A ramble about how the music business is dying

Music: Coldplay - Fix You

15 second comment to the world...

"What no one seemed to notice was the ever-widening gap between the government and the people.

"And it became always wider...the whole process of its coming into being, was above all diverting,   more...it provided an excuse not to think...for people who did not want to think anyway gave us some dreadful, fundamental things to think about... and kept us so busy with continuous changes and 'crises' and so fascinated... by the machinations of the 'national enemies,' without and within, that we had no time to think about these dreadful things that were growing, little by little, all around us....

"Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, 'regretted,' that unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these 'little measures'...must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing...Each act is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next.

"You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join you in resisting somehow. You don't want to act, or even talk, alone...you don't want to 'go out of your way to make trouble.' But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes.

"That's the difficulty. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves, when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed.

"You have accepted things you would not have accepted five years ago, a year ago, things your father...could never have imagined."

Milton Mayer, They Thought They Were Free, The Germans, 1938-45 (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1955)

This is some footage from May 08 that I held back for winter. I thought I'd upload it while it's quiet on LV. I talk (probably a lot of crap :p) about UK digital radio and commercial radio in the US.   more...I'm a big fan of radio, especially current affairs and talk radio style shows. The PlanetRock radio station I talked about I believe was bought out by Brian May from Queen. After making this video I have since come across one UK radio station (LBC) where adverts have been spoken 'off the cuff' by the presenter.

If the video cuts off, refresh the page and play again, then you should be able to continue from where it bombed out.  less

I'm trying to start a new video tag game here, based on a radio show that I heard on my way to work.

This is a really cool video pertaining to Radio waves heating salt water, of all things, to make it burn!
