  1. The propaganda re the Iraq War and the early 90s music scene are kinda my drivers for #DemocracyOfReach. They prove that our civics and culture would be so much better if we weren't misled by the wealthy. If money couldn't buy influence. If we the people decided what deserved attention.

  3. #SoundScan made the alternative era of the early 90s possible. The industry was suddenly forced to accept irrefutable data showing that fans were buying music that they hadn't been promoting. They didn't know what to do and so radio started to experiment. More stations played a mix of genres and new artists. I was lucky to have that be the years of my life leading into high school, probably when most people get imprinted with their lifelong musical taste. #GenX

  5. #KidRock #Korn and #LimpBizkit played #Woodstock99. That was the casket closing on the alternative 90s music scene getting to be mass culture. While it wasn't perfect, it's amazing that it ever happened.

    The music industry likes to talk about consumption, which is another word for tuberculosis, and it makes all real music lovers gag. They talk about consumption because they don't want to talk about sales because sales are down. Consumption is up though. So yay.

    For real though, it's a good thing that streaming ha...

  9. CW: Data: 2022 Total Music Sales and Streams

    People still buy albums. Taylor Swift fans, mostly. But still. 100 million physical and digital albums sold is not nothing. And Swift is responsible for 3% of those: 1,818,000 copies of Midnights (945,000 of those on vinyl!) and at least another 1.1 million more across her catalog.
