*psa* When it comes to the information marketplace, the belief that everybody can become a well-known musician will never be anything more than an illusion, and the more people there are who cast their name in the hat, the higher the possibility that the world will be paying attention to someone else’s music instead of yours. Talk to any artist who has emptied out his or her savings trying and failing to promote an album, and it feels like something is deeply, systemically very wrong with the way that our little corner of the internet has evolved over the past few years. In fact, it seems like most of the people making money off the democratization of music are the people who aren’t actually making music. Instead of encouraging our artists to think about their music from a career perspective from the moment they up their first track to SoundCloud, shouldn’t we be encouraging them to concentrate on the music? Shouldn’t we be goading them on to produce art for art’s sake? *psa*
