What is the music business like there? Do they appreciate local artists? Or are they into pop? |

Location: Copenhagen Denmark | Hmm...the music scene has developed tremendously overhere,during the past 10 yrs.it has escalated even,so many bars have been re-done to accomodate live music,and the quality has gone-up as well,mostly american style,jazzy,rap,rock,country is big,even on T V.. even stand-up comedy ,and then of course the dance bands,U know playing 60 ish,70 ish ,it`s in away easier to get gigs,pay is usually lousy,and then there`s " told og skat " ( Danish equivalent of the I R S ) so by far most moosies are part-timers,such as myself,there are those who live of it,but do be prepared to run around,Sweden,Norway, a quick small gig in Finland,Germany is stil the Mecca of Music overhere,they still like songs in their native tongue,same for France,of course there are New Danish ,Swedish,even Norwegian songs,but Few and Far in between,as one member from Finland once posted here ( can n`t remember who ) " I`ve been gigging around the world,but never at home "....so there,in a nutshell...U know :, It`s Hard to be a Profet in one`s own country ;)
P S . I do not have a site, I`m a klutz with computers,and my sons are allways busy,the Big Lad (23)is preparing for his exams,the Little Lad (16)has no time either ( he complains about walking the dog twice a day :rolleyes: ) but someday !! ;) .......sorry :)

And this statistic, if it could be derived, is probably the most important. How many downloads caused someone to be exposed to music they would not normally think about, and they end up buying an artists whole catalog based on hearing a shared download, or, they talked about it and at least caused someone else to buy the artists work. I can only speak for myself, but I had pretty much tuned out of contemporary music around 1993 or so. I didn't get back into it until the original (illegal) Napster came along. Thanks to that, I got wired in to all kinds of new stuff. For a year or so, I was going nuts, listening to new stuff and (most importantly) buying CD's for the first time in years. I bet I bought 50 CD's that year. It was just more convenient: Once I found something I liked, I would buy the CD just so I had a perfectly clean copy (no someone's hack job CD rip) of the complete album.
Then they shut down Napster. Big mistake IMHO. Those guys are clinging in desparation to the past. They need to be looking to the future. |
