Music

I was talking to a musician friend the other day. I said I preferred the sound of a VHS tape over a DVD or CD. He agreed completely. Then we talked about records vs. CDs. He made a point that with ipods, mp3s, DVDs, etc., kids today do not know what high quality music sounds like. Hopefully either mp3s will have a higher quality sound in the future, or a new way of listening will be invented.

One step forward and two steps back, in a way.

And don't even get me started on album cover art becoming CD cover art to, now, thumbnails.

The other thing he was talking about is how many bands now, will either hire or work with member of the band to record music without being in the same room. They play their instrument, record it and send it off to be compiled and incorporated into the song. Sounds like a lot of musicians are doing this, but don't want people to know they do it. So I'm not revealing my source, but would mention that if little Timmy's garage band needs a drummer, they may be able to hire Neil Peart ; )
