Undiscovered Music

In class today, we were talking about convenience in the music industry, and I wanted to put in my input of why that is from someone who isn't musically "in the loop" as much as most people. In class you also related it to going to fast food places, and we go to what is normal and what is what we are used to a comforting. That might be true for someone who knows what's out there and just chooses to do what is convenient. However, I don't even know probably 90 percent of the music that is released if not more, so for me it would probably be like trying to find the best places to eat in a strange country with a different language. If someone told me to go find a band that was new and upcoming, I wouldn't even know where to start, since the only places I get my music are from Pandora, Youtube, and the Radio. Even in class, I had no idea about most of the bands we have talked about until you showed them to us. That is one of the reasons I really like the class, but I also think it isn't fair that there are some really talented people out there that don't get noticed because they don't know the "right people".
