| I completely agree with not_so_new because I used to wonder when "the next big thing" was going to hit for years now. I don't think about it anymore and instead just listen for music that I connect with or has a interesting way of using emotion or lyrics. Today, it seems like its all about which old sound/style to mix into your band to make it new enough for the current generation, who usually never listened to the original artists that did this kind of music 10-20-30 years ago. The only problem is that these "waves" of new bands remain interesting for kids for shorter and shorter periods of time. It's this downward spiral effect. When does it end?
Depressing as that is, I still enjoy playing music with my band everyday and making up "new" songs. Recording the stuff lets me create a kind of new world for me to dive into and lose myself in until the song is over. This is the beauty of recording for me. |
