They remind me of the mythical Oroburos, the serpent who eats its own tail. How long until this particular serpent swallows its own head?

I think more music industry persons should stop what they are doing and give Trent a ear. The NIN remix site is something I would pay to have access to. I think the term Album has been changed from a thing you have on your shelf to a thing in your computer/mp3 player...... I don't think the CD is dead, but I think it has gone the same way as the 8 Track. Its something colectors and die hard fans want. The common person just wants to hear some music, we can listen to radio but then we are forced to listen to what the Labels think we should so they can have their Top 10 which is usually made up of the bottom ten artists who managed to pull off a one timer.

Is there some unwritten law that only people with no common sense whatsoever can ever rise to a high position of power?
