Quote:i’ll tell you why, and it’s simple really. If the artist wants to continue being an artist (e.g having money to spend on things like food and booze, he’s dependant on the art consumer to some extent, unless he wants to live of governmental grants, which again will have dramatic consequences on the amount of especially booze for the artist, and so he’ll have to adapt to, or at least to some extent adapt to how the consumer wants his work delivered.Simple as that.
Yes, simple it is. And pointless and of no concern here. We are talking of ONE SINGLE RELEASE here. Maybe not releasing everything on vinyl only is how MP adapt to the market situation. Ever thought of that? So cut them some slack with this one new album.
I think you still haven’t understood what I was trying to point at. You, I and we don’t have any given “right” to the artist’s art, so there’s nothing to bitch about. If you don’t want to own a record player, that’s your decision. So be it, live with it. I don’t see where your problem is, how you cannot understand the artists choices and decisions. This isn’t about being the perfect fan, for me it’s simply basic common sense. They don’t want you to buy a record player. They probably do it – gasp! – for fun! Because they themselves are album kids, as Bent stated. Cherishing it with one release. Only one. Now. What’s so hard to grasp about this?
Geez, usually people get mad when their cult band go major or something. WAAAH! SELL OUT!!!! Our boys simply hang on to the trip they’re on. Bad luck for our ipods. How cool is that?
Quote:It is fully possible to survive as a musician, don’t let the anti piracy agency tell you otherwise, it’s a matter of how you adapt to the new channels for music distribution, rather than just being such a friggin ludite as our long-haired snÃ¥sakaill and his friends is increasingly resembling.Why? This debate is on for a while now. Why does the artist have to adapt to anything? Why the fuck why? So it’s down to the consumer to dictate the form and distribution of art? What really annoys me is how some folks state this as a given. This sucks so unbelievably big time. As soon as the artist has to adapt to the consumer’s latest gadget, society is royally screwed. And we’re on the fast lane there, because so many folks are too dumb to think for an inch and aren’t even ashamed about it.
In this special case it’s up to MP to release their stuff on vinyl or CD or one download song per month or not at all. And here people probably make too much of it anyway. I guess the band just wants to celebrate vinyl with this one special release.
Geez I hate this self righteous consumers’ rights crap. [insert john cleese fistshaking]
a record player for 500 euros???? where do you live?
and generally, please stop this debate. the band wants a vinly only release, so what? there might be a year when they don’t release anything at all. will we complain about that too?
Ah a webshop, silly me. But I think this really isn’t up to date. Not even LLM or BHBC to buy. This bag is the old black one I already have. There’s another one on Stickman.
wooohoooo:

though he’s not really off, actually…
Quote:Seriously? He was off note and off beat the whole song through, ruining an otherwise cool song. That’s what i think..Of course he’s off, but that doesn’t ruin anything for me. It’s the soul that counts. Some perfectly-trained-on-pitch moooooon in juuuuune singers can ruin songs for me. I’m looking at you, Mr Creed and Dream Theater. Well… not that there’s much to ruin there anyway.
It’s also weird that a guy can impersonate Jello so perfectly. Do you know The Jesus Lizard? David Yow made singing out of tune a fantastic piece of art.
“i’m never quite as brilliant as i am when i am dumb”
I see this as ignorance on purpose. It’s kinda tricky to nail, because it feels as if Bent switches positions from verse to verse. He takes a numb position to deal with the annoyances around him, then he clearly won’t be led to anything he wouldn’t want to.
Or does he simply personify the dumbass to uncover the braindead? Similar to Kill Devil Hills, but this time dropping the neutral 3rd person’s view?
