Last week I attended one amazing PhD thesis defense, whose scientific research focused on radio, as a medium who transformed enormously from its inception till today I know it all sounds way too serious for one regular Monday, and that you may even ask: “What it has to do with today’s playlist’s title?”, but believe me, there is a connection 🙂
At the end of her presentation, authoress pointed out the problem of the formatting radio program by standards dictated by our modern consumer society, to be exact, the advertisers and the lack of expert staff for selection of music content which is aired.
I smiled there for a moment. Although I don’t feel right because I can’t directly contribute to making more of our local radio stations have more faith and trust in new and young musicians, therefore because of all the focus groups and predefined hard-coded playlists with “tight” limits, their songs aren’t even considered to be played on any national frequency. What I can do is to make a small, picked by “heart and brain” playlist every Monday, which will arrive at your address hoping that you will discover something new and different.
We can have small victories everywhere and all the time, only if know where to look 🙂
Enjoy the new playlist!
