Wow. Sort your shit out kiddo!
I recognise some Kink songs though.
Then son I'm jealous you have so much good music to educate yourself with.
Kinks
Ocean colour scene
The Verve
Stone Roses
ELO
Seashorses
Shed 7
Pulp
The list is endless, welcome to real music.
I actually listen mostly to movie scores and classical, but I can appreciate music from any kind of era. Except the Beatles, I admit I don't like them.
I tend to listen to film scores more frequently than anything else, so I can appreciate that.
Haha! You're an "as bad as listening to The Beatles without earmuffs" kind of person.
Exactly. ;)
Gilmour has no interest in modern films and has cited in interviews so, he doesn't like the violence in contemporary cinema.
Look he's probably my favourite musician from my all time favourite band but I just don't see the fit at all. I can't see Rattle The Lock having anything that would be suitable for Bond.
Some things just don't fit and I've been a PF and DG fan long enough to know that Bond and fender bender Gilmour just sounds odd.
You were born in 1996, you mostly listen to movie scores and classical music and dislike Beatles? Are you my clone or my separated-at-birth twin, perhaps?
There is no Blur, Radiohead, Massive Attack, Portishead, Nirvana or Pearl Jam to shake up the music scene now, The Arctic Monkeys ( look I've mentioned them) are about the last truly great band this country has produced.
To think people think Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran & Ellie Goulding is the cream of the crop around now. Peoples tastes have really got worse but listening to music on little buds or horrendous quality lap top speakers doesn't help, plus people rarely listen to music and just that, they are either running, doing the housework or whatever distracts them.
How can you appreciate music that way? No wonder people having fallen for all this bland crap around now. I have an MP3 but if I want to listen to music properly I fire up the turntable pull out some choice slices of vinyl kick back and immerse myself in it.
I completely understand why there has been a revival in turntables and vinyl, yes there is the nostalgia factor but it's not just that, the quality for instance. People are realising that there is more to music than a digits and bytes and shuffling or whatever it is those plastic bit of crap do.
Personally I'm 20 years or more going strong buying vinyl, there is no better way to enjoy music out there if you truly are a fan of the medium.
You should exchange pictures and see :P
Oh boy, here we go. Music is subjective and most opinions on music are dictated facist-like by people born 1985+ because they simple are nostalgic towards their own music and therefore anything after "sucks". I'm sure your parents don't like your music, nor do your grandparents like your parents music. Electric guitars used to be shameful to music as well. Hell, even simply recording music used to be shameful too. I can see the appeal in vinyl, as I can appreciate it's limitations but vast quality (just like film is to digital). However you can't deny that a lossless mp3 is truly the way to experience it as closely to live as possible.
Modern days have simply lead on a dis-importance to lyrics, that's really what most people are complaining about. I don't see anything wrong with colourful but lyrics that aren't "important". Many generations have grown up with an importance on lyrics. TBH I find older music a little bit blander, and I don't really care much for lyrics in the first place (as a fan of soundtracks and classical). New music isn't so much about lyrics but rather the actual sound of music, and it sounds great and fresh to me. I don't see why classical music over a party is so proper, but club music is a sin compared to music pre 2000. If you really want an emphasis on lyrics, there is an abundance of it, just not most of it mainstream.
Here's a comparison:
Call me crazy, but I prefer the second.
LOL. Thank you for the laugh, DominicGreene. I needed that. :))
Okay, now I officially feel old. 8-X
These are all just pidgeon holes record companies and media use to sell it. There are really only two types of music, good music and bad music and it is an individual choice on what they consider to be good music or bad music.
Subjective of course. I am fan of The Rolling Stones, never get tired of their rich and full sound and musical genres. But I still discover new music every now and then that I love. I like electro swing (Parov Stelar, Caro Emerald), some dance, classical, soundtracks, disco, blues, world, Dutch music (De Dijk), rock, rock & roll, reggae, jazz, pop...
What is different in the digital era we now live in is I listen a lot to self made playlists, based on genres or my own judgement (giving stars), rather than an complete album (sometimes I do though, listening a complete album). It's just the phase I live in now. Maybe later on in my life I will play my vinyl records again, but just not now. I can truly appreciate great music, grooves, sounds, rhythms, etc. And I listen to them digitally. Of course it's not the all best way listening to music (I have decent Hifi components by Sony and JVC and Sony three way speakers), but it does the job for me and it is very acceptable in my life right now.
Muse would be an incredible coup and incredible sound for Bond as it has been discussed many times there labels lack of tie in with Sony probably rules them right out. As I have said before and as for all films made under MGM/Sony tie in to the franchise it has been a Sony / Sony sub label artist who has been given the job.
Thanks for the info. Well let's hope Sony loses the gig and WB gets it as Muse are under WB :)
How long has it been like this for? And was it like this before Sony?
Only Since since 2004 when Sony bought out MGM's studio business for $3 Billion. The first film which it had a bearing on was Casino Royale 2006 that was the first Bond in which Sony had their say, hence M's laptop Bond looks at in her apartment is Vaio and the official phone of the film is a Sony, and from the leaked emails it seems Sony really love to push their own brands through the movies.
Chris Cornell - YKNMN - A&M universal Records (Owned by the Sony Corp after the bought out BMG.)
Jack White - Columbia/ XL both Sony Subs /Alisha Keyes - Sony/Columbia

Xl recordings CEO is Richard Russell in 2013 he worked iwth Damon Albarn from Blur on a project resulting in the Album Everyday Robots, which gives more credibility to the Blur rumours with Albarn being Blur's front man.
Thanks for that!
The sony products in the films makes sense but I have to add that their association goes back as far as OP when they are viewing footage of OP's circus from the hot air balloon on Sony monitors. I wonder if it stretches further back
Sony has always been big on product placement, but what a fun game. Go out and find the first Bond film where something with the SONY appears. ;0)
"after United Artists was retired as a mainstream studio. From 2006 to present MGM and Columbia Pictures have co-distributed the film series, following the 2005 acquisition of MGM by a consortium led by Columbia's parent company, Sony Pictures Entertainment. In November 2010 MGM filed for bankruptcy; following its emergence from insolvency, Columbia has been co-production partner of the series with Danjaq"
Would further explain the continual Columbia realted artists who have sang on Themes in the Craig Era.
There's a Sony TV monitor in the Toyota in YOLT. They've had a reasonably longstanding product placement relationship with Sony.
