Hurrah. That is all. A conversation about current popular music took off on Facebook about it’s merits or lack of same.

Much of the music I listen too and still love is 50 years or more old. (prog, jazz classical and folk in my case). A friend of mine who is ten years older than me raved about a youngish performer who is a big star. So I tried listening to a few songs\u00a0and it did nothing for me at all. the lyrics were Ok but anything approaching a memorable melody was not there in most of the songs. A lot of the old recordings I love to hear are not technically anywhere near the “digital perfection” possible now too. Is it just part nostalgia? Perhaps. There are good young new bands creating in all sorts of genres out there, but they don’t seem to get in to the public gase. There were always gatekeepers A&R people and so forth. Now almost everybody can for good or ill self publish their work and make it available, but whilst that is very democratic I do wonder how many works of genius are out there that most of us will never get to hear. So those of you that can get out and support your local bands, particularly if you find you really like and buy the merch if they have it. At the end of the day though you can’t make people like stuff if its not to their taste though you can try and expose them to stuff that tickles your fancy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
