Hello, Celeste Buckingham!

[Slave]

Hah Stormlord, ever heard of Occam's Razor?

I'm pretty sure that it's just that Western civilization is in the middle stages of decline, as we begin to mindlessly regurgitate safe, mediocre art ad nauseum.

Bread and circuses.

this quality will never happen again, sadly.

Oh yeah? Still say she beats the socks off most. So maybe not "airtime", gotta admit that's outdated... "coverage" is prolly more apropos..

She writes her own stuff. She wrote this song when she was 12.

We can get close...people that say there hasn't been quality in the last couple of decades haven't been listening...

Lately i been thinking about how I still like classic EQ; many things about it. It ain't perfect, but it offers things many modern mmorpg's don't. This thought made me wonder about other things out there; like music, artwork, movies, fashion, etc. If EQ can still be a good game even these days and I can prefer it over newer games like it then why can't the same hold true for other things; like music? Does this mean all old(er) things are better or does it just mean that sometimes old(er) things can be better, depending on the person?

(i'd swear that the answer is the latter)

For example, this song really got me deep into it when I was playing Entropia Universe:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST86JM1RPl0

It was kind of hte beginning of a rich philosophical journey into my soul.

Yet, that song was released in March 1985, over 27 years ago. It's old. So why would I even be remotely interested? Well, I was. The same thing can be said about p1999. It hits the spot in a special way.

My conclusion, if that's what it can be called, is that reality is so complex and diverse that even old things can offer something that new things don't. And that something might be just what you need.

It's possible to live in a world of the present and past, not just the present. And some might argue that even the future can be spied on if you're clever enough to see it. 4th-dimensional living, anyone?

are u seriously so autistic that the thought that ppl might have different taste in music video games and other media is revolutionary to u?

Holiday > Stone. And, yes, I've known about her, but Joss Stone isn't ever going to have the potential that Holiday had at seeing a lynched man in a tree. Sincerity of life in the time kind of thing. Lorca called it "Duende" from the Spanish Flamenco men he rolled around with. Adele has a great voice but her biggest grief in life is something most of us went through in High School and got over pretty quickly. Somewhere in the past decade bad oxymoron became acceptable and that's just not cool cause it kills metaphors if done wrong. We need local radio back. Not what Clear Channel is doing.

Agreed on all points.
