[WEEKLY SPECIAL FEATURE ARTICLE]





WHY MUSIC LOST ITS COMMERCIAL VALUE, PT. 3



A special feature article by indie writer, The Ghostwriter



"When it's my time to go, I'll wait for God with my Four Four."

I wanted to kick off my first article of the year with something that would really raise a lot of eye brows and shock everybody.

Yes, catchy, and yes, slick, witty, and all that good stuff, but above all, I wanted it to be something so controversial, unspeakable, and maybe even painfully or annoyingly true with the potential to get readers so pissed off they'll be looking for anyone nearby to slap in an uncontrollable moment of pure, deep felt fury and rage. Of course I also wanted it to be so bad they'd be too disgusted to stop reading.

I wanted it to be something to let the world know I mean business as an emerging writer in 2018 but I also wanted it to be something that's not as cliche as most of the stuff I've been reading others write so far - mostly cheesy marketing stuff with only one goal - to make readers click the link at the end of the article and buy yet another new product for the new year that somehow we survived without last year but suddenly need with immediate effect this year. Cheeky salesmen! But that's another story.

Needless to say, if you've read this far, you are slowly realising I didn't succeed in coming up with a catchy headline. In a moment of shame after spending countless moments at my desk pondering arrogantly as a philosopher and coming up with absolutely nothing, I remembered the last rhyme that recently blew my mind, and instead started with that so we could get straight down to business in 2018 and explore the countless possibilities why music lost its commercial value and how to fix it before we all completely lose it.

Engulfed in a dark cloud of sadness and despair, I got to thinking again:

"Why don't artists blow my minds anymore?

Why is it that everytime I give MTV another chance the first thing I see is pool parties and drunk maniacs having a good time? Why do they all look so happy when nobody's buying their records?

Why is Rihanna's bottocks the first thing I look forward to seeing when news surfaces about a new release? Why is Beyonce still singing about boys in the club when she's got two kids? Does she still do that? I don't know, why have I stopped listening?

Why the hell do all these rappers keep singing? Why are there so many amazing new songs out there, right at my finger tips, for free even, and I just don't want them? Is anything even real anymore? "

... I almost lost it there, before quickly snapping out of it.

Much like Christmas songs, many new songs on the radio or in the media seem to be for one thing and only one thing - partying and having a good time - and that's a good thing, except, I've got other stuff to do as well and there is whole a lot more than parties and orgies happening in the world today.

I listened to pop all Christmas and New Year while I was loaded on eggnog and spiked punch but I'm back to work and I do it all week - I can't be thinking about Rihanna or Beyonce right now, I'm focused. So once again I've taken it back to the old school - Listen here

In the spirit of keeping to the initial agreement we made in the first installment of this collumn - to try to keep each article short, I'd like to finish here for now, and also take this moment to apologise for not delivering last week's article as usual - I was NOT parked by the toilet throwing up eggnog and punch all weekend, but I'm back now.



I'd also like to officially wish you a happy 2018, long life and prosperity, till we meet again next week, my honorable friend on the wild wild web.
