A Conversation for Talking Point: Is the Digital Age Lowering the Cultural Value of Music?

The way forward i see is a step into the past,the pre recording era bands made thier money by touring and playing concerts.
today if bands gave away thier music on t'interweb as a taster and toured smaller venues in smaller towns, e.g. church halls etc. we would see the end of the big corporations and labels and see an actual renaissance of people going to gigs regurlaly, and not just the huge festivals where there are so many band and so many stages you pay a fortune for a ticket and can only physically see a third of whats on.
i think i may be burrbling here
cheers

Dude, I think you're drunk! (as am I)
The business model of the music industry is changing and, yes, live performance seems to be the way that bands will earn their keep. I think this is a good thing.

I've given away loads of music.
It can be extremely depressing and demoralising, especially when your hear some of the rubbish they churn out on Radio 1 these days

My folks stopped listening to Radio 2 at roughly the same time I started listening to Radio 2. How odd.

I've always listened to Radio 2. My mother used to listen to Jimmy Young and my father listened to Garner Ted Armstrong. No doubt this is helping with my brother's publicity stunt even more.

people used to make records
as in a record of an event
the event of people playing music in a room
now everything is cross-marketing
its about sunglasses and shoes
or guns and drugs

Garner Ted Armstrong was the ranting religious loony-tune who rented Radio Luxembourg's 208 frequency to broadcast hell and brimstone sermons to the UK (immediately before transmission commenced at 7:45pm CET). Because he was an american televangelist, he was persistetly refused permission to use British radio or TV.

As I grew older, I often wondered why he listened to him...perhaps that was the reason
