For anyone who likes Mark Knopfler, there was a great programme about him on BBC2 last night on Artworks Scotland Great casual chat and get together with Phil Cunningham.
Haha these eighties things are so cool, i was in the first row at the last dire straits concert in basle and i really enjoyed it i've also seen Pink Floyd, the Kinks are so fantastic! BTW "the Can" is also a great band from the seventies, but not very well known anymore, it's a pity.
You're lucky Deniz....you can avoid this, but my daughter has this sort of stuff on all the time on her laptop or phone or on the bloody TV. I can't get away from it!
I wish i could avoid it. Its everywhere, TV, in peoples cars. Not to speak of radio. I havent listen actively to radio since age 18 or so, when i started with guitar. The song above is my no.1 hate song atm. Call me paranoid but everytime i listen to really bad music, i feel my brain cells dying or something. I fear of getting dumb(er), because as soon as i hear it, i automatically start wasting time by thinking about WHO could have made this song and WHY. What was his aim, if not making music? In this song specifically, they changed the voice to give it this "metallic", "edited" effect. In previous times they tried to edit it without the listeners attention. Now they do it just openly. Thats a new dimension.
LOOL Deniz. You are not paranoid. I am sure, it makes people dumber.
I am sure some secret power (haha, conspiracy theory) intentionally supports this "music" (or better to say undefinable noises) to make people dumber and dumber till everyone's intelligence is reduced to the level of an Amoeba (not to speak of those who already were dumb as a piece of dry bread).
Same with Germany's next Topmodel or RTL's superstar (ok, this time, and only this time,, it was exceptionally ok, because an Iranian Guy won in Germany! lol )
Same with all the talkshows: they feed you this sh!t non stop on TV. I mean, if you were an Alien and would visit earth and watch TV a whole day, you would surely decide to nuke this planet.
I remember watching Adam and the Ants on Top of the pops as a child and my Dad moaning about what utter rubbish it was, and of course I thought he didnt know what he was talking about. I gotta agree though with the general consensus that pop music now doesnt even seem to have a melody. I mean at least we liked bands that wrote hit after hit melody. That video didnt have a single redeeming feature......OH NOOOO.....I'm turning into my Dad.
always the same with BBC: "not available in your area"
there are so many things i would like to watch, like all the HORIZON videos.
then i have to find them somewhere else for download.
Try MVGroup.org it's dedicated to stuff like BBC documentaries.
Thanks for the link, but i just received an error message. Anyway, i searched alot and found this link with more than 200 BBC Horizon videos including some new ones from 2010, all in very good quality.
