Music and the Media

Music is such a big part of our lives and a big part of our media that they are practically inseparable. I really notice this whenever I'm watching a movie or a TV show and they don't have music playing in the background. The fact that I notice when there isn't music in something instead of when it does tells me that I have become both addicted to it and at the same time numb to the experience. I know I'm addicted because watching something that doesn't have music just feels wrong to me anymore. Like it's empty or something is missing.

I don't listen to a lot of radio because I find most stations will play one or two songs I like, then a gratuitous amount that I don't. I know this isn't the radio stations fault because they just play what will be most beneficial to them. But that means I get hooked on new music via friends or the internet. Who in turn get there music from their friends and the internet. But where does the cycle begin? To get music out there you need someone to plug your songs, that's where a professional plugger comes in. Plugging new music might not sound too hard but to be any good you have to be completely dedicated to your job and go the extra mile for your clients. I tend to be pretty fickle when it comes to my music and I probably wouldn't be very good at pretending to like something that I really didn't just to get it played so it's probably not the job for me.

My point in all this really is thank goodness for pluggers that get new music out there for people like me to enjoy.
