Youtube and Music

Have you been on youtube lately?  I know, I know, silly question.  You have it open right now in another tab. Of course you've been on youtube recently.  Everyone has. And if you've been on there you've probably been listening to music videos (or watching kittens:-p). Youtube is changing the world of music. In fact I think it is revolutionizing it.

There are of course, the big record label associated artists on youtube trying to sell you sex as much as music, but there are also many extremely talented self-made artists who have become very successful. The nice part is, they are usually successful because they are talented musicians, and not just sexy bodies that happen to sing.  Maybe you haven't yet run across some of these bands yet.  If not that situation needs to be rectified immediately! What I think is the most amazing part of most of these bands is the fact that they make these songs with at the most a couple thousand dollars worth of equipment.  Gone are the days of needing a label backing to have the sufficient capital to release a song or to be found.  With equipment that you can pick up at Best Buy, and a bit of talent these bands have had millions of people listen to and love their music.  I think its pretty cool.
