Does anyone care about music anymore?

It would be great if all the ex-Apostles drummers got together and formed a marching band, I think.

With Andy Martin at the back barking orders.

:cool:
 
trevhagl - just out of interest, do you listen to other kinds of music, apart from punk?

Aye, that might be a better question. Because there are dozens of people here who care deeply and passionately about music, but not necessarily or especially about 77 style punk and oi. Personally it's quite a way down my list, despite the fact that I have a fair whack of it.

Perhaps the thread would be friendlier and more accurate if it was entitled "Does anyone care about trad punk and oi! any more?"
 
I asked for Trev's lists, cos I have broad tastes and buy a lot of music. Apart from a few things I already had, the stuff Trev was selling was the ugly, dogend of punk - just drab, monotonous bollocks. Even some fucking Oi.

If my failure to buy any of Trev's shit means I don't care about music and that I'm killing the music industry, then so be it :D

I have records by a couple of those bands, I've seen more. But do I want any more in my life? Fuck, no. :D
 
actually, i'd have bought the antz demos LP and the amebix 12" if i didnt have them already. both great records of dramatically different punk sub-genres. :)
 
Well yeh, the list isn't without merit - I used to love the Amebix. But to start bitching and moaning at people about not caring about music because they don't want to buy an Agnostic Front record is just infantile. But then Trev's not the most sophisticated debater I've ever encountered
 
Apparently, already owning the stuff on the list that might interest you makes you "smug", somehow.

Also, if it's all so good, why sell it? :D
 
Can I tape that Antz demos LP off you? Does it have Dirk Wears White Sox on it?

yes, it does. it's got everything. My mate's got it but this thread has reminded me he's had it for fucking YEARS so will pull him up and give you a shout when i get it back. happy to rattle you off a copy. :)

Make sure you put it on a tape, none of that MP3 bollocks, that shit is killing music.

PS
It looks like it has the live version of DWWS not the demo. Shame.
 
Art is dead.

?

:(

When did that happen?
 
Have we entered an age where no one cares about music anymore? At least in the 80's people wore dreadlocks so you could see em coming, but now it seems like just about everyone wants it for nothing.

What on earth does this mean? :confused:

Think he means that once upon a time people paid a visual price for their afiliation to music.

You knew someone was heavily into music because they expressed it in the way they looked.

Punk hairdos
Mod clothing
Leather rocker's jackets.

Personally i think we've just gotten to the stage where music is so freely available and diverse you don't need to wear your music idenity like a badge of honour cause every fucker is into all sorts of music so whats the bloody point. We've grown up somewhat from such childish tribalism.

Well I've got to that stage, a lot of people I meet clearly think I haven't though :hmm:

Or maybe he means that bedreadlocked persons are QUITE CLEARLY freeloading skinflints

Probably true tbf
 
If you want to know who and what killed the small independant record store I have one word for you.

Ebay.

If you read record collectors guide you'll see a huge rant about how Ebay has killed the record collectables industry with people who formally had shops themselves even switching to online trading.

Aye that is partly true, i get such a fucking laugh down the boot sale when ya see knobends with record collector books picking up every single record and flicking through the book (we're talking stalls who get their stuff from tips here) ...the would be ebay entrepeneur!

Just wondered what its like to be in a band with him, it must be pretty tense judging by his "at war with the punk scene" pieces in er...punk zines!
 
trevhagl - just out of interest, do you listen to other kinds of music, apart from punk?

In the 80's i listened to Hanoi Rocks, Men They Couldn't Hang , early New Model Army (the birds fave all time band, i try not to remind her of how BORING they've become!)

To be honest i rarely listen to owt else now
 
Yet it's other people who don't care about music anymore? :confused:

Quite :D

Trev, it's up to you what you like, same as it's up to me. People might take the piss but Urban's like that.

BUT to only listen to punk and then to berate people for their tastes? C'mon - it's somewhere on the spectrum between infantile to outright fuckwitted arrogance.

I'm only really inspired by punk and oi, and i'm not going to start listening to drum and bass to please people on here.
My argument is RESPECT to all those who support the bands they're into , whatever the genre.

But you've said lots of things that suggest you DON'T respect all those who support the bands they're into, whatever the genre.
