It really boils my shit when people say that 'there is no good music nowadays, it's all Justin Bieber and One Direction'. First of all that is complete bullshit, there will always be great music no matter what year it is. Second of all, look for music go to websites like last.fm or Pitchfork.com to find new bands instead of whinging about it.

Everybody remembers the good and not the bad. The 90s had Nirvana, Pavement, Nas and Blur to name a few. But the 90s also had Spin Doctors, Backstreet Boys, Right Said Fred, Vanilla Ice and Aqua.

The 80s had The Smiths, R.E.M, The Cure, Pixies, Stone Roses but the 80s also had Flock of Seagulls, Rick Astley, Toni Basil, Europe and Starship.

Well, Starship needs a footnote since it was originally Jefferson Airplane but as the original members left it devolved into Jefferson Starship and finally in a bid to keep up with the current style of music made the move to Starship. It was an example of a band that could not evolve with the changing times and finally ended up devolving into a parody of its original greatness.

I was thinking about starting some movie making myself, I was wondering how I ought to start. What should I download, where can I learn and where can I get the recordings?

Thanks a lot.

While I agree that there is always good music around, it doesn't mean that the amount of good music around is always the same. Of course there were flops in the 80s and 90s, but can you name 5 world-famous bands that make good music now?

Good music doesn't come from just a bunch of people picking up guitars and playing some notes, it comes from certain states of society as whole. Every major musical revolution was the birth product of an intellectual and cultural revolution in a society: Rock, Punk, even pop and rap.

I kinda agree, but I also think that's the point Spike is trying to make. It's not because some bands/artists are not world-famous that the good music isn't there. You just have to look for it. IMO there's just as much good music nowadays as in the past. The problem is that there are much more people in the business than there used to be, so naturally you'll have to filter through more 'shit'.

Where's Stingray? Haven't seen him around here in a couple of days. Feels so weird!

He's up to something. It can't be good...

I'll fucking neck myself if that ignorant twat Tony Abott is elected Prime Minister of Australia. Backward as fuck sexist pig that is living in a Thatcher-esque delusion of the world. Not even joking this arsehole would be Australia's Thatcher. I hate this man and his policies.
