The Music Watchtower

Thanks for all you comments...

Now for a little bit from where I'm coming from.

The real question I asked the question was, 'is there too much music out there?' so it is great that you all feel that there is not, otherwise I would not be doing what I'm doing. (I'm a full time musician, teacher, promoter, producer and recording engineer.)

There is no way that I would ever say that a musician or band should not be able to make a living from their art, but nobody seemed to pick up on the fact that the mass market crap has such a vast scale of influence, as it is shoved down the throats of most young people, who a lot of end up believing that what the commercial radios play is where it is at as they get older. Now most internet users know that the internet is full of alt places hosting great music.

One of you spoke of another music revolution, I think this worldwide recession has to get a lot worse before people start taking a closer look at what the cold hard facts of life are. But, I certainly welcome a change of one kind or another. The one thing that is really bothering me is that music is becoming more and more life fast food restaurants chains, mass produced and tasteless....
