An interesting article from ArsTechnica outlines a new report that suggests the easy availability of music is causing a general apathy towards music. From the report:
QUOTE "The accessibility of music has meant that it is taken for granted and does not require a deep emotional commitment once associated with music appreciation," said music psychologist Adrian North. … "The degree of accessibility and choice has arguably led to a rather passive attitude towards music heard in everyday life. In short, our relationship to music in everyday life may well be complex and sophisticated, but it is not necessarily characterized by deep emotional investment." More is available here: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060110-5941.html What do you think—are consumers more apathetic towards music than they used to be? |

Sometimes, live isn't even as good as recorded. Except for the fact that you actually get to see them in person. But most times they sound like sh*t.
