That's cool. I like that way of looking at it. If people can't hear the music because it's just poorly recorded, for any reason whatsoever in the process, then it's a screw up.
"maybe they're more engaged with creating things and satisfying themselves than trying to impress a bunch of jerkoffs in suits."
I agree. And it goes with this:
"When could anyone NOT be heard if they put their mind to being heard?"
Unfortunately, those jerk offs in suits, with the bottom line as their guru, often succeeded in promoting music that was terrible, and ignoring music that was great. Thank goodness the internet is helping to break up music "businesses" that have done at least as much harm as good. Sure there's a lot of music on the internet that sounds bad. But there's also some smoking stuff. The hard part is figuring out how we're all going to get paid! Intellectual property is taking a beating right now.
"I keep forgetting that today everybody just clicks around myspace for ten hours a day and finds a song they like every week or so..."
That may be true for a few people. But most of the people I know don't have time to sit in front of a computer for very long. I'm talking about all ages of people - teens, twenties, thirties, whatever. They know how to get around the internet pretty quick, and get a few songs they like downloaded and transferred to their mp3 players, or burned onto CDs.
