Music With Meaning



It seems apt to follow on from Akala, a rapper who has lots to say, that's postive, worthwhile and engaging, and flag up a recently launched campaign: Music With Meaning.

If you have had enough of vacuous meaningless, WASTE, music - whether that's reality tv bands, crazy frog, blinged up-jiggy-gangsta hip POP, then log onto to www.myspace.com/jointhestruggle or sign up at www.musicwithmeaning.co.uk

Apparently the 'market'dictates what we are given. The music industry, would have us believe it's only servicing our needs and wants - so ultimately we're responsible for the utter shite that constitutes much of contemporary, popular music.

So ergo, if we want that to change, we must make a stand. To quote, Fatboy Slim, 'Right Here, Right Now.'Perhaps it's more fitting to use the words of the greatest polemicists modern music has ever known, Public Enemy, 'Fight The Power.'
