I've actually been on a bit of a music starve recently... I'm down to movie music dagnabit! MOViE MOOSIC!

Although I have to admit Dust Brother's Fight Club music really isn't that bad, and as for that guitar strumming in 28 Days Later, I Must Get That...



Sortelli. I read through all that... Amazingly readable in comparison to others, strange...

And I don't know what I listen to... Music mostly... With beats... and geetahs...

You all need to relax and listen to Polysics:

Japanese bands are quite successful in siging off-key and out-of-tune. Then there's the very few that are actually good. Of course, it's been 5 - 6 years since I last lived there...

Van Halen - now there's a real band... I just wish someone could tell me what was up with their latest album.

Sortelli, I also read through all of your post.

Nothin is wrong with music nowadays! I hate when someone says: oh how music was great once, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, yada yada. It's been twenty-thirty years since then and what was bad was forgoten. Latest music is a mix of what is bad and will be forgoten and the other. Nothing much changes.

Get used to it dude!

Music is honestly hardly as exciting as it used to be. Rap, pop, black po... oops, R&B, and even some rock acts have but killed anything resembling good music. Avril Lavigne!? Come on, she may be cute but her lyrics are as crap-filled as Jennifer Love Hewitt's! The most scary part being, most pop acts don't even write their own material! Imagine how terrible it would be if they actually wrote their own stuff (OK, there's a slight chance that it might be better).

But there's no more innovation in rock-- hasn't been since the mid-80's. It's all run out. The fact is, we're talking about a narrow musical form which has been absolutely saturated. Now we're just back on repeating the 50's/60's formula, except with more and more distorted guitars and postmodern lyrics (or more and more horrible synthesizers for the pop crowd).

That is so totally true.

I don't demand innovation to get into music today, but I would like a little less whiney mopey My Parents Suck and I'm Frustrated music. By a little less, I mean None At All. I at least have the comfort of knowing that such tunes will probably not be played on the golden oldie stations of the future, unless there are a lot of people who still live with their parents and are frustrated at the tender age of 50.

Rock may be dead innovation-wise, but I will hang around with the shambling zombie husk that it has become until I die.

Odd ->

The line most of good music goes nowadays is merging rock with techno, refreshing rock and humanizing techno. Radiohead, Portishead, Tricky, Moby, even Blur - they are all good music to me, and also inovative, experimental.
Note that before Beatles nobody wrote their own songs too.

You know, I don't actually believe that rock is dead. There's nothing new you can do, but you can still reinvent stuff and you can still be innovative as well. I simply think rock is dead because people go with the same formula, siging about the same stuff, etc. Any music shows on TV will certainly have you believe that rock is dead.

I still believe in rock. I just don't believe in formula-based music (that's just about everything in the top 30).

I don't care if people write their own songs or not, but please, I wish they'd stop stealing- oops, I mean "remaking" other people's songs...

Not to be a semantic pest, but you guys are confuzing Techno music with Electronic music.

Electronic is anything synthesized. Techno is a sub-genre of Electronic (like Trance, Electronica, Jungle, etc.)

Sorry to interrupt! ^_^

That's just plain untrue. Elvis didn't, but all of the actually important early rockers (Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, etc.) wrote their own songs. There have always been pop singers who didn't write their own material, and there probably always will be, but the real problem is when the people who DO write their own songs are falling back on formula.

Oh, and by the way, those bands (such as Radiohead) who're being all "innovative" by combining rock and electronica... that was all done already in the 70's and 80's, sorry.

Yeah, but they did it with bellbottoms on and tacky, unpredictable hair!

Ya Know, I seem to like electronic music personally, but I'm not above a classical song once in a while. I tend to act in phases.

Also, I don't know why nobody out here hasn't insulted the French. Those baguette-eating snobs need a good slur against them

*Cricket chirping*

Uhh... anyone got one?

This seems like a good place to post this record review I did the other day.



Rock isn't dead; it's just in hiding.

Kevin, I love you.

i dislike the Donnas, but at least in their newer stuff the 'singer' is singing more than talking

How often do you and your Commie compatriots meet? How many are in your cell? Answer the question, Mr. Chigger!
