...since Rock and Roll began.
Endless synthesised vocals, DJ mashups and Karaoke with revolving chairs sit at #1.
Will there ever be another Sex Pistols?

One hell of a ride.

Oh Gawd - I hope not - repetition is just boring ...

With you on this one BD. Modern music seems directionless and twee. We have awesome back catalogues of music, which is great, but we need a new punk or grunge movement to re-energize things. And by that, I dont mean a rehash of the old punk or grunge genres.
One hell of a ride.

And yet in 20 or 30 years a group of old farts sitting around a forum will be saying exactly the same thing...
The age of the 'album' is over so things change. I guess music is as much a single 'performance' art form now with the visual aspect being as important as the musical...
Anyway - new music still happens - we just stopped looking for it.
One hell of a ride.
Nah. I trawl.
Jools Holland is still a good source if you don't already go there.
There are several modern bands I do dig, but their main appeal is the way they 'cross' two earlier bands.
And I'm not buying the Grumpy old man bit either. I don't like Beiber as much as I didn't like The Bay City Rollers.

Selective memory, cast your mind back to 1977 when Radio Hauraki played the top 40 all day..... you had to tune in to Barry jenkins to hear the Sex Pistols.
Technology these days might be good, but the raw brain material is sadly lacking.
DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
Low personal B.M.E.P.
I'd argue that the new revolution is already here - but it's the media rather than the music. Youtube has a lot to answer for IMO.
The new Sex Pistols may actually be out there but how the hell do you find them in the sheer volume of crap on the net...
The old system of "labels" had a few things going for it - at least if an A&R man was impressed enough to sign someone on, they followed through and ensured the musical standard of what went on sale was acceptable.

Sadly grumpy old men are the last to know that they are in fact grumpy old men...
One hell of a ride.
Hmmm. Different memory. In Aus we had Radio JJ and 'Rage' all-night music vids. They made alternate music very accessible.
What I should have said in the opening gambit is 'popular' music.
One hell of a ride.
Good point - across all media.
One hell of a ride.
I'll let you know when I get there.

Jeez .. is that old fart still alive ??? I was reading him in NME last century !!!
In many ways I think you're right .. I haven't listened to much music out of the western world since 1981 - when I first heard World Beat ... it's still the predominant music form I buy today (If you can count such a diversity as a form)
Rock and Roll is the music of teenage rebellion - I haven't been a rebellious teenager for many many years (I might be rebellious, just not a teenager) I do not expect to relate to the rebellious teenage music of today ...

'Later' is a good show if only for its eclectic mix. He drags out a few old farts, mixes in some world music, and features one or two up-and-comers playing live in the studio.

The day the Autotune was created heralded the birth of the devil.
Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem
