hi all
!!Rant Warning!!
so I'm new to this whole AJ scene (less than a year) and I'm sitting here
comtemplating what the future holds for AJ. I've been in search of new and
exciting musical frontiers and finding out about AJ/AJ-related material was
a god send. I'm aware that what I was searching for has been out there for
quite awhile, but it took help from good (musically educated) friends to
find it. So keeping in mind that AJ (whatever that may be) has been out
there for 10, 15, 20 (!?) years I'm wondering where all of this is going.
It is evident by all of the commercial trk id posts that AJ, dnb, ect is out
there all around us. It's in the intro's and outros's of tv/radio shows,
but the same radio/tv stations never put anything of AJ, underground, dnb
substance on as the feature. So I guess the question is: Why hasen't the
rest of the world caught on? Or better yet do we even want them to? Do the
big labels look for junk to push on the masses or do they turn what might
have had potential to be good in to junk? And furthermore would the masses
REALLY be interested and appreciative of all the artists that keep us
moovin' ? I'm not sure how much credit to give or not to give to the
people.
Now I realize that this is the opinion of and American and what goes on in
europe may be totally different. I also *don't really* mind searching out
artists, being apart of the list, word of mouth type stuff. So I guess I'm
just trying get an idea of what the future is and if AJ (and the kids who
support it) will ever really get the respect of the masses or will it keep
on chillin the way it has been for quite awhile now.
Anyway this is all the result of a lazy monday off....so
cheers
joni
