Make Or Break

I think sometimes it really just takes a hit to make or break an artist. I've been trying to hunt down the tracks by Magnet, and boy are they hard to locate. Scratch that. It seems that the earlier tracks just aren't "out there". Which is pretty sad, considering that some people are really rather eager to grab his best works.

I guess there's just something different about his style of music. I do like country, but unfortunately even country gets stale over time. The randomness of electronica and synth can add quite a bit, when mixed in with classical music or even opera. Then again, maybe my tastes are somewhat eclectic, so I can only really count on the indie scene for my fix.

For the indies, even free distros of certain tracks off their website can make a huge difference in increasing their following. Without the big names to sing their praises, it's really mostly up to the marketing skills of the artists and the adoration of their fanbase.
