in 500 years this planet will be a desert with no life on it. OR
people will never actually SEE each other unless they have a job making stuff for your computers at hiome. i think the internet creates homebodies like all of us

i dont mind .if someone makes me mad.....i close the window........if someone makes me mad outside my home.he gets bashed and i get fined.....
back on topic tho:
small bands like mine for example without a real big cigar label NEED to produce MP3's of our music just to get any pull at all.....i had friends add my music to thier libraries in the different download programs like emule and kazaa etc and after a while....they were noticing people actually downloading them.........so its a way to spread your name as a nobody on the world music market....
frankly i quit singing for a band to try to get a contract and get on big stages because its just not possible anymore unless you , as a girl have an awesiome body to show off, or as a dude are thin like a stick with a perfect looking set of stomach muscles.....i dont know many GOOD musicians that look like that.........and when you take Nirvana for example......they cant even play thier instruments live cuz they are are too fuckin drunk/drugged to see the monitor in front of them.
but those bands sell........but then again not anymore because of techno/hip-hop/R&B who makes most of thier publicity on MTV showing off awesome looking MODELS. truthfully......i dont turn on MTV to hear the latest cool tunes.......i turn it on cuz im compiling a map and want to see some fine babes dancing around half-dressed. who doesnt want to see kylie minogue rolling around on the floor.......ummm what was the name of her songs?
music is dead. i havent bought a CD in over 3 years besides from one single band. Dream Theater.
and on top of that im starting a blues band project just because i can play on a stage with that...thats all i want to do is play live...rock died, which is my roots. cant play anywhere with that. its sad.
life sucks for us creative and song-writing musicians.......
