Use to be, the good thing about music was that when it hit you, you'd feel no pain.

After a while, those fascist pigs at the RIAA will have soldiers at every concert, making sure that noone does anything but sit down and listen to the music that Metallica or some other fascist shithead band is playing.

Hey,Rastafari.Have you ever been to the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham?It sounds like you've experienced their "friendly,welcoming" atmosphere before.

[Rastafari]

I believe Nottingham is in Angland, so I have never been there. Alas, the only place I really wanted to hear music at in England was in Hammersmith Palais, but its gone now.

Is the "friendly, welcoming atmosphere" you speak of a good thing, or is it meant in a sarcastic, "Sheriff of Nottingham (you knew that was coming)" light?

[Son of Scargill]

It was meant in a very sarcastic way.
Showing any sign of excitement has the goons homing in on you,and if you dare to stand up prepare to be ejected.I saw 3 and a bit bands there.I fucked off to the pub after 2 songs at the last gig.Band were ok but I couldn't take the repressiveness any more.Never been back,never will.
No one worth seeing plays there anymore,thank fuck.

You can't stop piracy in Malaysia, though. I can still buy a CD for 2.32089 Euros or 2.63158 USD. :D

[Rastafari]

oww fuck!!!
I was listening to Eek-A-Mouse for some stupid reason, and about 10 seconds into it, the sharp LOUD static comes up and pops my ears.

So I dl some Roots, and the same shit!!! I hate you Music Fascists!!!

(i didn't read the article but...)

I think those fines and such for having downloaded music are just in the US at the moment. Nothing has been decided for canada yet, so rest easy tonight. :)
