Yeah... I live in the twilight zone.

I'm sorry.

You mention the music industry dying I have two songs that directly cover that topic, "I Hate Music" and "Bad Skillz" the later was uploaded with my last batch so I'd guess that one. But it could be anything...

I've always wanted to finish a real collab. But they always seem to fail. I am never sure how much I'm expected to contribute to the project. If it's too much I feel over whelmed, too little I feel like I'm not really participating in the creative process. I don't even know if I'm able finish a collaboration I'd be more willing to start one.

As a musician it is a pain to witness my art form dying. Especially when I have nothing to fall back on. I don't have much confidence in my skill as a musician, but it's actually the only thing I'm any good at. It's kind of scary when I think about it...

Edit: Dirgesinger! Of course. That song is also about the death of music. I'm a very redundant artist. Although it was more about emo and goth cliques and music...

re-edit

I didn't know that MTV had anything to do with music.

That's what I get from it. The problem is if you are a musician and you want to make survive and dedicate as much energy and effort as you can into your art... you're nearly forced to play by there rules, or even worse become entirely integrated into their corporate world.

The artist who stays outside of the industry can still create great music... they just will find it much more difficult to make a living off of it.

I think there are some good bands who manage to get away with creating the music they want to while still getting it sold. You wont see them on MTV or hear them on the radio or at the clubs. But there are underground labels, they can sell there music... it's like they're semi-soldout. They managed to sell only a part of their soul.

I would if that were possible. It's not lkike anyone uses there soul, it's like your appendix, what the crap does it do? nothing...

But I don't have a soul so I can't sell it.

I know. pfft, I'm a shaman. We don't have souls.

I suspected it all along.

WTF!!! I don't understand. I never really listened to Blondie, I don't understand... though I wish I did.

Aw... oh well. Next time it will be better. I promise.

I shall accept your challange. And I will raise you on Norwegian Swiss Roll... is it Norwegian or is it Swiss... perhaps it has a heritage along both lines. Who's to say...

I have actually been on and off reading through that story. It's good and all but I always find myself getting pulled away from the computer after about 3.32 minutes.

That is what happens when you use a word too often, it loses meaning. And that is why we have synonyms.

That's like a band my mom used to like. Along with The Cars and Patty Smith... back when female vocalists were actually taken serious when it came to rock music. You had the female song writer movement in the nineties which was good, but I don't feel as if those musicians were taken as seriously as they should have been, outside of a few smaller groups of people who liked them. Also they weren't exactly rock...
