Remember shopping in record stores...
The lost art of record shopping

Sunday, April 08, 2007
On a recent trip to Georgia, I spent about an hour in the record shop where Michael Stipe met Peter Buck in 1979, beginning a friendship that led to the creation of R.E.M.
That's the kind of name drop that 15 or 20 years ago might have triggered a response along the lines of: "You were at Wuxtry Records in Athens?!"
Today, the more likely reaction would be: "They still have record stores somewhere?!"
Baby boomers left behind plenty of embarrassing artifacts in our long-ago youth – butterfly bowties, AMC Gremlins, plaid everything – but we knew how to celebrate, worship and respect the almighty album.
Record stores weren't just places to spend paper route money. They were practically houses of worship – incense hitting you as you walked through the doors, black-light posters framed like stained-glass windows, the holy soundtrack of our generation on a turntable, always spinning near the cash register.

The remarkable sales figure also is evidence that Apple has, in just a few short years, played a major role in transforming a fringe technology into a mainstream phenomenon — spawning massive ripple effects in both the music and technology industries.
What’s more, analysts say, Apple’s more recent forays into selling movies and TV shows — and, soon, its own cell phone — could be poised to transform those industries as well.

Save Internet Radio!
Another useful article related to Radio Memeworks about the propsed rate changes affecting internet radio and how to save it.
A good article from my streaming provider, Live365.com about the propsed rate changes for internet streaming radio stations. If passed this will effectively kill internet radio as we know it, turning it into yet another media outlet controlled by the few who care little about choice or niche genre's or even good music for that matter.
That means Radio Memeworks as well could be shut down due to costs I cannot afford and Clear Channel isn't even paying. It's patently unfair and designed to shut down choice.
Due to pressure from the RIAA, Live365.com instituted major changes in the last year to make sure artists are getting paid the correct royalties. No more no name tracks on stations or stations broadcasting one artist. They care, and I certainly do about providing credit where it is due.
The music business's predatory attacks on the wave of the future, internet music/radio/downloading/podcasts, reminds me of the hollering and shouting over cassettes, VHS & BETA, CD's...etc. It's the same old, same old.
Face it the business model is changing. The major labels are slumping, independent artists are thriving with the new technology. Few of them are getting rich, but the playing field is more level after the last 15 or so years of total crap immersion in music (Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake, Brittiney, Kenny G and soft pablum of that ilk.)
What's truely great about Live365.com is the level of choice. Satellite is nice, but can you tune into nothing but Jazz from the 20's & 30's, or the Psychedelic sounds of the 60's, or Japanese pop music, or a classical station devoted entirely to modern composers, or fusion of the 70's, or downtempo of the 90's & 00's? Or how about a station that plays a little of all of that and more?
That's what's at stake beyond my own little slice of musical heaven.
Music is far too important to be left to the beancounters to deicide what you should hear.
I consider it an act of war on human consciousness.
The dark ages lurk right outside the light in the shadows waiting...Go to sleep, watch American Idol, shop till you drop, move along...there's nothing to see here!

Rock & Roll Love Letter: Sucking in the 70's
An interesting article that points out just what is wrong with the music business today. Granted I don't agree much with her musical choices, but the larger point she is making is valid.
The major record labels have laid a lot of the blame on illegal downloading, and they are surely on to something. I don’t want to argue them on that. I don’t even want to bash them. (It’s no fun anymore!)
Instead, I want to listen to Casey Kasem’s American Top 40. You can hear it every weekend on XM Satellite Radio. They broadcast vintage episodes, without commercials. It’s a fine way to spend a Saturday morning.
And for anyone who’s been wondering, What the fudge has happened to music? the show is also shocking. Stunning. Sobering and intoxicating at the same time. If you think pop music is bad today, you will positively weep blood when you hear what used to pass for bad.
Consider the episode they played a couple weeks ago — on March 10, I believe. It was the same episode aired exactly 29 years ago, in 1978. Just a random week in a random month, in a year not particularly remembered for great pop — and an era that was long derided for supposedly sucking.
Music today should suck so good. To wit (insert Kasem’s voice here): “On AT 40 this week, here’s the record that takes the biggest drop. It moves all the way from No. 11 down to No. 26! It’s Queen, and ‘We Are the Champions.’”
Real sucky, right? It’s only Queen. It’s just fucking “We Are the Fucking Champions,” falling to No. 26...read more here
Sucking in the '70s
How deep is your love?

As you’ve heard, the record industry as we know it is dying. And it’s even worse than it looked a few months ago. CD sales are down 20 percent from last year. Based on the inverse relationship between record sales and gas prices, I can only conclude America’s oil refineries are secretly owned by a cabal of record executives desperate to recover their losses on Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy.The major record labels have laid a lot of the blame on illegal downloading, and they are surely on to something.
