Picks of the weekend..

I know many people out there still didn't realized what is going on.. I know there are many questions that need to be ascertained and many gaps that need to be filled to establish “market stead-state”. History tells us that many said it loud that radio would kill musicians, that movies would destroy theater arts, that digital music would put an end on CD which was once supposed to exterminate vinyl. Have any of these things really happened?

Ok, now let’s check the news! These are the gems picked this Saturday:

At first, BIRD NAM NAM’s self titled debut!

If you’ve been following this blog or checked the old posts, you might know this album. One question for the PhDs standing: Would I ever have bought it if I didn’t know it??

On the other hand, If that girl who was taking care of that “store” during lunchtime knew it too, she wouldn’t have dealt it for about only 5 dollars. Anyway, that’s what ones would call market opportunity or bargaining..

Only 5 dollars… For another amount like that I could also get a good compilation from Smashing Pumpkins. It’s called “Zero” and it seems to be a kind of bootleg but I will check that further. Some greatest SP tracks inside: “1979”, “Disarm”, “Tonight, tonight”, “Bullet with butterfly wings” amongst some others. Take a look!

While blind by the faith that internet will crash the music, some people can’t look to the fact that we need to think the whole thing in a different manner in which the market is REALLY fair. Primarily, it needs to be fair for the costumers who need to know what they are throwing in their shop-bags and who have to pay an affordable price.

On the other side, it needs to be fair for the artists who create music and must be rewarded by their value (sales, shows, donations and merchandise). However, the major questions seems to be involved with those between the artists and costumers who want to win from both sides.

Remember, artists and costumers will always exist.

See you, good-guys!
