I don't even listen to mainstream anymore. I mean, Britney Spears. That's all anyone has to say when it comes to record labels. They turned her into a pedofile's wet dream. And I'm sure it screwed her up in the long run.

I've noticed since Lady Gaga's weirdness, the industry artists in similar genres have been getting more 'edgy'. Like odd outfits and ridiculous hair-dos, over-the-top videos and live performances. Did you catch the Grammy's last night? I think they spent more on stage theatrics then anything else. Annoyed me.

Seattle? How do you make something sound more Seattle?

ha yeah poor Britney. But that kind of "artist" is always just there to be a unit-shifter. Even the larger, rockier bands aren't immune, they're under the thumbs of the labels for the most part, and have to tailor their work to their target market.

Like Seattle as in more grungy. That was all the music industry was interested in during the early nineties.
