Hey , yeah that is a great concept! I think you're right. There is some good music being put out but the majority of it stinks! You got American Idol cranking out stars like a factory assembly line. Along with all the undesireable gutter music. Not to

mention the CD's themselves are made of very poor & delicate material and one tiny scratch or smudge, it's history. Then you have your second-time-around shops where, if ya can hold off awhile on paying $18.00 for that new CD, you can go in 6 months to a year later and buy it for like 4 or 5 bucks, that is if you still wanna hear it after that radio station you listen to wore it out. The best radio stations to listen to are Public Broadcasting music cafes.

I spent 5 years avoiding radio, because as a writer I was afraid Id fall in the trap of trying to repeat what I heard On Air LOL

There were plenty of studies published on why the industry is failing but they aren't listening. The majority of consumers aren't teens yet most of the music produced these days are for teens, a large portion of which will end up downloading the material

illegally. The largest consumers of music, those aged 25 to 40, are ignored when it comes to new material and they've already purchased most of their LP or tape collection on CD. And to make matters worse the industry's been dumping lots of promotional funding in those pathetically generic "bling" videos.

Someone here made a comment to the effect that indies love digital because it allows them to be heard. Boy, am I torn on that one. I've been a music fanatic since the early 1970's (when I became a rebel and broke away from my parents country western
more...
and went full on rock *L*). Part of the reason I believe we have groups from the late 70's and early 80's still in demand (Aerosmith, Van Halen, Metallica, Pearl Jam, etc.) is because we have people up top who knew good music and provided us with lasting talent. Now, while I hear some really hot bands (Disturbed, Nickleback, etc.) there are so many one-hit wonders that I become discouraged about where music is headed. The industry is, indeed, splintered to the point where categories are invalid, and anyone with a camcorder and a karaoke machine can be a "star". Ok, that's a bit extreme, but you get my point, surely. There's a lot of crap out there today and no one with a net.

I agree with your idea of giving ownership of radio/television stations back to local ownership - I don't think the few mega-owners in this country will agree :-) In my observations, it seem as if there are two kinds of listeners - those who have always
more...
enjoyed a wide variety of music (and who will never be satisfied with one station anyway) and those who are strictly devoted to one type of music (those folks are most likely to find a station to which they can be loyal). I am in the first category and so cd's are perfect for me. I'm not stuck "flipping channels" to find music I like, nor am I tied to one station listening to something that makes me want to slam my head in the car door. I would think that consumers like myself would keep the music business afloat. However, on second thought, if they're all as nearly poor as I am, they don't buy cd's as often as they should.

iliketodrum, regarding your 2/14 comment to me, the DMCA is a law that protects (or tries to protect) digitized content. A law can't generate revenue. You work "part-time". I have been in this business full-time as a lawyer since the mid-90s. You are

bumping your head against the wall on this one. If everything was copacetic in the music business we wouldn'tbe reading artcles like the one in RollingStone as well as countless other publications ranging from the New York Times to Vanity Fair magazine. You are wrong, my friend. End of discussion.

Great video gpert. I have to agree with you that music today mostly stinks. The big record companies are always looking to make money the quickest way possible and never give bands or artist time to get a following. If the artist has poor sales on the

debut album the company basically gives up on them. Most great bands that I love today had poor 1st or 2nd album sales.
Also another reason for weakened sales is that many people are not buying CD's from artists who's record company is with the RIAA.

Interesting comments that you make about the Music Industry. However, I believe that it is a far more complicated issue than can be expressed in your short video. Music companies have had problems for dozens of years trying to address artist development

issues. The rapid changes in technology has only put this problem of poorly developed artists into sharper focus. In addition, today's society moves at such a fast pace that music that was in fashion a year ago sounds stale and lifeless now. It is far easier for music companies to find music acts for today, and then, drop them when they are not popular and move on to the next act. A creative force like the Beatles would probably not be able to exist today. Musical creativity must be nurtured over time. Today, many of the majors are just diving into their vast catalogs and pushing out compilations of their popular artists of yesteryear. As you infer in this video, a site like LV could be very instrumental in breaking new artists, but perhaps this is more a positive thing for unsigned artists and indie labels.
