A diseased industry (part 1)

For the last few weeks I have really pondered about the state of the music industry. Last year I posted a blog about it with the hope that we would be bounce back. Unfortunately, the music industry has continued its downward spiral just as the economy has. http://ping.fm/FTa9L

I have looked at every aspect of the industry from the execs and tastemakers, to the producers, the artists, the DJs, the radio stations...I have analyzed it all and came to the conclusion that the industry is diseased. The industry is suffering from convulution; an illness that is caused by an overdose of yes-men, favors and dissolution.

I am thoroughly convinced that we need to get back to basics and that is making music...real music; classic music. Music has followed fashio and become trendy. It is no longer about be creative and innovative...it is about giving the world what is in. What happened?

Now one would argue that music and fashion go hand-in-hand. I wouldn't completely agree, but I can understand the argument. Music has ties to fashion, music should not be treated or chosen on same basis or criteria as fashion.

Music should judged on creativity, innovation, quality and message. A lot of great music is overlooked because it is does not fit the trend and it is very unfortunate.

Stay tuned for more...part to coming soon!
