Re: Is there ONLY 3000 of us in the world?



Why the need to be freaks? Are we playing some sort of individual blame-game
here because we don't listen to the same stuff that the rest of the
mainstream listens to?

Maybe it's the mainstream that's wrong. Have you listened to any of the crap
they listen to? All you have to do is go driving in your car to hear what
they are listening to (and most of them ain't playing Bruce Springsteen).

I've always thought of myself as eclectic. I have so many different
interests that aren't in fashion in the mainstream.

Look at it this way - you and I liked Star Trek and science fiction when it
was really uncool to like that stuff. Now it's really popular. But we were
there first.

That XM Radio has devoted an entire channel to film music says something. I
doubt that us 3000 film score fans all have XM radio. So who then is XM
programming it for? That many of the studios are opening their vaults for
our little interest says something. They wouldn't do it if they didn't think
there was a buck to be made off of it.

have more than a 100 soundtracks in their music collection. Sheesh.

We've downloaded music in our craniums that no one cares about. We are
musical freaks.

Why isn't film music more popular with the world population?

Do we even add up to one percent in the music buying population?
