jesus, i swear that sometimes i think music has just gotten worse and worse. with the advent of the $500 home recording set up and of course the ease at which to distribute the crap crappity crap on the internet, i find myself wondering when junior jammer hour will be over. not likely that it will happen anytime soon.i will say that of course there is the other side of the coin, and that is all the brilliant music i have felt tugging at my toes as i wade through the stink pool. some of those artists are: bonnie prince billy (aka will oldham). where was i while this dude was making great records? so glad i was turned onto him by a friend. jeff taylor. super freak from NYC. have had the priveledge to produce jeff's new record. see him, hear him, find him. do what you have to. this is future music.leah sigel. she keeps making amazing music. probably the next best thing to a 3 headed beast of billie holiday, judy garland and jeff buckly. do it.what else? hmm. new artists...unsigned artists...tell me, enlighten me.
