What would you do if you had it your way?
 
Say,you were put in charge of a country,organization,company,record label etc etc.

Please ban music/ and drive it underground/ and maybe when it comes back it will have a pleasing sound

As the Rebel once sang.

I'd probably be the head of a strict commitee that decided wether a record should be thrusted upon humanity or not.One of the strict rules for being part of such a commitee would involve severe banning of liggering(ie no invitations to alcohol-fuelled parties where you make friends with the musicians and therefore you judge their music through your arsehole etc etc).And not being nice to musicians for the sake of it.....never!

Feed and school every single child on earth.
Put an end to deforestation.
Protect all endangered species of wildlife.
Ban all vehicles that run on fossil fuels.

Word. I want in. "Yeah man, I really enjoyed that, great gig". When what I actually mean is, "Your band are awful. I am incensed that I am degrading myself to support your pile of unmitigated shit. I hate that I am compelled to be nice to you when, in fact, I'm only being nice because if I alienate people, I don't get gigs. You talentless, no-mark cunt."

Tokolosh - you're a fucking hippy.

Too many people get gigs and record deals because of their 'niceness'.Nice musicians have never been particularly helpful in the whole process of making good music.Of course,there are nice musicians out there but the ones who deliver,you never care about what their personality is like much,if at all.

From what I've heard, Mark E Smith is a cunt. I've also heard Keiji Haino is a cunt. Conversely, I've met a few fairly well-known indie bands (I shan't be so vulgar as to divulge) and they were genuinely lovely. The latter category's music is appalling. Utterly banal shit. The former category make music that comes very close to rendering all other music irrelevant.

You're an immature git who thinks his record collection and music talk is more important that people. Grow up poseur!
If I had it my way, I'd exterminate the lot of you.

Most so-called musicians really need a reality check.Let's face it,the good people know that the singer/songwriter who plays an acoustic set at the RockmotherfuckingGarden has pulled in,mostly, a crowd of people who think that acoustic guitars are nice and reassuring instruments played by nice and affable blokes who you'd trust alone in a room with your daughter.For our commitee,though,these people should be shot on site and tied up as far as possible from music-making equipment.

Or subjected to the Jandek boot-camp.

Establish maximum wage as opposed to minimum wage
Full development and eventual takeover of electric cars, especially within metropolitan areas
Maximum 2 children produced per individual (believe me, this is an example of me being kind on this one)
If I can't abolish churches, I say tax the hell out of them.

also if anyone starts any wars then they get to explore the outer reaches of space by being blasted there in the shuttle, never to return.

ni'k 10.31.2006 10:53 AM

Let me elaborate for those who need to be spoon fed. There's nothing wrong with cutting down trees for wood etc, as long as it's controlled and they're replaced. At the rate we're chopping down the Amazon rainforest, there won't be any trees in the next 20-30 years. The size of France is being flattened every 5-7 years. On top of that, the rare medicinal plants that we depend on for cure's, are rapidly disappearing, and will soon cease to exist.


There are other alternative ways to create jobs for the people you so strongly defend, instead of ripping them off, by paying them minimum wages for THEIR natural resources that land up in our homes.
Now, you'll probably think that I'm picking on you, but your interpretation of my wish being a racist comment shows how ignorant you are.

I don't buy indigenous wood of any kind. Do you?

All well and fine but for the time being the only wages that they are likely to get is what they get.I also don't believe that chopping trees is as bad as it is made out to be.Besides,there are more urgent problems to deal with than the silly amazonic forest dilemma.

If there are more urgent problems to deal with, why are your posts about having a strict commitee that decided wether a record should be thrusted upon humanity or not. Maybe I'm being to serious, but with a thread topic of this nature, it would be completely absurd to ignore REAL important issues.

Hush up Tokolosh!Who are you?princess diana?

Tokolosh 10.31.2006 11:40 AM
No need to loose your temper pork. This is supposed to be a board that's open for discussion, not bitching or ridiculing.
