My friend totally hooked me onto this band - MGMT. I listen to them when i run in the morning, when i rewrite thesis and all the other occasions - like taking a dump, boiling water to make teas and so on.
Anyway, the music is good and what they are saying about the future of mp3 files is interesting.
"Kids are going to be inheriting their parents MP3 collections, and, in that aesthetic, corrupted MP3 files will be like the way people glorify scratched-up records now. In 20 years, people will listen to these 30th generation MP3s and say, 'I love that sound!'"
Hmm.. yeah- all those stuff that's around right now as new technology, new media and so on. what will be their future? are they going to be another obsolete object or totally disappear? Are we gonna fancy the ipod touch like old mercedez?
the function driven technologies, in my opinion doesn't have any quality to capture the time in them. once it defies its given limit, that's it. time to be forgotten. Yet i think it's quite interesting to impose nostalgic futurism onto them.. anyway, future can be talked forever, but no one will see it anyway - what is so called 'future' is no more than planned present.
