Swingin' Ryan Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 ?(Live music is sooooooo amazing!! But I suppose if there's nothing that you want to go to... The problem with the Jo Whiley theory of 'We love all Live Music' is that live music is only great if it's music you like. There's nothing exciting whatsoever about seeing a band you don't like playing live. I only go to gigs to see a band I like or to check out a band I think I might like, not because I have any kind of craving for live music in general.

Jeanette Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I only go to gigs to see a band I like or to check out a band I think I might like, not because I have any kind of craving for live music in general.I know that. I only go and see bands that I want to see. But seeing your favourite band live and them blowing you away with their performance is awesome or little bands that you enjoy and you see them becoming developing is also fantastic.I did also say that if there wasn't anything that she wanted to go to then don't. I wouldn't go just because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all_his_engines Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I don't doubt that there's a correlation can be made between where people shop for clothes and what kind of music they listen to. But then why not ask them what kind of books they read or what kind of food they like? Limiting a study of music culture to just clothing is a mistake made too often.I'm not having a go, just trying to explain my comment about relevance.

scottyboy Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yes I thought the same thing that's why I was initially sceptic about the question because if anyone links clothing to music in a fashion/genre stance then I would have to poke them in the eye.A music questionaire should be about the music but all has been revealed about the respective question and the questionaire itself ah but it's a 'music related questionare', semantics eh. It's not much of a surprise to me that a 'commercial music degree' is about more than the music itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(general, dont go over board!)they are very very few local bands that I'd go see live, most of the local bands are metal, heavy rock, emo, sreamo whatever you want to call it, that isn't my scene. would be nice to see more of a diversity of bands from different genres. although they are afew great exceptions, including quite a good hip/hop dj scene with the likes of giles walker and dj ala fu5.
