true enough. I lost patience in the radio a long while back--they play the same damned songs by bands I couldn't give a crap about, followed by 20 minutes of commercials during a '30 minute commercial free ROCK BLOCK!'
one development I believe will prove to be huge for the next generation of 'great bands' is internet radio. you can hear bands and music that 99% of the time would never get play on mainstream stations. stuff that, in the past, would've been huge. that said, I'm not trendy enough to be an indie or underground music fan.
