I am having to admit to age more and more often. Most of the popular electronically created dance music these days doesn't appeal to me very much. Thank goodness, keeps me from looking like the old hag on the dance floor. -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Jussi Salmi Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 1:58 AM To: The moon: beautiful.

Well, I have to admit, that I myself feel generations away from the hit music of today. When I was young, in the eighties, music that was clearly a project of a record company and that had the sole meaning of making money, was bashed in the media, and people actually didn't want to listen to such music. It seems that record companies have a lot of power on what kind of music people listen to today. But I guess the eighties were not free of this phenomenon either, things must have been going in that direction ever since the seventies or maybe even the sixties. I've given some thought to the question, whether this is just me getting old or is this a real phenomenon, the older generation is always talking of the golden times, but I'm sure, that music business has actually changed. A notable turn was when the "boy bands" like New Kids on the Block became massively successful, they were clearly formed by the record company. It made me scared when I heard that many radio stations get paid by record companies to play songs that they have published. This is definitely bad for musical creativity, since the record companies don't do the creative part, the artists do. -- Jussi Salmi http://staff.cs.utu.fi/~jussalmi/

which is sort of why I tend to favour underground/small label output. I'd much rather support those struggling low profile artists than the machinery of the big labels. besides, there's a lot more life & progression amongst those low profile artists than most of the big glitzy pop crap. me, i've always been a sucker for good electronic music. and there's a lot of life & variety in that sector today. --- Agust "nemesis1" - aaj@centrum.is - ICQ: 1290264 - http://nem1.cjb.net free your :) [tm]
The earliest example I know of where the record company dictated to the band was the Beach Boys. -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Jussi Salmi Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 2:43 AM To: The moon: beautiful.

I am reminded of a vision, I dreamed I saw Rod Stewart, in top hat and tails, singing frank sinatra style songs. No wait! Was it a dream? (the very first concert I ever went to was Rod Stewart's Young Turks tour, he wore pink with purple leapard spot leggings - oooh they looked so good! [and yes I can't believe I really liked it])[I still do~!] -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of vtchatman@webtv.net Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 10:02 PM To: The moon: beautiful.

Au Contraire! mes amis, Music (especially YELLO) is, or should evolve, develop, grow, twist, morph, advance, in general, CHANGE especially from album to album. Look at the POLICE, as with YELLO, they have an unmistakable sound, yet their experience and skill (art and craftsmanship) is clearly notacable with each album. The opposite end of the spectrum, where the band or artist simply spits out more if the exact same is best exemplified by THE ART OF NOISE. While I do enjoy their playfulness, and sound, I didn't buy their third album, as the first two sound exactly alike, and there is no audible sense of development.(in no sense nonsense...) Music is very much alive, and always will be, I recommend that you change your radio station to catch the better stuff that is out there. Internet radio is an excelent source for finding new music, especially the college and university stations, but a word of advise there, make sure that you check out their programme guide (timetable/schedule) to avoid the "Funk and Wagnesterns" talk hour, unless you get off on listening to people rant and rave because someone took their parking spot on campus, or spilt coffee on their notes.... TUNE IN (or tune out... it's your choice) Laurens van Graft The Grip Guy All your gymnastics grip needs right here!

If you want to discover new great music... Then I think this is the best source around. http://www.kcrw.com I think it's simply the best radio station out there. You can listen to it on line through the website. Or you can find it in iTunes Radio tab under "eclectic" category. On Jan 19, 2005, at 7:41 PM, Laurens van Graft wrote:
