What annoyed me was that he is convinced digital just sounds bad.
I've heard the same rubbish from Neil Young too.
had a audiophile friend tell me that once. I pulled out one of my
classical discs and put it on his system. How's that sound, I asked?
Sounds GREAT, says he!
So, I ask him, if one CD can sound good, then it is not the medium is
it? And his eyes got really big... Yeah, that's right!!
All CD's can sound good. If they do not, someone blew it along
the production process line somewhere.
As far as the music itself being bad, I have to say I am sick to the
death of fuggin' classic rock and all that crap. I'd still rather hear
the Ramones than anything Rod Stewart has ever done, but the
Ramones are still not on the radio very often.
Comparing the music from that era to now is a useless excercise.
Wake up!! It's 2006! Time to move on.
I subscribe to American Songwriter mag, and I am sitting here
listening to their sampler. Honestly. some of it is pure crap.
Brainless, uninformed political excreta from Norman Blake and
others, and just plain lame stuff. On the other hand Guy Clark's
"Out in the Parking Lot" ought to be on the damn radio instead of
Mariah or that Aguilera skank... Radney Foster's "Half of My
Mistakes" kicks butt as well.
The culture is degraded, not because it is not the "glorious 60's"
(I almost barfed writing that) but because we have no one but
ourselves to rebel against any more.
Anarchy requires stability to rebel against.
Otherwise, it's just narcissism innit? Look around you.
Is there anything even a little bit stable in the culture?
It's like Marilyn Manson... It's a comedy act. Does he think he's
actually going to shock anyone with the amount of violence on TV
and everyone with 10 channels of gonzo porn?
In 1970 "Long Time Gone" meant something. Now it's just an
opportunity to light up another memory or two...
blaahhhh...
Great stuff is out there. Not "next big thing" not "the new Beatles"
not "the new MIles", but good songs. Too bad they are so hard
to find.
