As much as I secretly (not so secretly any more) love Led Zep, I'd have to
concur... everything changes (forms at least)...
speaking of which, I saw stephen malkmus last night and even though i've
never been a big fan of pavement, i just wanted some rock 'n roll to shake
my body to. the suprising thing is that he's moved extremely towards the
60's pop thing, not that it wan't there in the music before, but he's
brought to the foreground. now i'm not bringing this up to discuss the
relative merits of crappy alterna-bands in the 90's but rather as the
question, with the advent of "brit-pop" (which i'm personally not into) and
it's relative waning and the move by individual artists whose catalogue
could be called anything but retor-minded but yet as they progress, they
seem to take up the past forms (of r&b and pop), are we seeing the
institutionalizing of the 60's sound as a cycle in music?
sorry, that's a mouthful... let me clarify a little. not that we haven't
seen revivals of 60's sound, hell... every 5 years or so they say that
somebody is bringing back the garage sound (currently the very excellent
white stripes). but i'm saying, or i think i'm saying this constant
revisiting � whether it's bastardizing the form or not � is becoming a
natural progression of song writing in anything remotely rock 'n roll, when
your ready to take on the past as a songwriter, you take it on full
force...
okay so i'm not really making any sense, could somebody virtua-slap me...

that pronounced Cee-an, with either a hard or soft C, I prefer the soft C
and won't tolerate otherwise... it's Gaelic, if you couldn't tell by me
name, laddie. my parents were hippies who wanted my name to 1) be drawn
from my ancestry and 2) mean something... since my mother is full norwegian
my fisrt and middle name is a tribute to that (in Gaelic, Cian Loughlin =
Ancient Scandanavian). So enough with the geneology of my name...
Cian Loughlin O'Day
