What is music world coming to

I was always hopefull( wished) that i will never hear a remix of "Comfortably numb" and then it happened today on radio.
I heard a Dhinchak techno rap (or whatever it is called) version of Comfortably numb.
How can record companies and radio stations allow such cheap and twisted imitations? may be they cant find talent anymore.
Also showed how screwed up today's generation is, i have my fists clenched since then.

are u sure u had an open mind when it comes to remixes? most people (including me) immdtly shut off when we hear a remix. i am trying to change that now..heard the new remix of 'we dont need no education'...quite liked it (without in anyway comparing it to the original)..

dear vikas..what happened to you was an instant reaction...resisting a change..

..but dont you feel, whenever you encounter one of these, you tend to appreciate the original even more...also..if pink flyod himself doesn't mind.. why should you..?

shuv: why the fuck should i have apen mind? i am happy with whatever i have in my close mind. It is perfectly allright to shut one self up when one hears remisxes. YOU DONT HAVE TO TAKE THAT SHIT.
RIP: what if not to change is an option? they are not even worth comparing to orignal ones. The reason pink floyd guys dont mind is the same why we dont mind barking dogs. THEY CARE A FUCK.

dear vikas..i surely hv no intention of endorsing stupid remixes..you know that.

...my point is..u cant really restrict an art form this way..

..you can only choose...i think thats fair enough..
..just dont listen to them..dont watch plagiarised movies..dont listen to r.d burman remixes...dont stay in a hotel which is 'inspired' by an Indonesian village...dont buy an assembled computer....

come on bro...where would you go..?

I know what you mean surojit but i am not restricting any art form, all i am doing is restricting myself. i would not watch a plagiarised movie,would not listen to RD burman remixes, would not stay in inspired hotels and woulld not buy assembled computer if i feel the same way about orignals of all these as i feel about comfortably numb.

Tu piku hai na? sala itne saal baad baat kiya woh bhi seedha lecture shuru?

Scout said...

isn't this old news? anyway.. i just laugh disbelievingly.

Jaywalker said...

aarey! tujhey yaad hai boss..i did not think you'll remember my name.
its really nice to talk to you yaar..hows life?

lecture?..aur tujhey?..i still remember your size...
actually i've felt the same way so many times about remixes that i simply cud not help writing...and since i know u r pretty far off...its safe now.

scout: none of it was meant to be news. It was genuine anger i felt that day but now i am allright, i will change the channel next time i hear it.

Piku: I am fine here. dont worry tu kuch bhi bol if i get angry i hit deep nowadays.

Jaywalker said...

Shuv said...

Vikas said...
