New

Periodically we will be making a mix tape of some of the songs we like. This tape features 5 new songs and one old song that came up on a road trip recently.

First we have Bowling Green, Kentucky’s Cage The Elephant and a song called “Back Against the Wall” from the CD Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked. Then the lastest from MUSE. whatever you do don’t call them “THE” Muse some guy tore me a new one for that slip up on the radio a few years back. People really get up in arms over some of the silliest things and to think he found it so offensive that he called my boss at the time and said I should be fired for such an assault on his favorite band. The new Muse CD is in stores as of this past Tuesday and is called The Resistance. Next is JET followed by the second single from the lastest Depeche Mode album. And finally a Fine Young Cannibals song from before they had a hit “Johnny Come Home” . Enjoy.

Let us know what you think.

Muse-Uprising

Depeche Mode-Perfect
Wolfmother-New Moon Rising
Fine Young Cannibals-Johnny Come Home

For the longest time radio was the only source for new music.

It was the only way you found out about new albums from your favorite artists or to discover new music from new sources. We still obviously discover new music this way but it’s not the only way.

Radio lives in the world of advertising so it is bound to playing familiar music to keep people listening for extended periods of time. Sprinkled in with the hits you will still find new music (on some stations). Keep in mind that the average station plays 10-12 songs an hour and among those songs 2-3 are considered new.

So where do we discover new music?

I for example am still too close to radio and friends I have made over the years in the music industry so I can’t answer that.

Most people have thousands of songs on their iPod. Of those many are your favorite artists. But what we want to know is when you put a new artist in your library where did you learn about that artist.
