Have music compact disks had there day?

The monkey house uses a lot of linux, compact disk music is an awful format to start with and the tracks being large blocks to pad out that 700mb of capacity that a cd has to read. If you have ever ogg converted a cd and those songs get very small and since my hearing is not that of a hifi loony (those people who pay $250 for gold cables and crap stuff) it does not bother me.

I have some cd’s and the playback seems to be getting worse, i hear pauses while the disk seeks so how long before the cd music dies?. Im not suggesting the linux is at fault but the games the riaa and other loons seems to have made there media not liked,

This is not too much a problem, but the guarantees that a cheap piece of plastic sold at extortionate profit will be future proof seem to be gone. So long to the cd.

That is not good for anybody, but a lesson has been learn’t, as consumer, artists both have been screwed by the copyright lobby and there greed for the next format with even more restrictions.

Symphony No. 7 “A Toltec Symphony”

Is this (wiki) and a peice of Philip Glass i had not heard (music does not go off).

Surprisingly it was a prom event that the bbc advertised just before the wire (my blog) in an attempt for the bbc to look like it trying be a ‘hip’ public service broadcaster and as usual the bbc broadcast it on the radio (it was not on tv) or i would not have known about it.

There was a screechy violin peice as well by him that i never did like too.

I suppose that is my prom event of the year quota used up (last years).

You have to feel sorry for the classical music snobs at bbc radio three having to endure Philip Glass i mean what is the world coming to. However kudos go to the proms organisers for not doing the usual awful peice of old classical music that only the snobs like and own all 70 versions of it on cd already.

Expect a rant about compact disk music soon too.

cbs and the riaa trying to kill last.fm

Last.fm is web radio, who cbs an american corp bought.  What you may or may not know is that an application on windows tracks all your media (see a problem yet?) so this means lots of data which is uploaded to last.fm [privacy?]

Last.fm is a london,england based outfit and so should really be under the control the evil ifpi, not the american bit which is the riaa and famous for suing music fans with bad data.

The story is here, the moral is don’t run microsoft windows, or trust americans (even if you are an non american citizen) for your privacy.

So Cbs the American broadcaster wishes to destroy there investment in web radio in last.fm, thats ok with me, but the shareholders of cbs might be a bit angry since thats rather a waste of money.

tame and spying on you

It is interesting to note that popular music once a benchmark for american freedom means just the opposite of it today, that goodness those commies in Russia lost the cold war, but lets not mention china.

As to the privacy abuse make up your own mind.

Plenty of issues here i think for all.

Murder most foul

A certain newspaper journalist who i read has given his blog over to the various loons that comprise the old recording industry while hes away, its a really shit state of affairs but this not the point of debating his handling of that.

Readers of mine will know i dislike drm, britney spears, and anything commercial that is riaa/sony/bpi/emi crap. When they speak of ‘innovation’ i’m reminded of this idiot (to the right) who sings out of copyright bits of popular operas and sold his soul to the those scum.

I am having a go at this talentless moron because realplayer got upgraded and then downgraded. this ‘played’ havoc with the script that needs alsa where you this piece of non ms crap to work needs

REALPLAYBIN=”/usr/bin/aoss $HELIX_LIBS/realplay.bin”

For any sound to come out, however one has to endure Mr Potts belting out the out of copyright nissan asbo before the realplay stream will start. I’m listening to German radio and the only music i’d like to buy i cannot because the record industry deems the music i listen to to be not worthy of distribution.

Its ironic as you have to be retard to buy out of copyright opera ‘hits’ on cd and the music i listen to is as far away from opera in style as you can get.

See while i want Mr Paul Potts dead ?

Nationalistic crap

In this (bbc) we discover that despite been moved from the schedules ‘Gordon Brown Britishness‘ failed once again to engage the eastern europeans (or anybody else in europe dumb enough).

At least the crap remover (this years ‘right colour’ uk’s contestant) was not a trans-gendered airline employee (from last years dr who coverage).

So what have we learned about ‘Britain’* in europe under Gordon Brown ?, well airline employees cannot sing, and garbage collectors don’t engage, but its ’socialist’ by nature.

Don’t worry for bananas in the falklands is only aware of this ‘lets makes the idiots of europe aware of europe’ event by the rescheduling of Dr Who. After all just who the fuck gives a shit what some old retired shit for brains irishman ** thinks.

Oh Never heard or saw any of it.

* as run from Scotland, ** not British either.

Rameau – an update.

I by ‘accident’ found this relating to my blog post here.

magatune.com is an interesting concept, not just for classical music.  and appears to be less ‘evil’ than your average ifpi,riaa mafia music concern of which i have spent a little time writing here.

I hope this gives you an insight into my blog post.  Worth a visit not just for Rameau, but a lot of other newer styles of music.

What the fuck do 3000 people do in emi

I read briefly today that 3000 people in emi face the chop, i’m not surprised since if Britney which the other crap the four big big music distributions seem to prefer to music then you have to wonder what anybody emi really ‘did’.

I suggest if you cannot understand this – i suggest you search my blog on the term ‘Koopa’ or something. Even that talentless Beatles member (the one called Paul) called emi ‘retarded’ recently in an interview. I nearly blogged it but did not.

Which i assume coming from him probably means he would not have got a record deal today than when he and his more talented band members where making money several decades ago.

The answer seems to be nothing much, perhaps i should be something other than only a chicken sexer and and zoo entertainer ? since i came to that conclusion a long time ago.

Since fashion isnt a strong point, or style (see the image) what do they do ?

The good news is that you don’t need the aid of a record company to release a record these days, the sooner that emi, and other big three die then perhaps music will retain a little more dignity than it does these days with Britney* being a top seller.

* crap.

Philip Glass

Not a favorite piece of his music [imho], but versatile.

Daft Punk – human after all*

According to the Wiki are apparently french and i have heard most of there stuff.

In a cd it also sounds good to – not just a barrage of songs that you might think that did not work but that one song did.

I will have to see if i can get a transfer to a French zoo.
