i think he means they hear a song, like it, then cant go buy it for 4weeks, by which time they've heard it so much they cant go get it.

used to be songs were played on the radio in the week before release generally.

retired_jshendel

Yeah exactly that. So many songs when i first hear them i think its great, then by the 1000 play im bored of it when it comes out

Owners of the site are most probably looking at different hosting countries right now.

Oink will live on Oink V2.1

retired_therob

Ah I see.

I think the 4 weeks of airplay before release is to build up interest and try to get as much sales as possible in the first week of release so that they chart highly.

What does "Kill the music industry" mean exactly? Kill it in terms of bands being able to become superstars and make millions from it? If that's the case then good, not what music should be about.

Good music and good bands will survive whatever...

retired_heidus17

yeah pretty much, why im not bothered by it at all.

i'd say only about 10% of the bands i listen to are on majors, and they'd most likely all be on indies if they werent.

by then either:

someone's found it & uploaded it so its been available for 3 weeks before release

people are so sick of it if it charts it'll be so far down it'll be deemed a failure

or

people think "ah it'll be on the radio enough i wotn bother paying for it"

Which is a result of 1/ Most pop music having no real value in terms of longevity, basically songs that will be forgotten or get annoying before it comes around to realease.

and 2/ The people who tend to like pop music being more casual music fans, so are less likely to spend money on music if they can get it for free.

no, its that anything will given time become annoying,grate on you and eventually become something you cant stand.

i wasn't specifically talking about 'pop music', any music- if say a song has say 5 weeks on average staying in the chart- if its played 4 weeks before release then in the mind of the general public come the big day its already been around for 4 of those weeks & they'll be sick of it
