I agree pretty much with the Daily Beast writer's take on the mass media, and even most of the music publications. Zero information on "music", lots on the "Bieber-style" antics etc. I purchase very few music magazines anymore - even Bass Player has gotten shallow.
Rant On.
I think that is the nature of the capitalist beast - to exercise control over every bit of the product stream (including the media) to "market" your product. Feed the masses the pap they've been told they "want/need" and nothing else.
Rant Off
Guess I feel better now.
Elmeaux, I do appreciate the thought that you, in particular, put into your interviews/reviews. Your thoughtful descriptions of the "music" have lead me to explore new artists - and that is what it is all about! Thanks lady!!!
