what DO >you >> want people to talk about? > >ABOUT MUSIC !!! > >Not about f**kin Videos, cover artwork, afx's new shoes, plaid's car >which goes boooom, seefeel's brand new . . . > >respect >Rob > right. we're supposed to talk about swe*ring, and cool things like that. to that end, what's up with the ** anyway? afraid your mom might see it? beyond that... there's music in those videos, right? then maybe those videos deserve talking about, as they can possibly show us the difference between how we are perceiving the music and how the artist or the director is perceiving the music. that seems pretty valid to me. cover art. again, how does the artist (or the designers republic =) perceive the piece of music. the cover is the listener's first idea of what they are going to be listening to. this goes for idm, death metal, rap, country, punk, what have you. i totally appreciate cover art, because in a sense, it *is* unnecessary. it's a bonus for the buyer. something pretty to look at while listening to the music. how does that artwork influence how you hear the music. talk away. the rest of your little list. well, why not? it's more fun than just hearing the album. i like to know a little bit about the people who make the music. better to hear that rich has a tank than "he sat in his bedroom and put together another five tracks today." are you saying that there should be no interviews as well? because we might learn something about the artist? sorry... i'd like to hear about plaid's new car... what's the scoop? if people want to go ahead and create their own little list, great. good luck finding new information. maybe that won't matter as long as you can all sit around and agree with each other. i for one truly appreciate this list. without it, i wouldn't know about mu-ziq, squarepusher, ninja tune, rephlex, etc... thanks to all for helping me broaden my musical (and artistic) horizons. alan! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
