# aaaargh
*kills self*

I mean wtf is going on with popular culture right now? Old bands reforming at an alarming rate, every film's a remake, new singers shamelessly ripping off motown etc..

Have we all just run out of ideas?

# I don't think we've run out of ideas, per se
just that it's cheaper and easier to rehash an old idea than to dream up something original.

# Its the public's fault
The media industries give us what we (the public generally) want.

If people stopped going to see remakes...
If people stopped buying shit recods...
If people stopped buying tickets to see Take That...

# true
but the public want what the public get, by and large. Entertainment corporations could drag them off in some other direction if they so choose.

I suppose remaking is the cheaper, financially safer option.

# I'm not convinced there was a golden age of original material.
When was that?

# well everything is based on something else
which is how ideas progress, and it's always been the case. But now we seem to have switched to literally remaking bland versions of past culture rather than improving it in any way.

Meh, maybe I'm just getting old :)

# *blushelles*
you play upright or.... laying down(?) bass?
(I helped save b3ta! Tom OBedlam I have control of a tank, Mon 15 Dec 2008, 13:19, archived)
# Lying down bass.
Upright would be a bint to get to practice in a car containing:

one combo
one cab
two guitars (inc mine)
Cymbal scaffolding
snare
cymbals
sticks
bass pedal
two people...

# that would be a be tricky yup
uprights are dead cool though. the 14 year old in me loves kim nekroman's coffin bass. and the 21 in me loves his wife's. psychobilly is just dead cool
