It seems to me that so called "classical" pop culture, pop business, pop mysterium is comin downhill. Money is streaming away, videos are cheaper and cheaper and no great LPs are released last 5 years. Talented persons are not ineterested in.
It`s not only about music.
Internet is killing big pop business. Small pop business remains , of course, amateur makers too and that`s all doesn`t exactly mean that artistic qualities are gettin worse, but...

Margus, the last 5 years of music have been much more exciting to me than the 5 years before that. I'm not sure what you mean about cheap videos.

Times change and they will change again. Five years ago they said rock was dead and now punk and metal are both riding high in the charts.

Maybe I was too radical, specially with this "no great LPs are released last 5 years" statement. October is miserable time in Estonia, yo know.:P But I really think that times of rock as big business are over.

I'm aware much of this has been covered on ILM before, but nevertheless, there's no harm in talking about it again, especially as things keep evolving and becoming clearer. It's true that the music industry is all sealed up along with TV and radio. On the positive side, the internet is great for underground acts. It seems to have replaced the international tape exchange. It's small cookies and there's no money in it for little bands, but in terms of exposure, it's great.
