Namely, "scenes" that maybe we shouldn't be too worried about dying out.

I can understand someone getting upset about the crappy bands that labels make big for a season and then just disappear later. I think there's a little bit more of that because the bigger labels have not reacted to the changes in the industry very well. I guess they make a quick buck that way. But time and time again, good music has always risen to the top. History has always shown that to be true. The part that takes work though is showing the powers that be how they can make money off of your music. I like what you said in your Denton Texas article(I think it was that one) about bands needing to put in more work than just doing the whole myspace routine. The bands that take on that sort of attitude I think will be surprised to find how effective their efforts will be over time. It's tough, but if you truly love what you're doing, then you will find a way. The “music scene” is never truly dead.

You and all of the people here do a pretty good job of promoting some of the better aspects of the local scene here and around the area. In my opinion people who think the scene is dead arn't looking hard enough. And if the scene truely is dead, you've gotta do your best to frankenstein that bitch back together. True that David.
