in the 70's a band would get the chance to maybe put out one album in their career and the four members of that band would have, like, 50 years of combined music experience in 50 different bands. and now there is vampire weekend. shit happens.

idgi. how many '70s bands made just one album vs. the ones that made an album every 10 months for as long as they were together?

well there have always been a dozen short-lived footnotes for every career artist -- how does that make the 70s different from now (sorry i don't know what the original thread this statement was made on, i'm probably missing some key context)
― some dude, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:58 (twelve years ago) link
i think it was something about how people in the past would hone their abilities and pay their dues and learn many different styles over a period of years and post-punk this changed and post-internet it changed even more. something like that.

we had a thread where people lined up to take turns polling artists careers like soccer moms arranging post-game snacks, so let's chill on what we call "ilx at its worst"

The thing is that right now the public cares more about Cheryl and Ashley or Kate and Wills. Phone hacking – a complex business, difficult to condense into a snappy paragraph, not black and white, might land some connected people in trouble, therefore #notagoodstory.
