One of my favorite parts of the new Internet Era is the “possibility” that music becomes decentralized.  That it’s not the same 5 guys in the same 5 ivory towers deciding what we should like.  

We have such huge opportunity to personally evaluate and recommend music to our friends.  And as part of this evolution, I suspect we would each have a select list of artists who we dial up for our own personal pleasure that no one else knows.  With that as context, my personal soundtrack includes a steady dose of Bob Schneider, Alex Woodard, Reckless Kelly & Micky and the Motorcars. 

We suddenly have these great opportunities to find music we like, without the interference of radio.  I encourage everyone to explore and share their favorite finds.
