Now and then I get letters from people bemoaning the state of music. They say that it’s all corporate now, there are no more good bands, everyone sounds the same. I am always so happy to disabuse them of these ridiculous and provably false notions. There are still bands and musicians making exciting, vital music, albums that you can play all the way through and want to play again and again. From the very beginning, there has been dreck in every possible musical genre. But at the same time, there has always been music that is impossibly great. These are two aspects of music that I doubt will change. Pick any year you swear music was at peak levels of perfection and I can find some of the most dire swill released in the same time period. So before you say that it’s all over for music, it could very well be that you’re either not looking in the right places or just not trying very hard. Because the truth is, 2014 has been a fantastic year for music. - Henry Rollins (2.13.61)
