I disagree, i think the PROBLEM is there is no FILLER.

I dont know maybe its that because of the internet there is an overwhelming amount of music to choose from.

before the net, you basicly were a slave to radio, maybe underground stations, but, there wasnt 10,000 artists listed under 10,000 categories, on thousands of music sites, in hundreds of countries.

And nobody could afford to buy all of that, and wouldnt want to.

So maybe full albums will help the bigs keep making money,m but the indie will always NOT sell music. Its too expensive.

Maybe a unified streaming system is the answer, iowno.

You might have a point about the selection thanks to the internet. Going from the radio which was limited to the internet where selection is endless.

Spice Girls debut album Spice sold 30 million copies. Much of the cd had very forgetable songs. I'd say the only good ones were Wannabe, Say You'll be There, 2 Become 1 and Mama. That is out of 10.' Most albums were like that in the 90s:'
I wonder how well it would do if it were released in this decade. Probably not that well. Digital sales would do well though.

yeah, it makes us think we have so much control and the power to reach unlimited people, technically we do, but so does every stinking person in the world! And everyone else are there to ignore us every day.

The bigger the net gets, the smaller we get.

Indeed. You can take a contrary POV (indiana gay marriage spat for example) come out in public to say that you wouldn't serve pizza at a gay wedding, get hated on, claim you're losing money, set up a gofundme campaign and people all over the country sends you 840,000 dollars in 2 days. That is the power of the internet. On the other hand, the internet can crush you if you [naughty word removed] up so publicly.
In reality the internet is just a bunch of dumbass humans behind a screen. Group think. Mob mentality.

I dont know, when it comes to money, regardless of the technology people do not want to part with it. That's why I find it funny when people think they can go on kickstarter or wherever and just draw in money.

I knew kids in school who would never buy anything, theyd wait till somebody offered to copy it for them, or else they just lived without it.

I dont think the internet creates buyers, it creates plenty of sellers though!

That's what government money is for. Why would you spend your own when the government through its many programs gives you money to put back into the economy? Stimulus. Cha ching.

Charlie:

Your initial post was
"I love this gal. I dont know how old she is but she kicks Taylor Swifts behind. She writes better, sings better, and even cuter."
Then you posted all kinds of details about her.

Which leads me to believe that you're not like most people here who love music or songwriting, I get the impression your job is to promote her online & stir up controversy. If she's really great why drag Swift into the discussion?

Oh No, He knows!

Did anybody take Basic Logic in college? I did, what a waste...I thought

I suppose Marc and Kurt are buying yachts and throwing wild parties with all the money they are raking in on this here promotion!

Cut that out guys, lets promote Rascal Flatts or somebody who could use a listen.

This Rasmussen character i tell ya. I think their was a MLB pitcher named Andy Rasmussen, if Im not mistaken.

Ok Ande, Im Jess Penners manager, she actually cant write, you are WAY better than her.

Were all just trying to make a buck on this site, and it works so well!

Is there no end to the hilarity?

SURE BARRY! Nice marketing ploy

I'm on here to market Kacey Musgraves. She's the next big thing. Look at her awards. She don't need number ones. She's rolling in the gold.

But before the awards, she sucked? And wasnt worth listening to and trying to emulate?

And Colin is clearly getting kickbacks from his home town for this

I mean, Im caught, I have no defense.

This was her first album but before that she did write a number 1 song for miranda lambert that won awards.

Musgraves was 7th place on Nashville Star season 5.

She must be the most successful contestant of any music competition in the world to ever finish that far back in the show.

Dude, she writes just as well if not better than Taylor Swift.

You cant learn popularity unfortuantely. Ms Swift has the X factor, but I wont call that great songwriting or artistry.

Shes more like a socialite. A likeable face, who CAN write a pretty good song, and with the help of some of the top people in the industry, make great records.

So could alot of people though.

I just find it odd/funny how many people get angry, And old people who dont even buy or even listen to her music.

Musgraves is a much better writer than Taylor.

Musgraves does it all. I'd love to see Taylor try to write a song with humour.

Won't happen.

Wait a minute now, I was beleving you for a minute there, but you are not interesting in songwriting, you are here to promote Kacey Musgraves

Think were stewpid or something?

I used to just want to write with brad paisley but now I want to co write with paisley and musgraves AT THE SAME TIME!

Can you imagine what shenanigans the three of us could find ourselves in lyrically? I don't think the world could handle that. Sarcasm and humour overload.

nah better scratch that comment.

Is that sarcasm? You're being sarcastic

Dont know how you could assume that, you obviously didn't see what I wrote, it was a joke about two women.

I find the hwy patrol in here hilarious. Some imaginary infiltration of some imaginary pot of gold.

Anyway, Off to bed, need to start recording too
