Why bands are disappearing: "Young people aren’t excited by them" (www.theguardian.com)

I was looking into why I just don't see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

Yeah soon they will be playing the edgy music we listened to in grocery stores. They already play Nirvana.

It get torn at times too about whether I like nostalgic recordings or the remasters. Just last week I was trying to debate which version of Pretty Hate Machine to add to the library… the original that I owned and knew inside and out, or the 2010? remaster which was louder and had some cool audio effects.

Ended up going with the remaster lol. I don’t have anything that can play vinyl and I’m sure if I did my kids or cats would break it. I do love the sound though.

yeah for me personally vinyls go on the wall and I store my high quality ones digitally. A fun project has been adding NFC tags to my vinyls though so you can hold a phone up to a vinyl and it'll start playing
