Drowing in a sea of pop

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

This discussion got kind of lost in the last chart poll comments - I think it deserves its own thread.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the vast swathes of music out there? How do you keep up? Or do you just listen to the same old stuff 90% of the time?

Where do you usually hear new music? Radio, telly, blogs, random interwebs... or poptimists? If we don't know about something, is it the record label's fault for not promoting the artist?

Also - have you ever experienced music 'fatigue' (as mcarralata mentions in that other thread)?

One can be a Poptimist and like pop from years gone by rather than what currently passes for pop.

You say "what currently passes for pop" as though modern pop is so inferior to old pop, which...just isn't the case at all!
