Napster is replacing people going out and buying CD's.


Nonsense. Napster is no more replacing people going out and buying CD's than cassette copying did in the early 80's. Ideally Napster will follow the same path as the cassette and maybe even have a more profound effect on this wonderful music industry of ours.





So what happened with cassette then?

Sedwick The Salesman website updated

Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 07:46 AM

This is just basically an advertising stint for <b>Sedwick The Salesman</b> - a Great Christian Punk band from Cape Town, South Africa. I'm not actually in the band, but I'm friends with them (I just make the website) and they are damn good and so is the site.

They are really worth looking into, so go there and see what you think.

Why popular music is *****, and why ***** music is so popular

Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 03:24 AM

(or, Advertising is the Enemy of Art)


Taken from:


http://www.thumped.com/articles/display_article.asp?article_code=29 (a most brilliant site dedicated to the Irish Scene) Music can send shivers down your spine, make your hair stand on end, break your heart or warm it, make you dance, laugh, cry. It can be wistful, scary, or fun, it can be mind-boggling, it can be transcendental. Imagine for a moment that all the emotional/intellectual/sexual/etc effects that music can have on a person are due to a special ingredient that can be found in varying concentrations in different pieces of music. The more of this ingredient there is, the more stimulation a piece of music provides. Some music catches your heart and makes your jaw drop in amazement, and therefore could be said to contain lots of the special ingredient, other music evokes very mild feelings, if any, and so could be said to contain very little. For the sake of argument, let’s call the special ingredient ‘E999’.





Now, consider the commercial music media – radio stations, music television, the music press. In the western world most people receive a very large proportion of their exposure to music through this industry, which makes money (and therefore enables itself to exist), by using music to get people to listen to ads. Where does MTV get its money? Advertising. Where does FM104 get its money? Advertising. Where does Smash Hits get (most of) its money? Advertising.

Lets make a stand on 12 December 2001

Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 08:14 AM

The date and time of the passive resistance campaign is: 13:00 to 13:15 on 12 December 2001, SOUTH AFRICAN TIME. Please diarise it.


You are requested to leave your office or your home or whatever place you happen to be at that time and go into the street and join hands with all the other citizens of this country you may find out there.


Let us raise our voices in unison to get the government to legislate more effective sentencing for the perpetrators of violent crimes.


Let us stop our cars and taxis in the streets and on the highways and blow our hooters loudly in support of our children who are being raped and murdered.


We did this for peace before the 1994 elections, we can do it now.
