More proof that the nature of the music business has changed forever.

Bruce Springsteen (and the E Street Band) will soon have a new album (CD? LP? Record? Fileset? Download? What are these things called these days?) entitled Magic in release on Oct. 1. However, being that radio (what's left of it, anyway) no longer does much of a job of airing

And the sad thing is, they *think* they know what those coveted 18-34 set likes when the truth of the matter is so many of them like all kinds of music, old and new

I wasn't that impressed with the song, sadly.

"CD? LP? Record? Fileset? Download? What are these things called these days?"

INDEED. It's kinda disquieting to know that in my lifetime I'm likely to have seen both the birth AND the demise of the venerable Compact Disc. Pretty soon kids are going to start having fiber optic cable ports installed in the back of their skulls.

Having over 25 years of radio experience under my belt, I know EXACTLY where you're coming from. I despise the whole corporate playlist thing.

I couldn't have said it better myself

One of our local stations is notorious for playing second rate covers instead of the originals. Problem is, I bet many listeners, and maybe even the dj's, think it's the original. You know, all good music wasn't recored yesterday. LOL!

You know what would really make the new album stand out? "More Cowbell"... ;)

OH NO! I was just recovering from the cheese overdose of that animated gif with the cowbell.
