Re: How to stop RIAA?

Verily I say unto thee, that Martha Adams spake thusly:

Most of what passes for "music" these days is much like any other
sample of it: why isn't there software out there that will synthesize
a perfectly good-enough more of the same and if you have that
software you can run up a character table and the software will then
produce any amount of this music?

That's already been done. It's called Stock, Aitken & Waterman.

Witness the monotonous; talentless; computer synthesised 80's "hits" of
SA&W's protégés, Sonya; Rick Astley; Mel and Kim; Jason Donovan; Hazell
Dean; Bananarama; and Kylie Minogue. It's like listening to the musical
version of an Eliza-bot. The "girl-band"/"boy band" phenomena that came
shortly thereafter, seems to have employed the same Eliza-bot for their
musical "compositions" ... a tradition that continues to this day, I am
rather sad to say.


And yet the dumbfuck poster boys/girls still believe they're actually talented, even though they usually mime.

I almost pissed myself laughing last year when I read in the paper that Cheryl Cole accused Charlotte Church of stealing "Girls Aloud's sound".
