Re: Clueless... I'll never see it in my lifetime, but how nice would it be for every artist to have the ability to avoid the record company altogether, and sell all their music/songs directly through their own individual website.
May be there will come a day when a "Record Company" isn't needed for product placement and distribution.

| Crazyjeff that will never happen, unfortunately. Record companies and radio are linked hand in hand. Bands need record co.'s to push there music to the stations. Besides that you need fat wallets to get quality studios and producers. |

I haven't done that in almost 5 years; I stopped around the time people thought Creed had more than one song and that Fred Durst was innovative.

Agreed, it's been years since I've listened to the radio. I literally never would have heard of 95% of the bands I listen to if it weren't for P2P. |

Radio? Is that the thing in my car that I plug my iPod into? 
It's been almost 10 years since I've listened to the radio for music. I stopped listening when they stopped playing music. It was first replaced by the CD changer then the iPod. $1.50 for top 40 crap is way too much. RIAA (and the MPAA) and the rest of the music industry needs a reality check. |

I stopped listening when the last station that I listened to got converted to a Spanish-language station.
Whatever. I don't see myself paying to listen to the radio (i.e., XM or Sirius), either.
The only good radio left (music-wise) are the small, privately-owned stations and some college radio stations.

Guys, WHFS died when Infinity bought it and changed it around. It lost its edge and went corporate. When they converted it, it ranked 23rd. It died a slow death. |

Same thing happened here in LA. 103.1 was bought out and turned into yet another Spanish station. Now if I forget to bring a good MP3 CD or MD, I just go without music. The radio is useless. |
