I can completely relate to this blog because I rarely find myself participating in things that are "mainstream". With maybe the exception of The Office!
Particularly in the music realm, I like what Michael Robertson of MP3.com had accomplished with his website. By singling out artists and directing their tracks to the listener, a new age of music has been born. I can relate to this because as a small time recording artist I don't have a record label or someone to mainline me! It is pioneers like Michael Robertson that bring the talent out from the shadows.
A lot of highly qualified musicians are out there, completely unknown because they aren't marketed by some label, and don't specialize in marketing for themselves.
I could go on! The way that the internet and search options are bringing new things to the surface is really changing the way I find new interests and manifest my new experiences.. Heck, it has already greatly diversified my itunes!!!
Diversity of music is a good thing! It's great more musicians can actually make a living rather than a hobby out their passion for their art.

ReplyDeleteJust having listened to your music today really brought home what a person can do with the technology of today. How completely freeing for anyone to be able to create something and get it out there without huge cost and headache. Hope you get to enjoy it all your days!
