I posted this in another thread, and I'll just copy it here instead of trying to find different ways of saying the same things:
I haven't had a TV for a couple of years now, but when I had, and accidentally found myself tuned in to some glitzy 'awards show' where the silicone boobs where only outnumbered by the silicone brains, I simply turned it off.
The good music is out there - whether it's country, jazz, blues, classical, rock - but you have to make an effort to find it!!
If you don't, and simply turn on the same lame show that almost gave you an ulcer last year, then you've only got yourselves to blame.
The industrial music business is obviously desperate and willing to do anything to make money,- "quality" has left the building.
So do some research, check out the struggling indie artists still making good music, and support them by buying their stuff instead of wasting time and energy on the most cynically fabricated and marketed products around.

It's all out there, but don't expect to find it by tuning in to the commercial mainstream media..
CMA Awards..Made me a liar....
