Stiff Posted August 24, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2017 It'll still sound much better than some of the tosh that is being released lately. I wonder if there will be a video available for it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klownzilla Posted August 24, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Well the chorus is different. You know that part at 03:45, when you hear absolutely nothing? That part is completely different :D 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essan Posted August 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Aye, but the bit at 01.11 through to 01.56 is identical! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundew Posted August 25, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 25, 2017 In a similar vein: "And then you get an artist says he doesn't want to paint at allHe takes an empty canvas and sticks it on the wallThe birds of a feather all the phonies and all of the fakes....."

paperdyer Posted August 25, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 25, 2017 This just shows you some people will buy anything just to be "in". We all can do the same thing for free. Just turn the blasted iPhone off. I was given one for work and hate it! I don't hate all of it. I like the resolution of the screen, then I hate it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highdesert50 Posted August 25, 2017 #17 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Reminiscent of the 1970's Pet Rock fad. Story is an advertising exec, listening to his friends talk about all grooming, walking, and bathing necessary for their pets, developed a minimalist solution, a humourous instruction manual on pet rock care along with a boxed pet rock. He became a millionaire. But, for a brief moment in time a fraction of the population grasped the meaning of ... it's not that life is so complicated but that simplicity is so rarely understood.

Bendy Demon Posted August 26, 2017 #19 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Kind of along the line of the morons who paid thousands, if not millions, on art that was invisible i.e non-existent. But hey, if someone wants to pay money to listen to "silence" then go for it. As for myself, a quiet stint in the woods or alone in my room with the door closed to the outside world is just as good and it costs me nothing.

godnodog Posted August 26, 2017 #20 Share Posted August 26, 2017 8 hours ago, Klownzilla said: Next step...movies...sitting in a theater staring at a white screen for 2 hours Has been done, by a portuguese filmmaker, needless to say it was thrashed by media and movie goers were really p***ed off, later on it was discovered that the government institute of film arts subsidized the cost for the video camera film, even they became really p***ed at the director when themovie came out. Cant remember or find the movie's name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klownzilla Posted August 26, 2017 #21 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Wow really? That is hilarious and crazy. I still think it would give me more pleasure to watch that than anything with rosie o'donnell though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiogene Posted August 27, 2017 #22 Share Posted August 27, 2017 O RLY? 10 MINUTES...OF SILENCE? This isn't a song at all, it's a joke. Don't play this during a total solar eclipse (totality) - last Monday, in spots where people gathered, classical, new age or classic rock music were played in the background. How about this sample from Michael Jackson's Thriller album? Released on Nov 30, 1982 (night of the lunar eclipse), you would want to play a 1980s audio cassette in your boombox while you're outside watching the moon under the earth's shadow. Underrated song, but 100 times better than the "10 minutes of silence", I tell ya what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
