Not for me. Disco and its present descendants SUCKS! ;-)
taste wise I quite agree - but as for the "hip" instrument in the
music-scene: "the last guitar solo the world wanted to hear was in
Purple Rain" (dunno whom I'm actually quoting; some piano teacher said
that to keep guitarists focused on chord&melody: "licks are for
air-guitar")
I guess the air-guitar will have a a good chance for a come-back once
laptops are out of style ;)
laptopbattle sound like fun! are there similar events in Europe?
@any contestants: wanna share your code/scripts past the battle?
Would it be against the rules to collaborate before the battle (->
openbattle.linuxaudio.org ;) - others buy support.. you'll get it for free!
