the kinds of music we have are all so 20th century: what would they REALLY be playing in the bar on Tattooine?

meatl obviously - in the future the word "experimental" will be banned by the pop-police

(alternate answer - covers of bootleg remixes of cover songs)

I second the vote for covers of bootlegs--would be GREAT to hear a band tackle "The Magnificent Romeo" or "Smells Like Booty" or "Stroke of Genius." In much the same way, I'd love to hear more stuff like Juno's cover of "High Noon" by DJ Shadow--live bands adding gristle to samples, or replacing latter w/former, or something along those lines.

a cover of 'magnificent romeo' could only improve it. i was especially disappointed with the thin bridge section.

cow-hop!

Though that's simply true, not funny necessarily.

Why -wouldn't- they be playing skronky alien jazz on Tattooine? Mos Eisley was a spaceport on an outskirt planet ran by gangsters ... fashions & flavors would change quickly, and probably have more to do with which band hadn't gotten shot up in the latest laser duel. Likewise, one can imagine 'pop' music (in this case meaning a singer backed by a band) would always be prevalent, so the disco show on Jabba's barge isn't all that hard to believe.

I love this question mark. (Or perhaps: ?)

I was re-watching Star Wars the other night after seeing AOTC a few days before, and the same question was going through my mind. But I haven't any ideas. Just like Lucas seems to have no ideas what alien accents might sound like, so he has to nick real ones from around the world with hilarious consequences...

So I have no real answer I'm afraid.

Well, does anyone?

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"fashions & flavors would change quickly" = they would not be playing jazz!! (obv whatevah they play will be alien since they are aliens) (even if they were playing uk garage it wd be alien uk garage) (this is a k-rad idea btw)

― mark s, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

>>Lucas seems to have no ideas what alien accents might sound like >Well, does anyone?

No, no, that's exactly right, but I don't know quite where to take the point next! Jameson says somewhere (it's a banal point) that science fiction is obviously never really about the future, but the present. More theoretically, we might follow the distinction made in certain strands of philosophy between the future as imagined or predicted in the present (ie basically imaginary projection) and the future as being by definition the unimaginable.

― alext, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Which I guess means the question falls into two halves:

a) what wierd combo of existing musics / sounds would approximate to our collective need to imagine alien futures: ie what seems most exotic, or out there, to us

b) How far could we get if we did try to imagine the unimaginable sounds of the future.

Actually this just means that everyone else is answering question a) quite happily, while I've got hung up on question b).

("Jameson says somewhere (it's a banal point)" = what he will haf on his headstone haha geewiz i sure hate fj)

― mark s, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(shhh or Pinefox will hear us whispering bad things about FJ and keep us in after class...)

― alext, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

b) How far could we get if we did try to imagine the unimaginable sounds of the future

for awhile there my answer would be 1994. But i was so much older then; i'm younger than that nowww

UK Airtight Alien Garage -- you've coined it, mark s.

― Dare, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Isn't 'Star Wars' set in the past?? (Which is why they are still listening to jazz, haha)

― Andrew L, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh yeah i forgot it was in the past: DELETE THIS THREAD!!
