Industry rule # 4080

We've always suspected that record labels paid off radio stations. Now we have proof:
Payola
Ok, so labels can pay radio stations to force feed us crappy music, effectively shutting out independants, but god forbid a 12 year old shares her music collection:
Settlement
I swear...

And people wonder why I've been getting into anime soundtracks.

I suspect you might enjoy reading this article (registration required) by Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post on the same subject. Some interesting details and points here.

That's why I have a 13 year old cousin who wants to get at my iTunes collection, but says stuff like "I don't like Lenny Kravitz- he's gay." Or "Sade? Who's that?" Or "uuugghhh... I don't want no funk." Or "Voodoo Child? What's Jimi Hendrix?"

But he's dying b/c he can't get any Too $hort until he accepts the other stuff. "What is Shake That Monkey? And why do they call it 'monkey'?" Sad. But still pretty funny.
