So doomsday approaches again, huh?

The industry has been "dead" for as long as I can remember.

Radio killed the industry
Tapes killed the industry
Computers killed the industry
Home recording killed the industry

Are there more bands? yep. Most of them suck? yep. Most of them always did. 15-20 years ago I remember going to see a cool band, while the other 6 bands sucked. Today I see a cool band, the other 6 six suck.

so on and so on.

It's 2008, I have never seen so many cool artists. I have never been more busy with work. I am booked seven months out. All the cool stuff is just not spoon fed to me in the mainstream, but when was it?

All these artists are selling plenty of product. Millions? no, but plenty.

See this as the end of music, or the birth of music. You decide. It's not going to change. Your outlook will change and you will make great music.

Or let doomsday happen to you.
