What is it with me and retro stuff? Tuesday i went and bought the beastie boys anthology, i could have bought anything new but i instead went for an old album released 3 years ago.


Which brings me to my question. Whats the most retro thing you've bought recently and why did you choose it?

I thought retro stuff was from the seventies, hence flares come back.

It's because there's fuck all good music out at the moment.

I bought Nirvana: In Utero recently, simply because I only had it on tape.. which is lame.

The most retro thing I've bought is The Rolling Stones: Hot Rocks.

It aer teh rokin!

A redone Jazz album from 1918, I guess that's pretty retro music wise

FFS TDC you always have to bring your sex life into stuff

 

[Testin da Cable]

Sex is over rated if you can get it.

You need it more than air if you can't though

 

[wolfeeh]

radio friendly unit shifter is on in utero is it not?

tops.

unfortunately trem is right about the sex comment :| or there's the other problem... you're inundated with offers... from people you wouldn't touch with your dick even if you were wearing a welly thickness condom...

 

[Summo]

If anyone's interested I'm getting more sex than I really want at the moment.

I'll trade some for a 50g pack of Golden Virginia.

On a related musical note, did anyone see that "Ultimate Chart" on C4 featuring all the 100 best selling UK singles ever ?

Full of interesting factoids, I didn't know Mike Batt (Wombles) wrote "Bright Eyes" (Watership Down bunny film). Also worthy of note was how many "successful" artists never made it into the top 100; Abba, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, David Bowie, and Elton John was only there by virtue of that awful Diana song.

The number of early Beatles dominating the charts surprised me, very few modern songs apart from the overhyped and Xmas crap (Celine Dion,Garath Gates and Bob the Builder) crack the 1 million sales mark, it just goes to show that the industry has been in decline for ages, not a recent phenomena caused by file swapping.

And the amount of "covers" making the sales, a massive portion were songs ripped off from elsewhere, either direct covers (Unchained Melody), rewites (Gangsta Paradise) or sampled stuff.

It has always been said the record companies would strike gold by putting their deleted songs online and charging a silly low fee (like 5p per download or 50p per album).

Singles chart is just dominated by 11 year old girls' latest fads. Which is in turn dominated by what the record companies are pushing this week.

Singles == teh sux.
