Its funny, I was thinking: You have to have great skills to be signed to get on warp but you have to have great looks and almost no skills to get on an american label. i swear to god if someone doesn't kill bush i will.

Please, I don't like the purely capitalism model for producing music either but it ain't Bush's fault.
The real culprit is that most people don't seem to really care about music. By that I mean most people don't have any curiosity about the music that lies outside the mainstream. They go out and buy music off the pop charts at an alarming rate. Major labels make mad cash and the beat goes on...

look at it this way man.. . I dont believe people that by pop music like music at all, they are buying fashion.. . thats why they have the whole "important" image thing on the singers and not the people that actually made the music, its all labels and current trends.. . pop music is not music. .. unless its popular because its been around awhile and is actually good.. . you know, like some rock bands etc. ..

Glitch: i disagree. most people i know really enjoy music, they just don't have the same curiosity as i do about what is outside of the mainstream. they're perfectly fine listening to the acts they like BEST on the radio (they don't necessarily like every act on the radio). i think it's very elitist to just assume they don't care about music just because they don't have the same appreciation for truly alternative music as you do. you have to understand that most of america is suburban or rural and that outside of the internet (which most kids use just to chat with their real-life friends, in case you didn't know), they really don't have an outlet for discovering non-mainstream music. so be careful with your assumptions.

yes music is a fad. all the record companies are run by george bush. it's a conspiracy between george bush and his brother osama bush to rid the world of talented music.

they act like they care becasue they can't come off straight away as like, yeah i don't know shit. so they try and mix in with peeps like us by hating other bands on the radio, which i find is retarded.
it's like people who don't eat orange starburst or purple skittles cuz the taste is awful?! it's fuckin' sugar!!! it taste the same as fuckin' red starburst or yellow skittles! eat that shit!

thats the best thing about warp....no pretty people just talent. I highly doubt you'll see boc/squarepusher selling coke or pepsi on tv. I hope this music never fades and the artists keep coming.
In terms of other peoples listening habbits...to each their own. My brother popped an autechre cd in and was like, dude seek help. When i first listened to them i was like christ did i just waste 20 bucks on a CD? But i learned to appr. it over time.
It makes me giggle to see lil kids (teens etc) be like P.O.D. is soooooooo hardcore man. when their not. Don't get me started on them though...
american radio blows...not b/c the don't play electronic music or other types of music i like...but they just play the same 20 songs in different orders every single day. All of the songs IMO sound the same. I can only tell the difference between Limp Bizkit and POD bye the singers voice...'so called dance 4/4 beat' stations, christ....that shit sounds like a 24 hour mega mix... I just wish quality of the stuff played improved....and varied a lil bit.

most people are stupid, so they like stupid stuff (not just music, but all types of media.... and lots of other stuff thats off topic)
unfortunately, most people also have the most money. :(

...i dunno about the rest of u, but i find hip-hop totally repulsive/boring/stupid. I hate the culture-the clothing, the performers....its so fake lookin/sounding.... when will it die?
i just saw some stupid pepsi commercial, with 3 guys talking all tough then...the fat one opens his mouth and he sounds like a 5 yr old. "u know how we do" what the fuck does that mean? How can u get signed for making shit like that?
