Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
I'm sitting here in the library listening to songs that I've downloaded from iTunes when I should be preparing for my last final exam and I'm hit with a perspective that makes me feel old: music form 25 years ago is so much better than the crap that's being pumped out today.
Case in point: I'm listening to I Know There's Something Going On by Frida - I've had the song going through my head for weeks - well, the opening drums anyway - and I finally thought to get it. So I'm listening to it and I think about the technology utilized to put this album together.
I thought about the level of recording technology that's available today and I'm still amazed that recordings sounded so good for that 'primitive' ability.
I listen to Tina Turner/Bryan Adams singing It's Only Love and again I'm hit with a warm & fuzzy feeling of hearing an era of music that won't be heard again.
Then I listen to Joe Satriani on One Big Rush and yet again, there is a style of music that's faded from view: the Guitar Hero.
Ugh - maybe I'm just nostalgic and missing those days of getting an actual vinyl record and slapping it on a turntable. Cause when I listen to stuff from the 80s, I get that over-whelming feeling of trying to teach these kids here at school what it's like to rock....old school cause practically all of the crap coming out today is IMO only so much white noise. (And no, that wasn't a racist comment.)
I guess it's all just a matter of perspective and how that perspective is utilized.
Ahhh, good to know... I thought it was Homeland Security trying to jam my computer... guess I wra

I have to agree... although some of todays stuff is respectable... certainly not much of it.
I, too, miss the old Stones, Zeppelin, CSNY, Mahogony Rush, ACDC, Floyd...
Suite Judy Blue Eyes...
Just so I can hear it when I come by ;-)

And yes, they listen to my old vinyls..

No worries.
The reason you were prohibited from posting is mostly due to increased solar flare activity in the last 24 hours, which can be credited to President Bush for not signing the Kyoto Accords....
