1 Giant Leap
One of the benefits of being somewhat home-bound for a year has been to explore what's been happening in the music world lately. "Lately" meaning since I got out of college - 20 years ago. I learned while working for Warner Music Group that 80% of all CDs are sold to people between the ages of 14 and 24. (No wonder they are so worried about MP3 sharing. This is the same demographic who knows more than anyone how to share files on the net and who cares more about having access to new music than they do about copywrite laws.) Warner found that people generally keep listening to the same artists and same genre of music that they did in college. Once people start having babies it is just harder to keep up with the music scene.
Music is getting much harder to classify - when world, electronica, hip/hop all merge into one, waddaya call it? Check out 1 Giant Leap and see what I mean. Great music, and a great story.
