Thanks for the listen and feedback :D I am glad you have a chance to reconnect with your brother and look forward to what you come up with on future posts. :wink:

James, I like how you've been playing with your new software. my brother and I have been playing around on his mac and hope to have something post-able before too long (I mean stuff I write under assignments). I liked the somewhat chaotic, arcade like noises, and I didn't miss the brief MTV riff thrown in at an appropriate moment (nice touch). Been thinking about those days since hearing the news about Micheal Jackson - some of my earlier TV viewing memories are his videos.

Thanks for the feedback :D
only thing I can find fault with is a lack of references to the coolest TV programmes to watch. EITHER.....cast your mind back to your early days of watching TV, and write about a particular series...
OR....cast your mind back, etc, and write about the experience of watching TV when you were little - how did it shape your perceptions, your view of the world, etc? I was opting more for the the "OR" part of the assignment instead of writing about a particular series.....kind of like Bruce Springsteen's "57 Channels (and nothin' on"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5scpDev1qps
http://www.springsteenlyrics.com/lyrics/0/57channels.php
....It was interesting hearing his song again and how he got around the idea of listing tv shows by talking more about the purchase of a satellite dish then the actual shows. For your generation you mentioned having 2 to 3 channels....For my generation, it was the beginning of the overload period....cable TV, VCRs, video games...hours and hours and hours of TV usage :twisted: TV Land - isn't that a channel in the US that shows really, really, really old programmes? Yes :wink:
(Side issue - didn't MTV used to stand for Music TeleVision? So - where'd the music go?) Where indeed :wink:

Thanks again.

James

P.S. This week's assignment is throwing me for a bit of a loop to write a song about a song :? ....then again you did say radio not song....ok...time to put on the thinking cap and find an angle.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group jamestoffee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y7wk34-tv-land/#post-332520 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y7wk34-tv-land/#post-332506 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 01:21:47 +0000
TV Land - isn't that a channel in the US that shows really, really, really old programmes? I have vague memories of our last night in Texas in 2005, watching Gunsmoke (nostalgic sighhhhhh!) The Andy Griffith Show (Hey - isn't that Richie from happy days? You know, Ron Howard?) and a couple of other oldies - trying to stay awake till we had to leave for the airport at some ungodly hour like 3am.

You captured the nostalgic feeling of being a child of the TV generation OK, James - only thing I can find fault with is a lack of references to the coolest TV programmes to watch. You've evoked plenty of mental pictures with your imagery, but they're more like snapshots/frozen frames - but a few references to actual programmes would have brought the song more to life - like a video instead of a photo, I'd have mentally been replaying scenes from them in my head....

Love the last two lines, though..... great ending!

Great "research"! or as Dylan would say "L-O-L"

Oh, yes! DC Comic's multi-universe theory! This picture looks like it would be from "Earth-C" later to be renamed "Earth-26" during the Infinity Crisis Numbering System. :wink:
