OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
There’s a Renaissance of sorts happening in the music business right now by which music we’ve lost track of, or have ignored outright, due to the current ubiquity of pop music is crawling out from the primordial ooze and is being reborn as something new. New masters, new packaging and/or new formats are moving in to replace the gaping hole left by marginilized MP3 files and the impending death of CDs.
On November 10, 2014 Pink Floyd released its latest , and presumed last, studio album ‘The Endless River‘. It broke existing records on iTunes for pre-sales [a redundant idea if you consider that they can generate an infinite number of MP3s at will]. It also turns out that it’s not a bad album.
Sometimes the best musical adventures happen by accident. While I try to stay on top of the musical goings on here in Toronto, things definitely slip past my notice from time to time. I know, it’s a low down dirty shame, but I am only one person! There is so much to keep track of, so from time to time a little help from my friends (and the persistence of a few public relations professionals) leads to me having an impromptu night of really great music. This is the story of how I accidentally snuck into Folk Alliance, without even realizing.
