Interesting Point From A Conversation Last Night

In the article posted below, I comment on the mainstream music industries failure to provide us, or point us in the direction of, new and ground-breaking music. They do, however, like to recycle sounds and styles from a decade or so ago, and then spend lots of money trying to convince us that we havn't heard anything like it before.

The article isn't really about me getting up on my soapbox or anything - just food for thought maybe.

An interesting point that was raised last night (in a discussion about the war we are currently involved in) was that all the information we need, including all the music we wish to listen to, is instantly available to us. Arguments of whether the media are providing us with the correct information, or again music (if we want to keep this relevant to the topic), are completely unneccesary. With the resources and technology available in every home, it is down to us to find our own truths, our own information or even - music.

Still, shouldn't stop you from having a rant every now and then should it?
