Over at the Facebook site, we’ve asked people for opinions on how much new music, if any, to play here in the Secret Broadcast Cave. John’s response:
New music — yes.
American Idol-based music — no.
There is pop beyond the "Idol" juggernaut!!!
John makes a good point. We do like some of the music from the Idol phenomenon – though, to be honest, we can count the artists we like from the show on one hand and still have fingers left over. We can’t totally ignore it, though, since we don’t answer to anyone else, we can be more selective when we want (and that’s why you don’t hear much Nickelback here.)
We’re non-commerical here at Project 42, and that means we have to run on someone else’s hamster wheel to keep the generators on here in the cave. The down side of that is we don’t have as much time for music discovery as we’d like. So, in this thread, we’re asking for your suggestions.
If there’s an artist we’re missing, tell us here. Give us a song title or two to consider; website links would also be helpful. We’ll consider any of them at least once, but excessively vulgar or violent lyrics are automatically out. If we add your suggestion to the library, we’ll acknowledge it here so all seventeen of the people who read this will know that you have excellent taste.
