Subject: Survey time...
Hello! For fun, I'm conducting a sort of survey to find out what people want to hear more of. With all of the new styles of music, many people seem to think that genuine music has been replaced with looped samples and a cookie-cutter method of songwriting. Do you agree? Does music seem plastic these days? Is it better to hear music that is imperfect, but has that inspired 'real' energy?
Is 'perfect' boring?
What about some of the older styles ~ the 'roots' of what we listen to now… would you like to hear more of the heartfelt influences of yesterday married with the slick recording technology of today? Tell me what, if anything, is missing in the music you hear now. Tell me if, in your restless search for something with substance, you have happened across a little-known gem ~ a diamond in the rough whose music sings from the heart, not from the corrupting lust for $$$.
