[ No specific ambient or idm content, though it may interest some. Sorry for the crosspost. ] Apologies if this has been brought up recently. I've been away for a while. From time to time on the music lists there are questions as to what song is on what commercial. Then the banter and bicker starts regarding selling out, copyright, royalties, who's no longer "cool", etc. I found this site which looks to me ( conspiracy mode on) like a pervasive attempt to blur the lines between commerce and art. It seems we're headed towards a newer more powerful marketing dynamic. Music sales driven by TV ads is certainly not a new phenomena. Its just this site seems so....deliberate? http://www.whatsthatcalled.com/ Peter np: Hakan Libdo- From Stockholm with Love --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
