Exactly right - why do people now think they have the right to inflict their tuneless drivel on us at volumes that would awaken the dead. rather like some people in cars. It's always the same rubbish as well - you don't hear anyone driving along with Beethoven blaring out of the window do you?
So you weren't actually in a bad crash, just near one when it happened. Man the **** up and buy a car. Those ice caps won't melt themselves.
Kids today eh? Of course, you never blasted out ****ty 80's dance music out your Sony walkman did you Dan?
The walkman had earphones so at least a token gesture towards not subjecting the rest of us to the ****e they listened to was made. Also I'm not old enough to have had a walkman.
I agree entirely with the first sentence and wish i could agree with the second Yes i had a walkman (not ****ty 80s dance music though) but there's a world of difference between the noise they made and the noise made when people don't even have earphones. As for cars you can actually feel the pavement shake when some of them go by such is the noise level generated.
Back in the day dan used to complain about young rapscallions exhibiting loud musical chorus and verse using their newfangled portable gramophone while riding to the local market town upon the stagecoach.
I used to quill indignant letters to Mozart about his cavalier use of the cello in the second movement.
It's because I can remember having the narcissistic thoughts, that my music was cool and every other **** in the bus must know how cool I am, that I can now point my finger at teenagers and call them dickheads.
They still make them, I bought a brand new Walkman 2 years ago. It was recommended as the best way to rip music from old tapes, just plug it in your soundcard and capture the audio. So far I've done The Apostles and Victims of the Pestilence, you can find them on my Youtube channel. Got about 20 Conflict live tapes to do which I will get round to one day.
