DJ's??????

For my 15 year old sister to show me a video and then question the music industry, something must be up. I'm not going to mention the artist or give you a link to the video because that would be promoting what I think is an embarrassment to the many musicians, including myself, who's passion is music. What has the music industry come to? Understandably in this economy and the demise of the music industry there isn't much money to go around to promote new bands, etc. But a girl off of YouTube? Is everyone looking for the next Justin Bieber?

And it wasn't only my 15 year old sister that was astonished. What promoted me to write this blog is that my 46 year old father called me from his car after hearing it on XM radio. His exact words "What is this world coming too? I was switching stations and on Hits1 they were playing that song from ??".

All week long I've been watching YouTube videos of some pretty amazing bands coming out of SXSW and haven't heard one of them on the radio  - Where's the disconnect??
