I think everyone should start sending stool samples to Redmond... unlabeled with no return address of course, and they don't have to be yours... could be from your dog or pet llama.
Good observation. Let me clarify: Free Jazz is not a label... I linked to AUM as an example of who I am talking about as far as artists are concerned in the genre (I could have said Modern Creative). I was half jokingly making a statement about the E6 bands. They are 'indie' for the most part and with the steaming pile of crap that I usually hear on the radio, it pisses me off even more that great artists go unnoticed.
Let me know about the all-Elephant6-all-the-time college radio station when you find it.
The local WAMH of Amherst College has more than one E6 show... My guess would be 2-6 hours a week?
When you want to hear something specific, you listen to recorded music. When you want to hear a variety of the kind of music you like, you listen to the radio.
You obviously have not seen my record collection.
However, if you're the kind of person who avoids well-known things just to be mysterious and esoteric, you better stick to your CDs.
Not me. I have every album-single-EP from Beck, Radiohead, Butthole Surfers, Elliot Smith, Talking Heads to name a few (all attaining pop status as far as I am concerned), and a good amount of 'classic rock', classical and Jazz standards. I just feel that art moves in one direction ---> new while not being derivative. I seem to only find that rarely, and mostly in improvised music.
I really don't see it happening. If they are out to make money, they are only going to program music that has an audience of a certain size. They will probably get their playlist from ASCAP or BMI or some charts.
You are supposed to spam the religion and astrology newsgroups with that link. I don't think that there is a moron who reads Slashdot that will give you a click-thru.
...I have a real fondness in my heart for the Emo bands, and the indie rock. Some of my current listens are Radiohead, The Pixies, Tool, The Ataris, Coldplay, They Might Be Giants, Portishead, *Nsync, (just seeing if you're skimming or really listening. har.), Pink Floyd, The Rushmore soundtrack, fairview, Alkaline Trio, Hot Water Music, and The Get Up Kids.
I was actually interested in what emo and indie bands you were listening to. You list does not indicate any from either genre. Well, maybe the Pixies.
Hopefully we will be able to eradicate many diseases with the understanding of the human genome and stem cell research. That would be a good start. Fossil fuels should not be a dependency in a technology based society. If we could liberate ourselves in this sense, then maybe we would be more willing to practice less aggressive foreign policy in the Mid East. Perhaps develop better ways to provide potable water to areas in drought and disaster relief?
I could think of many that would help 'us' without focusing on weapons of mass destruction.
If this would be true, then the use of steganography would be easy to detect. I mean, by the rules of the Taliban, showing you ankle or lifting the veil could be considered risqué.
You can still go out and buy the CD or request it played via a non-Clear Channel station. Clear Channel has the right to choose what does and does not get played on their stations... I mean look at the list! I don't see Nihilist Spasm Band or Throbbing Gristle on their list; so while we are on this topic why not just blast for not playing all the other stuff that they refuse to play? Do they play songs with swears in it? Do they play sexually explicit Rap? Most of the list looks like it hits one demographic, so why split hairs? CLASSIC ROCK! Clear Channel thinks it will alienate listeners if they play songs with lyrics that are provocative or morose. If people are changing the dial, then they will not be selling advertising. It business, plain and simple.
The only choice for music is college radio, NPR and live performance... Commercial radio sucks and that list is 85% bunk, but that is besides the point.
If you want some uplifting music during these times, try some John Zorn, Peter Brotzmann, William Parker or some Matthew Shipp. Do yourself the favor.
It is easy to do. Tim McVeigh was not a suicide bomber. Curiously, as we compare this to Pearl Harbor as many seem to be doing, we must remember the Kamakazi (sp?).
Just as you claim that we should not jump to conclusions, I would ask that you don't jump down the throats of those that do. There was a cellphone call from one of the planes, and there will be recovery of at least one of the black-boxes... we will have the details soon.
What I fear is some bigoted backlash from hicks and KKK card-carrying freaks. Moments after the OK City bombing a Palestinian woman was murdered in the streets by a mob... and again, during WWII we had violence against Asians in the US.

Could this be used as a weapon?

Commercial radio sucks big time.
Did you get yours yet?

Great experience, it was like watching a Monet.

True, they are fast... but I was speaking of Rodney Brooks' solution.
