Don't you all think it is time to listen to music instead of theories????
Jeeez, all this discussions have nothing to do with whatever style of music,
but probably with some kind of urge to get you're (or whoevers) personal
view about something. Every "quote" is just a quote in time and does not
reflect anyone's "bringing over" his music. If Matmos, Bjork or whoever more
"major" artist wants to use/or just love other types of music it is primarly
because they want to give some people a chance. Whatever the results are
it is a kind of statement. I have my questions myself but if you have some
kind of honesty, you really can't discuss these points of view.
You can extend these kinds of discussions to the point where artgalleries
are dictating the musicindustry. The nineties were a fucking very selfish
world to live in and now everyone is struggling to get hold of any
principals. It's time to respect more people who do something. Which is
the lack of most people. Just have a look around in whatever surroundings
you are and ask yourself if these frustrations will be worth it by the time
you/me/whoever dies and you think about what was wrong/wright with you're
life. In other words: it's all very relative. Music is a luxury thing
which develops in whatever kind of way you think it is important, but
finally it is a kind of way of life. i'm really not the wisest guy around,
but it needs to be point out that there is more to live then thsi kind of
"truth/non-ethic etc..." kind of discussions.
All the best, and hope you all have nice dreams... i will: Hoegaarden takes
care of his:)
