I feel that bands can do whatever they want, after all, they own themselves and the art/music they create.

Genres aren't that relevant. Nearly every form of music is a melting pot of things of things.

The relationship that people have with music is entirely different now. People spend much less time experiencing music on a one on one level than they could have if they were a part of a different generation. I find this ironic since we have so many tools at our finger tips to be engaged by media in all forms.

I feel that people spend as much time skipping songs as they do listening to them in their library.

As a writer, I never paid much attention to the length of titles. I've just wanted them to communicate the emotional overtones of the content of a record or song that they are describing

Though a song may race by in a minute and a half, every aspect of it is calculated and intentional.

What I've witnessed, managers are divisive and allow musicians to become clouded, irresponsible, and unaware of the world around them.
