Horrible Remixes

JERUSALEM — So, after tonight, I have become con­fi­dent in the stodgi­ness of my old age as far as music is con­cerned. In a local kiosk, a con­ve­nience store, I over­heard a dance-techno remix using the piano solo in Supertramp’s “Crime of the Cen­tury” heard at 2:20. (I can­not find the remix online.) Then, lis­ten­ing to Gagalatz ear­lier this evening, I heard this techno-dance remix of “Ser­e­nade” by the Steve Miller Band.

It just goes to show that mod­ern music is bank­rupt. All they can do is pig­gy­back on the tal­ent of ear­lier artists.
