We just need to hear these cuts. We don't have a piracy problem so much as an EXPOSURE problem. We don't know what to listen to. It's like going into a record store in an era before radio. All the discs are there, are you gonna play them all to find out what's good? No, you need guidance.

Too often the shoppers in indie stores need no advice. They just need someone to discuss their addiction with. The shoppers at the big box need help, but the workers there are clueless. Maybe the indie stores and the big boxes can switch employees?

Meanwhile, everybody's online, where everything's available and everybody's overwhelmed.

I love discovering new music. One of life's great pleasures. I rely on radio, both Sirius/XM and Slacker. I'd like a site that winnows the good from the bad, that isn't in bed with the labels, that isn't trying to be hipper than thou. I don't know how you're satiated with your iPod. It only plays what you already know!
