Future of music (part 2)

What will new music sound like 1000 years from now?

[OBonio]

Like Led Zeppelin.

It's a bit hard to do on a text only forum

A 1000 years from now, the music is still largely dominated and controlled by the major pan-universal record companies, such as Electro-Music (Intergalactic) incorporated, (or �EMI�).

Most of the Central Universe Charts (sponsored by Draco-cola) is dominated by the usual foetus-bands doing dodgy 80's covers (that's the 2980's of course).

By starting their careers prior to birth, and by travelling at super-light speeds, it enables the band to cross the huge inter-stellar distances for personal appearances and album-signings, to places as far-flung as Vega-delta, the Andromeda Nebula and the Gateshead Metro-Centre, before the inevitable split due to �artistic differences�.

The time anomalies that occur at super-light speeds meant that in one notorious case, (involving a certain foetus-band member, a Silurian Oryx, and a Jacuzzi in a hotel-room on Delphinus-6), the record company avoided a sales disaster caused by the media backlash by re-releasing the �Greatest Hits� album before the scandal had actually happened.

The charts in the 3000�s are also punctuated by the occasional novelty dance-record, (made popular by people returning from their perihelial holidays on Faliraki-sigma); the inevitable Xrismus number-one by Kliff Richudd�hv (hologrammatic version); and the odd Status Quo single, released to coincide with their latest come-back tour.

Excellent answer brachiopod.

It'll be all bleepy like in Buck Rogers!

I don't know what it'll sound like but I bet Slade will still be re-releasing "Merry Christmas".
