Kate Bush exposes a lot of what’s broken with music industry

This is exactly what I’m getting at

You shouldn’t need to invest so much time in shuffling around. Streaming and music media should be able to have the same impact as TV. And also outside of maybe 6 Music, a lot of radio is either specialist or commercial, and rarely is there much overlap.

I still remember when Phil Taggart slipped some Babymetal onto Radio 1 in daytime and it seemed to defy logic but had a big impact.

It’s not anything that’s “broken” with the music industry, it’s literally just that people can listen to any music recorded over an entire century now, whereas prior to online music there was a scarcity factor which just doesn’t exist now.

Ah wait, I see @radbitt has covered this better than I could.

Probably for the general casual music listener (radio/playlists/stuff they hear on tv) Kate Bush has been reduced to Wuthering Heights and nothing else really so it may well be new to a surprising number of people even of the age you’d expect to know her.

So curated playlists not algorithms?

“People aren’t enjoying music properly” is never going to be a good take, sorry Sean.

Tv soundtracks are no NFTs that’s for true.

Can people just be able to listen to whatever they want without it being analysed and pored over by a load of bored nerds?

Music industry:
“this so unfair! Why are people listening to Kate Bush rather than our pale imitation of Kate Bush?”

Ooooft!

I dont hear gender, just good music :sunglasses:

(but they shouldnt be shocked that people are checking out Kate Bush when a) she’s great b) for a while it seemed ike every PR firm was name checking her to push their own artist.
Of course people will be like “hmm maybe I should check this Kate Bush out”

They made her rename it Running Up That Hill instead of Deal With God to not upset Christians

Better title?

  • Running up that Hill
  • Deal with God
