02:14 <****> nabcore rofl
02:14 <****> How about they lower the price of the CDs and le tthe artists make the money wehre its really at, concerts
02:14 <****> gufymike: good idea, except most artists today have no talent and cant make good concerts.
02:15 <****> Then thats there fault
02:15 <****> And then we would also actually get decent music
02:15 <****> gufymike: that's my whole point.
02:15 <****> ASCAP and BMI in an unprecedented mafia style move several years back decided that clubs cannot have live music or play on air media without paying royalties ( err extortion money) Of course they have no accounting process so the money gets to the artist.
02:15 <****> gufymike: they are just money hungry, dragging in people off the street.
02:15 <****> pseudojw, actually I'm on your side
02:16 <****> =-)
02:16 <****> I'm aware of how much it costs, but...they can charge as much as they want because theres only ONE RIAA. :-P
02:16 <****> That comment was towards pfred1, I realy don't like 99% of whats on the radio today, I listen to the oldies staiton
02:16 <****> but there's only one FCC and one DCFS. wtf we have manopolies everywhere.
02:17 <****> gufymike back when the music industry had a lock on the business!
02:17 <****> But they had talent then
02:17 <****> they had funding too
02:17 <****> gufymike: yeah, and back then. if they DID share music, no one would care, because everyone would go to concerts.
02:17 <****> Now-a-days, all we have are any one who picks up a microphone and thinks they can sing
02:17 <****> let me tell yo uwhat talent is worth without proper funding
02:17 <****> squat!
02:17 <****> Will iam Hung, Cla Atkins are proof of this, * IDol
02:17 <****> pfred1: but they dont have the talent.
02:18 <****> pseudojw how do you know?
02:18 <****> pfred1: ive heard concerts of some of these supposed 'new age' singers. they suck. they dont have telnet.
02:18 <****> s/telnet/talent/
02:18 <****> LOL!
02:18 <****> the real question though, do they have ssh?
02:18 <****> pseudojw maybe you simply do not care for the genre?
02:18 <****> in the 2.6 kernel /proc/acpi/sleep is depreciated.. what are we supposed to use in its place?
02:19 <****> Until the Music industry stops putting out shit that is worthless in the first place there is no point in supporting them
02:19 <****> ilpavox try kernel 2.4
02:19 <****> in any way shape or fashion
02:19 <****> pfred1: no, ive heard the CDs and the concerts. concerts suck but CDs are good, so that means that they have no talent, because their voices are falsified
02:19 <****> Including "illegaling" downloading songs
02:19 <****> pfred1: no
02:19 <****> gufymike ah you want eggs with no chicken to lay them?
02:20 <****> I want real talent sold to me
02:20 <****> don't worry man, the good bands are still around...some of them. ive heard some bands that seem to still have some talent somewhere.
02:20 <****> but the taleneted to untalented ratio is severely skewed.
02:20 <****> pseudojw but as cash dries up you'll hear less and less of them
02:21 <****> pfred1: cash wont dry up if they have talent. what dont you get from that?
02:21 <****> because it really takes money to promote!
02:21 <****> I don't 1000 shitty Hits I would be happy 10 Really Awesome Hits from singers who "it" not just looks and a synthesier
02:21 <****> pfred1: if the bands didnt last more than a week then theyd make some dough
02:21 <****> pfred1: and I mean, songs that get old really fast. there's too much of that
02:22 <****> Nobody wants to buy the expensive CDs because there is only like...one good song on them, and that's all we want. so why not share music instead? I'm just sayin'
02:22 <****> professional entertainers shouldn't be mediocre or if they are they should be paid mediocrely
02:22 <****> well the downloaders reap what they have sown I predict that things will just continue going downhill
02:22 <****> gufymike: exactly! It's too easy for a mediocre artist to get a record deal because the record companies have enough to buy your soul
02:23 <****> What was it 10 years ago? NEW artists, just signed made 75.000 a year
02:23 <****> Is that right?
02:23 <****> let's face it, studio equipment wouldnt cost so much if the voices didnt have to be modified to sound good
02:24 <****> hello
02:24 <****> if we could jsut do raw recordings, the equipment would be much cheaper, right?
02:24 <****> Actually not as much would be needed
02:24 <****> pseudojw yeah they could use an Edison wax cylinder machine dammit!
02:24 <****> it'd sound great on my CD player i just know it would!
02:24 <****> pfred1: hell yeah dude! Edison kicked some major ass in his day.
02:24 <****> FLAC ftw!
02:24 <****> pseudojw one frigging pot on the mixing board costs like $30 and there's thousands of pots!
02:24 <****> I have a file on one host and I want to burn it on a cd with the cdrecorder located on another host. how would you do?
02:25 <****> You know that illegal trading of music has been going on for atleas 25 years
02:25 <****> pseudojw actually Edison made billy G seem like an honest businessman
02:25 <****> I had Motley crue's live wire album on blank tape
02:25 <****> gufymike: yeah, and remember how metallica got started? "Trade our music and promote it" then they turn around and screw over Napster. evil bastards.
02:25 <****> Who provided that tape in the first place?
02:25 <****> Sony
02:26 <****> Sony and on=ther companies produce the blank media to be able to do this in the first place and allow for many bootleg copies to be made
02:26 <****> And yep yeo I know pseudojw
02:26 <****> pseudojw you should ocnsider yourself lucky that Edison didn't win out in the end or you'd be running downstairs to feed your generator in the basement
02:27 <****> Then the mp3 formats and so on well it was inevitable.
02:27 <****> Reminds me of that old episode of southpark where stan kyle and kenny download music. great episode
02:27 <****> pfred1: yeah probably...but edison didnt last forever. lol. time moved on without him =)
02:27 <****> glxgears is working....but ZSNES doesnt
02:27 <****> Seriously 20 dollars for a CD is over priced
02:27 <****> 10 dollars and moe people would actually pay for it
02:27 <****> it goes into full screen...but it doesnt load completely
02:28 <****> gufymike: haha look on amazon at some of their CDs, like nine inch nales, roughly $28!
02:28 * gufymike shakes his head
02:28 -!- linux-only is now known as azathot1
02:28 <****> I just heard NIN covering a Joy Division song on the radio they did a pretty good job of it
02:28 <****> gufymike: but since Chevelle is cool, I got my Chevelle cd theres for about $8 :-P
02:28 <****> They could afford the 10 dollar cd if artists put more concerts in
02:28 <****> :)
02:28 <****> iTunes!
02:29 <****> except not linux
02:29 <****> gufymike or if every artist was good
02:29 <****> bleah
02:29 <****> yeah
02:29 <****> gufymike or if every artist could find their market
02:29 <****> iTunes sucks because they only give you apple formats
02:29 <****> but unfotunately the way the industry is made up thats not going to happen
02:29 <****> gufymike or if you could find every artist you liked!
02:29 <****> and neither is lowering ther price of it
02:29 <****> Why cause Greed rules all
02:29 <****> hello
02:29 <****> It comes down to that
02:30 <****> someone could suggest me a good psx emulator for linux?
02:30 <****> Music lovers are greedy, we want better music and lower prioces
02:30 <****> i agree
