ok, some of you actually make music, have chops, whatever. for the talkers/writers/collectors out there:

describe what the music you'd make would be like. who you'd get to help.

what the reviews would be like...

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 9 May 2003 11:48 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to be a Jonathan Richman for the glitch generation.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Friday, 9 May 2003 11:52 (twenty-three years ago)

The reviews would be glowing, and I would have broad appeal. I'd be a "category-killer".

"Is this a joke?"

nordicskillz (you still calling yerself that?)
ha! just listened to the new snog single...lee hazlewood for the glitch generation.
i think you could be hitting the zeitgeist.

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 9 May 2003 11:57 (twenty-three years ago)

I am the zeitgeist, gaz!

Yours (always),
Nordicskillz

The zeitgeist feels like a glass of orange juice...

i'm-a have another beer...

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 9 May 2003 12:04 (twenty-three years ago)

this thread was inspired by the fact that earlier, in the dunny, i imagined myself playing a nile rogers-like guitar lick.

as i said, another beer...

Hang on a minute. I'm a frustrated critic *and* a crap artist. Do I get to contribute?

We all know what kind of music *I'd* make. Electronic bubblegum with freedrone bits. I'd get Jason Pierce, Bernard Sumner (or whoever *actually* does all the programming in New Order) and, erm, Ronnie Spector in to do it for me. Yeah.

do the lollies sound like this kate? i want to hear them!

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 9 May 2003 12:17 (twenty-three years ago)

unfortunately my so called "band" sounds like Kings of Convenience/Nick Drake.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 9 May 2003 12:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Actually, I'd be like Ludacris. But for kids.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Friday, 9 May 2003 12:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Ludacris is for kids (*groan of crowd* *scattered boos*)

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 9 May 2003 12:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, I'd be like Good Charlotte. For grown-ups.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Friday, 9 May 2003 12:29 (twenty-three years ago)

If the Lollies sounded like this, there would still be a Lollies. Sigh. Actually, no, one song on the album sounds like this - _Happy_ - which is the secret track that no one bothered listening to.

The Electric Bubblegum Arkestra will sound like this. I promise it.

― kate, Friday, 9 May 2003 12:30 (twenty-three years ago)

i will keep you to the promise (fingers barely typing proper, time out to refocus, beer can to open)

i wondered how many non-musician music fans would have fantasies of making music. i wondered. i stopped at 19. but then, Nile Rogers, in the toilet, hic...

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 9 May 2003 12:53 (twenty-three years ago)

current band has too much drama to be justified by its existence in its current form. eep. o.o;;

dream band? not quite sure what it would sound like. if we were one tenth as brilliant as Laika at whatever we did, i'd be happy though. :)

― janni (janni), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Every song would sound like the theme to The Kids in the Hall. People would start dressing in paisley and wearing Doc Martens again (except for me.)

I can smell the clove cigarettes now...

Eli and the Thirteenth Confession meets Close to the Edge meets Shakedown's "At Night"

From the review of Horace Mann & the Holy Ghost's debut EP, We're Entertainment Musicians, Not REAL Musicians:

Just when you though music couldn't be any more purposefully stupid, along comes H.Mann & co. to put the AWK back in rawk. Never did a nerd howl so shittily over the most ridiculously rudimentary chords. This is blues for imbeciles. If you paid cash money for this magazine, you'll love it.
