And, in your opinion, which might be the better band to listen to?

 

 

Neither as good as Rush.

Neither as good as The Carsick Cars, either.

Bet you never heard of this band.

 

This is actually an Arbitrage Trading Band....

 

This band, as far as I recall, was one of the stars put forward by the Beijing Professor....

Who once owned a metal-club in Beijing.

 

Long Time Passing, but I still remember a bit.

 

So, you have:

 

The Cars

The Carsick Cars

 

Just a matter of TASTE.

 

 

 

As far as I know, that prof is still teaching in Beijing....even post-Pandemic.

 

 

 

 

Pettis, I think, was an arbitrageur who did well, and got out, just in time, before the big crash.

 

But, he didn't foresee the Carsick Cars crash, obviously.

 

The Cars

And Boston

Are still doing better, even now.

 

I guess one would need to be interested in China to know a lot about this garbage, as a matter of course.

It's happenings such as this that we in China, Old China Hands, know about...even though we might not necessarily care about...

Such nonsense.

 

Pettis is a very interesting fellow.

I once kept up with him and his exploits.

But, finally, he tired me out...and...I just....

Gave up.

No WAY, no HOW!

Pettis was very...DOWN...on ...

Dumb bands from the West.

 

He always maintained that in recent decades.....bands in the West had become....mostly...

PABLUM.

 

This is why he opened his own club in Beijing...to...FIGHT against....

PABLUM.

 

One club was D-22 (PUNK ROCK)....

 

As you can see here, from Gemini, the AI that seems to know everything:

 

 

But....what did D-22 really sound like, about ,,, more than a decade ago?

Heaven Forbid.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It sounded......

 

REFRESHING.....

 

According to Pettis.

 

As I say:  A very interesting fellow.

 

(((Wow, Man....almost TWO DECADES AGO....This so much dates me.  Even though, at the time, nobody would date me.  Such a LONG TIME GONE, passing.....)))

 

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:  This was BEFORE the XiJinPing ERA....Sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're all good, and different. One is pop rock, one is melodic rock and one is progressive rock. Can't compare them. They all have music that crosses over to other rock genres.

My opinion is not so important.

 

Let's just go with the opinion of the famous prof Pettis.

He should know.

 

He made a bundle on Wall Street, I think....

Trading Short, probably.

 

I never liked his taste in music.

 

Maybe....just perhaps....he might be...

Tone Deaf.

 

 

STILL: I can usually accept almost all kinds of music. And some music resonates more gracefully with me.  JS BACH is....GOD.

The Chieftains in China, particularly.

Peoples opinions on music mean little. See how long some bands took to get elected into the hall of fame and see how much crapola got there easy. Pop music is huge, although it's the least talented musicians and much of it is soulless pap. All personal taste and a lot of people like music they can dance to. Much of the best music will never be heard by the masses.

Not so much I grew up around it is all. I dare not flare up the op posting some of my trash music. So I'll go with something he'll like.

Music first arose in the Paleolithic period, though it remains unclear as to whether this was the Middle (300,000 to 50,000 BP) or Upper Paleolithic (50,000 to 12,000 BP). The vast majority of Paleolithic instruments have been found in Europe and date to the Upper Paleolithic.

All along the eastern shore...
