WordPress and Music

One of the many unexpected ways in which the Internet has changed our lives is our personal expression of music. The availability of what we hear is no longer determined by a handful of music industry executives who may or may not share our tastes. Music-the way it is produced, the way it is sold, and the way in which ear is changing, and music fans are the beneficiaries.

These days, how many of us listen to a song in rotation on the radio, then go to the record store to pay $ 17.99 for the CD with the song (along with a number of other songs that may or may not want to hear)? In fact, we probably hear something for the first time digitally, perhaps through a link that refers to us by a friend with similar tastes or a YouTube video that everyone seems to be talking about. Maybe we stop regularly at a place like a gallery or read GarageBand.com CSS to hear the latest in independent music and compare our views of it with others. The music industry is becoming a very open democracy.

This has been a blessing for musicians. Now, instead of waiting and waiting and praying for a recording contract, the band can produce and distribute their music on their own. When just starting out, you can upload to a site like Indie-music.com, hoping to attract fans. As buzz grows, it could develop their own site, allowing fans to learn more about their work. The best thing is that all this can be achieved with little capital investment. Posting on sites YouTube music is often free or independent, and even software to develop and improve a website such as WordPress, is available as a free download. Then when something really takes off, the band members can meet with record companies in touch with them!

Even a decade ago, I could have imagined that a band as big as Radiohead allow fans to pay whatever they wanted to download an album, or a scruffy Scottish spinster and Susan Boyle could reach millions with your voice? Across the spectrum of music, the Internet has allowed us to find, share and enjoy the songs and artists specific to our tastes as never before.
