Is the (un)intentional part that the radio industry plays in this whole debacle...
When I grew up, you would be lucky to hear a song twice in one day on the radio, now here in aus we have (had)(I stopped listening) "no repeat tuesdays" (gee lucky us, we are so priveledged) and radio stations (who shall remain nameless) that take the 'Nova'lty out of listening by repeating their play list on the hour every hour...
Now excuse me, but when i'm at work for 7.x hours and hear a song 7 times in a day, and again the next day, ad nauseum, I'm not brainwashed into buying it, I'm more inclined to throw the radio out of the 20 story building I work in, if I could get the damn windows open...
Radio once provided a 'teaser' for new music, a teaser that caused me to want to know more about the ones making the music..
Now when i hear a song 50 times in a week on the radio, i think, 'must be like Waterworld', all hype, no glory and I'll end up drowning in my own tears...
The music industry owes me nothing, and I nothing to it...
Downloading is my research and I buy what i like, I just like a lot less than I used to because I'm not interested in yet another 'Dawgs' gold and grandstanding, or some chicks 'i got dumped coz I'm a cow and don't know it' miseries...
Beg yours record companies, but i hope you choke on your hippin and a hoppin... Do you even understand the qualities of musical entertainment anymore?! Sorry, silly question...
