[sdre-l]: Music Stores
Hey there everyone! I wrote a couple of weeks ago regarding what music stores to go to in Seattle to find Sunny Day merchandise, and I just wanted to thank everybody who responded to my request. Just about everybody recommended going to the Sub Pop Mega Mart, and I made it there on the last day of my trip. Unfortunately they were closed for inventory which really disappointed me, and I was not able to get anything. The store sure looked cool from the outside though. If you've ever been there before, you'll know what I mean when I say that the store name is pretty funny and ironic. :) Even though I did not have any luck in my search, thanks again for your help everybody! Also, does anyone know if Sunny Day has any intentions on playing any shows down in Santa Barbara, CA? I had tickets to the show they canceled here in February, and I would really love to see them perform live. If anyone from the list is from around Santa Barbara, drop me line, I'd love to meet you. Thanks again! -Josh Do or do not... There is no try. Yoda- Empire Strikes Back __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: [sdre-l]: We're Gods/Touched for Something Greater?
I don't even see the point in comparing these pop culture icons with bands like sunny day, considering that they are setting out to do completely different things. I mean, lots of these people don't even write their own music for christ's sake! And the ones that do, when they sit down and write a song, they're not trying to write something that's going to stir the listener's emotions, so why criticize them because their music doesn't do that for you? They're trying to make you dance, or make you sing along, or something. Judge them on how well they do at that. There are no definitions on what is quality. Music doesn't have to be extremely emotional to be good. I'll like music because it makes me dance, or I'll like music because it's catchy, but I don't like the pop culture gods because I can't take them seriously. I'll also like bands because their music is emotionally powerfull, but I dislike many emo bands for that same reason, lots of emo music I just can't take seriously. And by the way, I don't think I'm any smarter than anybody else becaue I DO like a band they dislike, or I DON'T like a band they DO like. Musical taste has no reflection on intelligence, no matter which way you slice it. And don't say that your MUSICALLY smarter than them, either. Because being musically advanced just makes you understand the musical formulas better. Being musically intellegent doesn't change your taste, just opens more doors of musical comprehension, allowing you more options with witch to choose what you like and dislike. thanks for your time, matt t. carlson p.s. since everybody else is doing this I'll do it too: Now Playing: Tortoise- "Millions now Living Will Never die" Angelfire for your free web-based e-mail. http://www.angelfire.com

Re: [sdre-l]: meaningful music
JustinBRAVO!!! Quality answer, great n.p. Well I'm gonna offer my opinion. I've been sitting silently and observing this thread and I'm gonna make my peace and be quiet. What make Sunny Day more respectable than these numerous pop stars that have poped up? THEY WRITE THEIR OWN MUSIC!!! They as a group piece these songs together with their own immaginations. The Pop star solution??? It's just a formula. Some one creates a beat...comes up with the melody...someone writes some vocal parts. Then they hire a seventeen year old with a decent voice and tits that behold the miracles of modern science to sing it and bounce around in videos and on stage. Come on now...Ms Spears does Not write her own music...she never performed a live show before she made her CD. The record company doesn't try to sell her musical genious...they're selling an immage! She's a puppet! Sunny Day is a band. Who is "better" is a subjective question. Opinions are like assholes... Who's more respectable? There is little debate who wins that one hands down. Jeff Well, the debate has been raging over the assertion that Sunny Day is universally good music and therefor superior to groups with less substance. Personally, I don't think it is elitist to agree with that assertion. I don't know if any of you have read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, but it says a lot about the existence of quality. Quality is the only thing that is both objective and subjective; quality can be inherent in an object. And I think it is inherent in the music of Sunny Day. Sure I enjoy listening to other bands. This ties in to the discussion we had earlier about hair bands. But I realize that they don't exude (harbor, whatever) as much quality as Sunny Day. And while Sunny Day may be at the top of the heap in emotional quality, they may lack the musical quality of other bands. I think quality is real and attainable and recognizable. And I don't think it's elitist to think so. Justin n.p. Ben Folds Five "The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner" __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
