Where is the innovation? Where are the up and coming bands that no-one has heard of? Music channels are no worse IMHO than any other channel on TV - all channels are plagued by endless reruns, advertising, second rate films, cheap documentaries, even cheaper quiz-shows - I mean come on, lets try to get some imagination on the box instead of sitting in front of the glowing screen while our brains disintegrate and our creativity is stunted....
Amen and Bravo!
If only the underground music scene could actually surface...corporate profiteering would get washed out of the picture.
I was listening to ZROCK the day (and minute) it got pulled off the air (LOL an Awwww all in one breath
)...Alice in Chains was old news in my library by the time they made corporate airplay and my son had Greenday CD's a full year before the local radio stations had even heard of them.
I haven't found any underground connections since I have been in Texas, but if I do, I'll keep you all tuned in to what's going on and where the real varieties in your tastes can be found.
Maybe we can find something on the net?!
