Why Music Never Sleeps?

Well when you think about it, this very instant music is being performed, recorded, reviewed, written, scored, played and even destroyed by someone in a karaoke bar and it will always be that way. Too often people like to say that their mp3 player holds the soundtrack to their lives. As much as I hate that saying (I’m still not sure why it bothers me) but in a way it’s true. Music is a trigger for ones memories both good and bad. Music goes with us in all facets of our lives. Music brings people together and pushes them apart. Music is used in the church as a form of worship or by a government introducing a head of state. Our favorite TV shows have themes; products are sold by some of the most annoying forms of music around. It can be invasive and obnoxious or subtle and covert. We give music as a gift (my favorite form would still be the mix tape). We celebrate our happiness with it and mourn our losses with it.

I still believe the one thing that music does best is to relate to the listener.

Now I can’t possibly expect to give you all of that from an online discussion but I hope myself and the collection of obsessed music people I have met in my bizarre life and convinced to share their inner ramblings will at least add to the discussion and maybe help connect people to music they didn’t know about.

Please note that I didn’t say new music. Now don’t get me wrong we will be talking a lot about new music but there’s a large amount of music that has been buried, missed, underrated and thrown into the clearance racks of life. We will definitely be talking about that music too.

We will also be talking to people making the music: artists, producers, song writers and engineers. As well as the purveyors of music: club DJs, radio personalities, music store owners, venue owners and anyone else that has anything to do with music.

No boundaries, no genres, no clicks (unless it’s the subtle clicks on a wonderful piece of vinyl) and no formats. Forget the class structure that we all know too well and just listen to music.
