I was doing some web surfing earlier today and I came across a yahoo answers post in which the OP asked this question.

“Are people serious when they say there is no good music anymore?”

Naturally I have a few different aspects on this subject. Part of me says yes, there is no good music anymore….within the confines of modern media corporations  there is no good music. I mean why do they cram this God awful music down our throats?

For example *ahem*

The Jonas Brothers.

Fergie

Slipknot

Five Finger Death Punch

Papa Roach

Disturbed’

Kanye West

…Well you get the Idea and please note that I pulled these from four different top 40 or top 100 charts.

So I can see how someone can definitely be horribly mislead and have a jaded view on the current state of affairs in the music industry.

To quote the band NOFX (masters of D.I.Y. )

“We want music created from devotion, not ambition, not for fame”

When did music become a fashion statement? Half of the most “popular” bands sound the way they do because their music is so over-produced that they sound nothing like it when they play live….(with the exception of Coldplay I never cared for them, but I respect that they sound spot on for whatever goes on their albums) but hey at least they look good right?
Here comes the part that really kills me. Most everyone I know hates music on the TV or radio….and I know that most of you either share the same opinion or at least you know somebody that does. So I ask with all of these people not liking the current state of major label music WHY ARE THESE BANDS STILL GETTING AIR TIME AND GETTING ON THE TOP 40 LIST!? And I answer: because they give us no choice. You can either be like me and not have anything to do with music on radio and TV (and I don’t expect that from anybody, it’s just what I do) or they take option 2 and that is simply choosing the lesser of two evils.

it makes me sick.

and now I’m getting very tired so i will post my opposing argument to the “why do people think there is no good music” question on the morrow or possibly later this evening.

and of course here is your scoop for today.

His name is Josh Hedlund I met him in Sandpoint ID when I did open mic over there. He’s an amazing lyricist and I know the sync on the video is terrible so just don’t watch it, and listen to the song.

HUGS FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!
