Eh heh heh. Found out soemthign quite funny.

Before I even listen to Dev, I wrote a song, with the lyrics:
"Sooner or later In the night of the Satyr,
I'll come and I'll take her away"

I just listened to 'Wrong Side' by SYL, and what do I hear?

"Sooner or later the nights with the satyr
Will bring back the memory"

ANd it was in nearly the same damn melody too. So now I can't use those damn lyrics. xD

Embarassingly,I didn't know who wrote that beautiful piece. (actually, I kinda thought Devy put it together at first)
Sublime piece

Piece is called "Timor et Tremor", but it's rather heavily sliced and mangled in "Voices", so sounds quite different.

So somebody reads it? Hooray!

Thanks :)

You think music is dead? I'd say just the opposite - there's more exposure and labels than there ever were! And so much music - it's not just the 'elite few' playing for the subservient masses. In that respect it's more like the days when jazz flourished.

Actually, I think that's exactly what he was saying. Speaking out against people who think music is 'dead.' :)

Yeah, his note essentially says this. It's an argument against the death of music.

Not the song, of course.

Hard to argue against that...

I for one believe that music is stronger than ever. Bands keep trying new things and keep coming out with different sounding albums. Younger bands are becoming more progressive and evolving their sound constantly(Between The Buried And Me's "Colors" for example)

Music is far from dead, if anything it was closer to being dead in the mid 90's (mainstream music at least, we all know the underground was pretty much thriving with bands like Opeth and Meshuggah releasing some of their best albums)

I think that music is doing well in the sense that many groups are utilizing the internet to advertise and gain recognition instead of using labels and record companies for that. What with myspace, and downloadable albums, facebook, pandora, last.fm.... bands are taking matters into their own hands. Seems the record company which is really a glorified middle man has almost been cut out completely in some cases, and music spreads by word of mouth more.

So in that sense - yes. Alive.

I do think that record companies are in trouble though - at least I hope so. You push and push and push people into a corner... they're going to climb out the window. So I hope things are changing for the better. :)

I was more or less getting at creativity in music. Most people think that music died in the 80's (it really did, have you heard some of that horrible, horrible excuse for music that has come from the 80's?!)

Not only did music somewhat die in the 80's, it was most definitely reborn in so many ways. The metal movements for example.

Record companies are pretty much screwed, distribution companies may be as well. The problem with this is that bands DO make money off of record sales, granted its much less than they tend to make off of touring.

Music constantly keeps getting stronger.

We have everything that people had in the past + all the new stuff. Nobody is stopping you from listening the oldies. :D

Music will always be awesome. Always has been. Always will.

Random thought: I watched SYL live at the Download Festival the other day and couldn't help but think, am I the only one who notices that Dev's hair gets stuck to his nose and for the rest of the concert there's a big wad of snot on his face? :shock:
