Genius or the sad state of music today? YouTube - Rebecca Black - Friday (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
EDIT to UPDATE: As of this posting, the video has been viewed just about 117 MILLION times and, so far, has peaked at #13 on the iTunes Top 100 Chart. I haven't checked in a while but it's still on the iTunes Chart... http://www.apple.com/itunes/charts/songs/

"Yesterday was Thursday
Today is Friday
We We We so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today
Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes afterwords..."
I hope the next single deals with the complexity of months of the year.

I know people always say that the music industry's always been crap, but come on, look a Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, I may not be a fan of some of these bands, but I think they have all been considered fairly mainstream, but they built their careers on being different. I dare anyone to name a band that came out in the past 10 years that has come close to touching any one of these bands. Double dog dare ya.

The good news is that we don't have to eat what the industry feeds us anymore. The bad news, in a sense, is that a listener has to sift through a lot more music to find what they want. |

They just don't hit the radio that often--aside from, say, Queens of the Stone Age. |

The trouble is, any given musician will have trouble selling more than a thousand copies of anything absent some Bieber-esque viral anomaly, and very few will be able to make a living at it without some new revenue channel emerging. I'm not sure what is going to happen. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
