Is Old Music Killing New Music?
I ran across this Atlantic magazine article on another music forum. It asks the question if old music is killing new music. I didn't realize that older music represents 70% of the music market according to this article. I know I use Qobuz and Tidal to find new music and new artists for my collection, but I don't know how common that actually is for most people. I think that a lot of people that listen to services like Spotify and Apple Music probably don't keep track of what the algorithms are queuing up in their playlists. Perhaps it's all becoming elevator music.
@lloydc - yes, it sure is, because RHYTHM is part of music, too. Unless you wish to discount a great deal of jazz and contemporary classical as well to be 'not music' because you can't hum it or whistle it. I really enjoyed that half-time show! 😁 |
Hello @femoore12 Gary performed at the Harrah’s Resort & Casino, Valley Center Ca. back in 2019 and was literally a stone’s throw away from where I live. Turned out to be more then a Trifecta. Someone who’s been on my list of top musicians whom I’ve waited patiently, small venue, new album tour "This Land" released earlier in the year, traveled blue highways to / from event, and last but not least ... huge fan. Besides, I thought it would compliment your throwing down of Leon Bridges ;-) Gotta love Howard and the no censorship. Perfect example is Gary’s performance of This Land when they were promoting the Bands new album. The 4 Track "The Bright Lights EP" is well recorded, highly recommended and Things Are Changin’, When My Train Pulls are Live/Solo acoustic. Side note: the album of first choice when my SR Purple’s arrived. Peace
