While in the car today i heard an NPR story about Chicago rock radio station Q101 and how they went off the airwaves several months ago. They were talking about how its a shame that stations are closing and how young musicians won't have any inspiration if there isn't anymore radio and all this bullshit.
Look, the reason radio stations are going under is NOT because of ipods or internet radio stations or Pandora it's because radio stations play the same 40 songs over and over and over and over again, nothing new. If it is new then it's a new song from an artist that the specific station already plays eight of their other songs.
These days I don't feel bad for the music industry. i feel bad for the quality artists that have to sit back and get shit on by corporate pricks sitting back and making cash and now they blame consumers for stealing music and taking away profits. FUCK THAT. i know that the artists don't make shit off their own music but from merch sales and live concerts.think of the full time bands that you listen to, when is the last time they stopped touring to take a break for longer than a couple weeks???
if you want something different to listen to that isn't a band that's in it for money or bitches or drugs, i can point you in that direction. ask and you shall receive
also in case you can't see with your eyeballs i have a weekly play list over on the left hand side of this blog, just of stuff that i listen to if you are feeling adventurous
