...largely due to internet hyping, the gig we did last night was heaving, so you have to look at the positives, and you can`t please everyone with all types of music. There is a genuine knock off from cyberspace to the whole live scene and not just record companies. And to bring the subject neatly back round to Orson, I can honestly say that three years ago, people of teenage years and in their early twenties were not coming to gigs from bands of my age group.
Hype is a good thing, but the act still has to deliver. |

thanks to the internet there are lot of rubbish acts 'getting through'/being hyped, whose 'people' seem to think myspace plays and internet free/legal/giving it away downloads actually equals popularity rather than curiosity... |

i think you have a good point there the Artic monkeys got populaity via the internet so where only seeing the begining and there a few labels that are purely internet based now. I just hope your right and that a few decent bands can shine though on the net and get the attenion they deserve. |

Re: Paul Simon
I did find it a bit meandering upon the first few listens - a bit amelodic (is that a word?).
But I dug it eventually and liked how it created a mood instead of two and a half minute catchy pop gems. Don't get me wrong: I prefer that, but I still like the Simon album for what it is.
Kinda like "Chaos and Creation" by McCartney. Took a few spins but then I LOVED it. Don't know if it was popular on this board, but "Friends to Go" is an AMAZING little pop song by Paul. Wow. And the album is quite lovely - still listen to it.
But I forgot to mention this album:
Ray Davies' "Other People's Lives" - LOVE it!
It really gets going after track 4, but it's a wonderful album - "Over My Head" is such a great song.

whereas the millions of deaf Hollywood A&R people had ignored them for 8 years though they had a No1 smash hit, No Tomorrow, in every set.
If there's a talented star in Anchorage I can hear them, spot them, discover them, sign them and break them without ever leaving my Bayswater mansion! |
