Johnny that was the 70s, there was no cybersex in the 70s, dear. We weren't afraid of exchanging bodily fluids in those days.

[ironguts]

wasn't virtual sex wanking back then, still is the best sex now.

Just thinking,

most jazz players these days tend to play second hand music.
The tend to be caught in the Vortex that is bebop, and Trane and all that amazing music that was about a particular time in history. Civil rights etc.
YES the music was potent and vital and amazing...but the times we are living in now are also very vital..or maybe the word complex is better. There is ALOT going on, even though many people arent paying attention, (even when there are race riots in their own back yard)...now why is there so little music reflecting these times.Why do people still play with these American jazz affectations?

What music is a true reflection of our times

Kevin? Adrian?Mark? Tinky?

Certainly not alot of the so called Jazz music?
Im not saying music has to reflect our times but I am saying that alot of the music we all love so much from the 60s or whatever was about those times, it was a reaction to those times... Charlie Hadens Lib Orch...is ..OK..but not really hitting the spot not like Dylan did, and he was un unwilling messiah anyway...Coltrane Alabama,

im a big fan of second hand..
OK computer - great... Its intesting that you find it so fresh sounding SHM .. this is a great record because its dark and eclectic. The eclecticism of the music comes straight out of british prog rock from the 1960's -70's some of which was loathsome and some , terrific. Thats about as second hand as it gets. By the way ,much of that was ripping off Stravinsky and Shostakovich and what was then called "fusion"so its really third hand .........see where this is going?

It seems, as one becomes older,
That the past has another pattern,and ceases to be mere sequence--
Or even development :the latter a partial fallacy
Encouraged by superficial notions of evolution,
Which becomes in the popular mind , a means of disowning the past.

I'm sure baudrillard told his wife that, like the gulf war, your affair never happened.

meanwhile...
andy warhol wished he was a robot, but with my hangover I just wish I was dead.

Neither did the moon landing johnny.

Does anyone else hear the influence of Chopin etudes/preludes etc in OK computer?

[TM]

Hey shannon, yeah I do hear the influence of the etudes/preludes on that record, especially no 4 in think it is of the preludes, the one in e minor. They probably checked it out when they were kids.

[fact]

no 'this heat', no ok computer.

thank fuck their stuff can be downloaded illegally on the interweb.

[cheer up Johnny]

.Baudrillard might have also commented on the symbology of all things second hand in this society - whether it be an object,a concept, or information.
