Deep Down, I Know I Have This

What's Been Missing From Digital Music Sales Has Been The Possibility Of Added Depth. In A Printed Package One Can Only Include So Many Images And So Much Text - For Example - But Digitally It's Wide Open. For The Most Part At The Moment We Get Less Information For Slightly Less Money - Though We Could Be Getting A Lot More.

Often I Don't Know What The Song Means Until It's Finished. Sometimes Months Later. I Don't Think That's Bad. It Implies That I Don't Know What I'm Doing But-i Think If You're Able To Follow Your Instincts, Then That's Knowing What You're Doing.

Ninety Percent Of All Music Is Always Crap, And When Too Many People Decide They're Going To Have Guitar Bands, Then Ninety Percent Of Them Are Going To Be Crap. It's Just A Given Law.

Technology Has Altered The Way Music Sounds, How It’s Composed And How We Experience It. It Has Also Flooded The World With Music. The World Is Awash With (mostly) Recorded Sounds. We Used To Have To Pay For Music Or Make It Ourselves; Playing, Hearing And Experiencing It Was Exceptional, A Rare And Special Experience. Now Hearing It Is Ubiquitous, And Silence Is The Rarity That We Pay For And Savor.

I'm Not Suggesting People Abandon Musical Instruments And Start Playing Their Cars And Apartments, But I Do Think The Reign Of Music As A Commodity Made Only By Professionals Might Be Winding Down.
