That’s an interesting fact that I’ve never thought of before, but you’re absolutely correct. Seven years ago I had to buy a CD hoping the rest of the tracks were as good as the single, but today, I refuse to buy an album without streaming all of the tracks first.
You’re also right about other people’s opinion’s. The internet makes it possible to build a fan base without even having a single released or radio play. At over half of the concerts I’ve been to, the band with one song released on the radio has opened up for the smaller band, simply because of the loyalty levels. The artists that rely on a single getting played on the radio to be successful are in for a rude awakening. Most frequent hit-station-radio listeners I’ve known forget about that single a month later, leaving the band with a one-hit wonder reputation. The internet has made it possible to pick out those wonders from the true talent.

I’ve written a blog on how the Internet has affected the music industry for a school project, and I would really appreciate it anyone reading this would check it out and leave some feedback. Thank you.

Um … don’t you have that backwards? wouldn’t evolution favour the less-white eyes BECAUSE their intentions (eg towards mating?) would be less transparent thus gaining a Natural Selection advantage? Just a thought.

I’ve heard it elsewhere said that what “pop-music” proved, much to the chagrin of those who believe there is a Correct and an Incorrect way to make music, is that the music didn’t matter much. Tune in Peter Sellers ‘reciting’ “She Loves You” and compare that to anything by Keats; what people buy are experiences and tribal identities, of which one possible tribe is Those Who Know A Thing Or Two About Bogus But Complex ‘Rules’ of Harmony; there’s a rule in conspiracy-hunting that says “Never attribute to malice what could be explained by incompetence” and I think you’ll find the “record biz” the post-war unit-sales machine targetting the pocket-change of an unprecidented adolescence divested of all cultural connection to their own history (shattered by WWII) and all they did was to optimize the sales equations.

So today you have this whole Myth of “building honest relationships” and befriending your audience, but I’ll tell you this: There aren’t many artists out there who’d lend $50 to a fan in need. The BS is still there, maybe stronger than ever, but that’s ok because that doesn’t matter, we already know our tribal priests are liars, but we know they do it for our own enjoyment and so we forgive them and love them for it, and remember them all the rest of our days.
