So Today I was driving to visit friends in Wisconsin for the
weekend and well I was listening to my music. I know many are unfamiliar with
some of the stuff I listen to, however today I have never seen such horrible
distaste in someone's face for the split 30 seconds it took to stare him down
then continue driving… It made me think about all my music on the drive there….
Then it got me thinking…
Recently a lot of music has been showing up on my social feeds. Now I get a lot of music on my feeds for just about everything that I use but the biggest thing that stuck out to me is just how different it is from the things that I listen to on everyday radio. We have access to oodles of more music from around the world and yet I hear the same top 20 sounds every hour on the hour on the flipping radio. I mean for real? I hear rock bands that turn their music into almost full-fledged musical songs with harmonies that are repeated throughout the album, a three person folk group that will have each instrument reverberating throughout the room they are playing in and it isn’t even a full drum set or electric bass guitar, or even songs that are not lyrically orientated but are definitely not classically based. It's so interesting that even with the access to things around the world via a small albeit powerful box, that most top 20 songs are on repeat for the biggest/ common radio stations. Introducing new things is beneficial. Not everything you're going to like so simply listen and accept that it is playing.
