I was tuned in as promised and I have to say, I'm not sure whether is it a CD or Album or if they are going to make up a new term. I remember actually having some 33.3333 rpm albums but I'm not sure today's collegians would have a clue as to what an album was. I'm pretty sure that the typical 18-22 year old thinks that the cassette is the oldst of all recorded media. I have heard CD and album used interchangably the few times that I have listened to commercial radio, but as for what it will be in the future, who knows. Maybe the legacy name will keep going.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Although vinyl has made a big comeback with audiophiles, so a lot of the 18-22 set are snapping up records as part of a "cool factor" thing.
I decided to just use CD & album interchangeably. People will know what I'm talkin' about.
Everyone that I know still says they are working on an album not a CD and they still release new stuff as LP's in limited quantities.My friend produced the last two Neil Young records which were on classic vinyl.We still have plenty of record stores in Nashville that are thriving with vintage and hot off the press stuff much like Austin does.Don't discount the young ones as they are the the driving force behind the indie artists success. A lot of that is due to getting back to the basics of grassroots promotion and touring.It's disappointing that the best music is not delivered to a bigger audience because the major labels won't gamble on the talented but are more inclined to formulate their own "artists".
I will probably be performing in Lexington soon as part of a Rolling Stones tribute.I'll let you know the details if you would like to come.
I wasn't discounting the young folks' relevance at all. I was merely commenting on the resurgence in popularity of vinyl collecting...it started back in the 90s, anyway...I remember a lot of WRFL folks really priding themselves on their vinyl collection. LPs have always had a touch of the hipness factor around them, given that's how album recording originated. I still have a good number of LPs myself, and love them.
Record labels are quickly becoming obsolete, with all the downloading from iTunes and such, and even in terms of major, previously label-driven artists. Madonna and Radiohead are certainly proving that, with their recent independent deals/approaches.
Sure, let me know when you're in town and I'll come out to see!

Are you going to play some of the Boss this show?
Funny you should ask, as I do have a Springsteen song lined up to play. We can only play one song per artist during a shift, or I'd do a block of him.
Thanks in advance, if you tune in!
I think that "The Boss's Block" would be a nice break up of the day but I will be tuned in to hear what song you have chosen from the Boss.
