ok well how many bands do you see on programmes like totps, cd:uk etc. (and tv in general) how many major labels and people with money and power support real live music and real UK bands and how many pop groups and stuff do you see flying up the charts and being splashed all over every paper and magazine - then suddenly there's arena tours... then they're presenting some crappy kids programme... but anyway record companies spend money on pop shit because it's easy to market and people lap it up just like any fashion trend - it comes, it makes it's money, then it leaves but why really just...why?
