What a wonderful world this would be!

And - 'brit pop' would never've happened!

There's an regular article in Guitarist magazine on "Ideas that didn't catch on", and this month's idea was a guitar that was made of granite, or a form of granite, because it gave great sustain. It also broke the guitarist's back if played for longer than 4 minutes, so it was doomed.

Turntable manufacturers 'd be fuXored too - unlesss they started making needles of toothpicks, or frozen saltsticks!

don't knock it till you try it, put a little on your plate.
don't waste it till you taste it, some kids think it's great.

Keeping CDs in a hot car might be a problem... But ramming a guitar through an amp would be spectacular.

dave225 - on the dime!

But then someone would invent A ROBOT GUITAR PLAYER who could play the thing, and soon enough we'd have cool robots instead of egotistical human guitar players!

Oh, right! And then the singer would be a vocoder.. Right.. Fuckin' sheesh!

An also obviuous development:

Pretty soonish there'd be
a competing new format
called 'the yummy pizza ep'!

meanwhile in the guitar galaxy, Fender and Les Paul institute the exceptionally well paid post of sculptor-in-residence

in the analog and digital sphere,
laptops 'll be designed as frying pans
& mixing desks as refrigerators

It would end playing with your teeth.

Kraft would be the largest record label in the US. Interestingly enough, Velveeta would mean the same thing as it does now.

Wasn't the Danelectro guitar made of something called masonite? Which is close to concrete, I think.

There would be a strong vinyl only sub-culture among vegans.

All but the strongest guitarists would play their guitars while the rested on tables (sort of like Fred Frith sometimes does), leading to the popularization of what were formerly experimental guitar techniques. Rock music would be infused with another 100 year of life's blood.

CD players would have to contain a chemical coolant of some sort, raising ecological concerns.

Europeans would complain about America's "pasteurized" sound.

True roots music would only be issued on raw milk cheese CDs.

Patty Smyth will release Yeaster

Terminal Cheesecake & Concrete Blonde regroup and attempt a desperate comeback, recording a split-cheeseburger single "Hail To The Dentist"

Micro ovens become the regular remixing tool of choice for DJ's

I believe Masonite is made from compressed sawdust, or wood fiber. Whatever the case, it's closer to wood than concrete.

Hey t\'\'t, may I post a picture of Gary Glitter on your thread?

Huh? Well, where's the cheese and concrete then? ...In their pants?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:27 (twenty-two years ago)

If you can't see the cheese...

They wouldn't have to put parental advisory stickers on the CDs because the dirty ones would already be blue.

― nickn (nickn), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:43 (twenty-two years ago)

No, but the FDA would label them.
