these two words seems to be the theme of this message board...the features should write a song about it of title an album or something 'relevant or irrelevant' does anyone see where i'm going with this?

We have about 1500 songs.....all of them good!

I'm not sure where you're going, but I agree. All things in the universe can be classified as relevant or irrelevant. It's only natural that they make a song about it (with vocoders).

phases and stages, circles and cycles, scenes that we've all seen before, let me tell you some more

vocoders are very relevant. just for variety, can someone grap a thesarus see if synonymns exist for relevant and it's negative counterpoint?

No song should be sang without a vocoder. Human voices have no place in music. Vocoders make you sound like a robot. Robots are superior.

I thought the most prevelant synonym was 'important'.

Neu + LW:

You are both correct in a way. I am Gary Webb. You might remember from such bands as Tubeway Army and Gary Numan. In 1974, I constructed two machines to sing and make songs. Their names are Ralf and Florian

Real

and

There are no real 'Ralf and Florian'. I hire stand-ins to guard my secret. Seeing as how you found me out, I can no longer return to this message board. Goodbye.

Salient. A professor of mine frequently uses that word. I like it, though not as much as relevant.
Vocoders are okay to listen to during the day, but they're too scary for me to deal with if I'm alone after the sun has gone down. Robots also scare me. I'm just a cavemen...

Relevant: Prince, PT Anderson, Punk, Post-Punk, Purple, Party of Five, Peter Swanson, Peter Gabriel-led Genesis, "Peter Panic", Paul's Boutique, Potential Energy, Every Features MB member but me.
