In the day of hard-(not)-at-work, I blundered my way through the Cable News Network's entertainment site. There's an article about Rhino Records closing. (God Bless the Hollywood Reporter! Such quality news, almost like the Isthmus.) SO... there's this line from some psychologists in the ivory tower (in England) about how "music had 'Lost its aura,' and was now viewed as simply a commodity," from a recent study they did.
If this is the case, then it's a waste of time to try to write music that's not only enjoyable to listen to but also a step above the one hit wonder phenomenon. But that's mostly the world of Pop Music. And no one with any "Street Cred" really cares about that. Right? Street Credibility is a joke anyway. And yes, it as all about money, because artists want to be able to make a living as an artist and the leeches of the music industry who can't produce but know how to sell need money too. Anyway. Shyte. What is this useless entertainment anyway?
Bah!

I think it's all said right there on the link:
"It all came from New York."
That whole 24 podcast I was trying to put together for a few hours last night? Yep. Gone. Audacity does not like me. At all.
I'm starting up my radio show next week, same Bat Time, same Bat Station. Wanna come down? We can have fake phone conversations that the government can listen in on!
