Re: "Close the internet" to save music
 
many of those examples are bad in my opinion. the internet has given us a wider scope on news and information, and alternate sites for news as well. al-quaeda in many peoples opinion doens't even exist (in it's reported state) and is more of a unorganized group than you'd imagine....

anyways, this is diverting from the main point...

I am very suprised that you think things are worse on the internet. I would know about 1/10 of the music that i do know about today, not be able to obtain rare uw bootlegs, unable to order special edition albumns from japan or uk, be reliant on local radio, magazines, friends and movies to introduce me to new music, ...

the list goes on too. do you think that music out there right now is worse than 20 years ago before the internet? i could probably name more albumns that i love from this year (which has been a strikingly good year for music for me) than from the 80's in total... (obviously possibly because some would be fresh in my head vs the others which i have forgotten about temporarily) but i think there is still a point to be made there.

It's probably about the same, with more access now to obscure stuff. But the internet does just have to be about the now, I've discovered great stuff from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s that I would have never even heard of (or have been able to buy) without the internet.

next thing you know Elton will say we need to start handwriting everything and using telegrams instead of relying on cellphones/email/texting :p

hahahah. you are right kagenaki koe, that is the most rediculous statement by elton john there, it almost seems to be a joke, as the internet did change the world for communication and HAS changed the way we listen to music...

he's just totally cooky

For one, I wouldn't be having this discussion if it wasn't for the internet. ;)

Maybe he was just talking about his own music? Or does he think that his transition from the "Tiny Dancer" days to the "Circle of Life" Disney days was a seamless one?

He can criticize when he comes up with even one new track that rivals what he was releasing back in the 70's.

OT : where are the days of discussion lists now?

it hasn't been too long that hi speed is ubiquitous where modems once were.
hence an mp3 rather than a WAV file.

the only good thing i like in the internet is the ability to communicate so quickly, first through usenet in the 70s/80s, message boards in the mid 90s, IM in the early 2000s and now we've got myspace and things like that. but that has serious downsides to it- have you noticed how al qaeda has increased in size so much since around 1999 when the internet started getting really popular? regular people are able to communicate through the internet en masse mostly undetected; but so are terrorists, paedophiles, pornographers, serial killers, and certain species of apes.

that being said, it would be impossible to close the internet, just as it's impossible to prevent all those people from communicating with it to do awful things.
What the fuck.

Dude.

seriously, pretty much every unprecedented bad thing that's happened over the last 10 years i could link to leprechauns.
