personally, ive just been listening to a a lot of michael jackson

 

There is nothing fucking wrong about the state of music today. I am sick of everyone complaining about shit was better back in the day blah blah blah blah. I am sure if you actually living in that time, you would be complaining about the same thing.

 

no this isnt a nostalgia trip, im looking for something new and interesting

allright you havent given me a lot to work with . But if you like Gang Gang Dance, check out the new Oneida album called "Rated O". I am not a big fan of Hot Chip but I would think Cut Copy's In Ghost's Colors would be similar.

i used "bands" in consideration of the board im posting on.

 

expect ppl to talk off topic like that for the rest of your life....winning the conversation is more important than understanding your point

blame the internet, MTV and mass media. everyone is influencing everyone else's sound these days, so everyone starting to sound like the same, stale old shit.

 

that, and people keep buying shit, so people keep making it.

I don't see why the temporal situation in which a record was created must affect any human being into deciding whether or not he should be listened to that album.

 

 

In a certain way, you are completely ignoring the inevitable values of objectivity and are applying subjectivity over the time notion. It is irrelevant, a record will always be past anyway when you listen to it.

 

So why keep being stuck on wanting something "present" ?

Didn't we just have this thread? About how the 00's have sucked so far culturally?

 

Look at the output from just Aphex and AE alone in the 00's and tell me this decade has sucked.

the only way to get around that is to block all external influences, accept your past and move inward. thats the only way we're going to get truly original stuff

because attitudes change over time, revealing more about the situations we currently find ourselves in. this is not to invalidate past contributions. all true expression is beautiful

i partly agree with this. however, i think the problem is more to do with being saturated by it all and the ease of which we can access all this media. it was a different fucking game when i was spinning in the mid '90s.

the ease of access should facilitate expression.

or influence! but yes, music is a progressive art. someone is always inspired by someone or something else.

The music doesn't change. If you really need something "fresh", then the problem sits elsewhere than in the quality of the music that was ever produced. So where do you draw the line between what is new and what isn't? In fact there is probably enough beautifully recorded content available to satisfy most of us for the rest of our lives musically, but you need no boundaries or subjectivity in your mind.

hmm.. youre absolutely right. i guess we're our own worst enemies in this respect. with new media comes the greater chance to access whats already been accomplished.. maybe we should all move past the internet.. and into ourselves

 

this is seriously getting embarrassing

 

save us, righteous unpretentious one
