case anyone comes at me to drill me on how much I actually know about music, because I’ve walked into record stores and been dismissively told unprompted that “we don’t carry Britney Spears” or “I wouldn’t expect you to know Massive Attack” or been talked to like a child when I’ve expressed interest in cult classic artists. As a teen I used to namedrop cult artists I didn’t even like just to get cred enough to talk about the artists I did like. For a long time, I felt like if I was going to present my opinion on something in music, I couldn’t sound casual, I had to sound authoritative and knowledgeable. It often made participating too stressful to be worth it. It’s only in the last year or so where I’ve felt enough trust with the community here to feel like I can participate off-the-cuff.

I have a private social media channel with a bunch of music-loving internet friends – mostly women – and it’s much more carefree and low-stakes to participate there. Problem for me is that I like Stereogum music more than the music popular there.

Anyway, that’s probably a sample of many factors in why women don’t participate often in these places. Which is a shame, because if we had more women commenting it’d probably be cumulatively more friendly to women generally.

I love you, ‘Gum. Wouldn’t trade you for the world, warts and all. Glad I was able to step past a lot of my old habits and participate here.

“Walking on Sunshine” will now be replaced by Smash Mouth’s “Walking on the Sun,” in a move that somehow didn’t get the music director fired.
I don’t know who they’re going to replace B&S with, but I’m going to be grumpy about the gall of it regardless of who they choose.

So why do women not come on boards like this in large numbers. Well when the discussion for years has excluded people like Joni Mitchell in favor of people like Bob Dylan when they should be talk about with the same reverence.

My friend Lindsey used to say she liked Neko Case because she could imagine herself singing those songs. When you are younger that is part of the fun. Being a dreamer and imagining yourself in place of the person coming out of your speakers. It’s a powerful form of listening that makes casual music fans into lifers. There’s so much more opportunity to do that now, and I’d hate to see it not happen because we think the larger music conversation is something only dudes like.

A Newman’s own style soup brand for Van Halen called Can Halen. So right away I said this is the worst thing ever ( I hate Van Halen) but ! I’m going to pitch this

Can Halen
1.david lees broth
2. Clammy Hagar (it’s chowder) (( sucks like him))
3. David’s split pea soup
4. Running with the lentil
5. And the ladle will rock ( chunky stew)
6. Ghosts pepper chili (hot for teachers )

And now I apologize

A lot of that comes from the fax that music has been dominated by men for so long. But that is changing. And it’s why I don’t like having categories like “female songwriters” be a measure of comparison. There’s no reason to do that, but there’s also no reason to make activities like enjoying music enthusiastically male centric. Once again we are assuming something about women that has nothing to do with biology and everything to do with the historic minimizing of women in this industry.

very reasonable! writer did a really poor job of contextualizing that quote, though. The tone of that full excerpt versus the tone of the quotes in this piece are worlds apart.
