in re: the old debate
uh, i am clocking m'self for 15 min.
music snobbery is a good thing. it means taste. but it should not mean
ignorance. i am always willing to listen to new stuff, old stuff, and
have even heard a christina aguliera cd. that i hated everything but the
booklet art doesn't mean i'm being a snob; it means i reject
formula...mostly. don't care if somebody's popular--that's what POP is about.
even as i write this, i am downloading stuff from napster. and i have
never done this before (except from david white's site, otherwise how
would i have heard "middle distance runner"?). but all this talk about
baxendale, sodastream, badly drawn boy, sigur ros, hefner... curiosity
may have killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back.
in salad days at uni (more like generic mac&cheese) i would tape other
peoples albums, and i have yet to bring the giant megacorps to their
knees. and how many of those taped albums have i bought? fill in the blank....
today i can't afford to go and splurge like i used to, but i want to
know what i'm missing. and if i like what i hear enough, i'll find the
wherewithal to pick up what turns me on.
and speaking of that
oh, and mr. miller? uncle dave macon was more of a producer than an artist.
g'nite
