So I'm starting to get a bit disenchanted with the music industry, and since I'm in it that's not a good thing.

It's just all so haphazzard, these little bands being managed by their dad or their postman, while I'm trying to do a good job. And thanks to the bands my boss dishes out, the music is usually atrocious, with a few exceptions.

At one of my previous firms I was there 3 months and brought in 2 bands, but at my current firm, after a year, I still haven't brought in anything, largely becuase my boss won't let me out of the office to meet with a band unless she is there. It's not our company, its hers. We're not a team, its her with some lemmings in the corner.

Anyway, lets not get personal. The music industry is collapsing around my ears and I'm starting to get a bit fed up. I have no idea how you judge if music is good and no way of quantifying it. Why is commercial music bad for example? Beyonce makes some good tunes yet because its a team of people behind her rather than an individual effort it is censured. Ok, I'm not going to buy the album, but it seems a little unfair she gets critcally slated while people think One Night Only are good.

And Beyonce has a huge marketing budget, which probably helps.
