New music....and radio

New music....I get new music from friends, from random links from Youtube videos....and from podcasts like BBC Oxford Introducing...

I'm not the most savvy person when it comes to finding new music...but I think....everyone wants a new band to sink their teeth into....new music is like finding a great secret, you're not too sure if you'd like to share it with everyone or keep it to yourself.....but sooner or later....you gotta let the cat out of the bag.

New music is the life blood of the music industry, but still....the veterans are the ones we all look up to set standards, break the rules and keep us guessing, many years later.....then some new band comes along and freaks the crap out of everyone....and the rules get changed again....and we have new music.....

I just wish mainstream radio could be more positive and proactive in breaking new bands....rather than just playing it safe....

anyways....wishful thinking....but I know in years past...radio was king in setting trends....now they're just happy to earn money on replays.....

Behind the scenes though, this new music probable took years, even decades to reach a wide listening audience....so it's not really new.....but it is fresh....and we need it to sustain our ears....
