Makes me sad to see what gets popular and what gets ignored.

What do you think of Drooble?

Great idea.

21. century music industry... if it can still be called music industry.

I used to see many young bands, both their gigs and practice sessions. Now I am all adult and busy for it.

Unique character and something fresh. Sounding fancy is not a necessity.
