I decided to start this on whim because I've grown tired of America's lack of quality music being played on radio stations or t.v. Music currently being mass-produced and widely circulated is no representation of the amount of talent that is still out there, struggling to find enough popularity to keep going. Luckily with natural online marketing (YouTube? MySpace?), more and more people are discovering bands and musicians that deserve to be famous. These are not the acts you see on t.v., lip-synching to a recording that barely had their original voices to begin with. This is true singing, true playing, and true talent. These days, it's hard to come by musicians who have the right combination of mass-production feel and musical skill, so many who have only the latter are pretty much screwed when it comes to getting popular recognition. Because of this increasing phenomenon, lots of truly musical fans end up digging, searching far and wide for obscure sounds that really are worth listening to. Others reminisce of previous times of music glory and stick with tracks from then. Still, there are many of us who really don't have the time or patience to not be introduced to music that is real music, and that's what this blog is for.
Every week, an artist, song, or album will be introduced that I believe is worth listening to because it is NOT crap. They will span many genres because good music should not be defined by style. Any type of music can be great. Some music will be to chill out to, others will be to work out to. I will admit, there is some manufactured music out there that although overproduced, is still quite decent. Our generation does not need to be defined by past musical greats or current performing faces that lack that same greatness. Here, we will see that good music still exists these days. Somewhere.
