what a bunch of yuk Crazy J you make a point there that I'd like to expound upon. I used to use napster back in the day, and i discovered soooooo many "underground" or independant label bands. I then proceeded to support those artists by purchasing thier records. Perhaps what is happening is not a loss in record sales overall but a loss in pop-crap tard bands record sales due to the overall awareness of new and undiscovered talent?
dunno just a thought
then there is always this too, I used to listen to an online radio station called woxy.com yeah it's just recently been shutdown. Different reasons, but it has alot to do with freaking clearchannel and retarded bigbuisness-run radio. This place was caled "the future of rock and roll" and they meant it. They played freaking everything man, it was the best radio station ever. And it's gone, for good. It's sad to me already how much publicity and fallowing all of the major label bands get, and how really lame and easily made music gets on the air and infests our everyday lives. Good music is hard to find as it is , and fans of good music are losing the venues to discover those bands. It's starting to feel more like a socialist-led art where they hand us what they want us to hear. Really bumming me out.
-just an idea and a ramble. |
