The Democratization of the Music Industry

What happens with all this digital music that no one wants to listen to? Is it really elitist to want to have "gatekeepers" to sift through the trough? (Oh, and what about those "Editor Picks" on TuneCore?)

Back in the day, a band spent someone else's money - to record, to live on - so yes, nothing was given without a hitch. Nowadays the advances in technology (recording, internet, manufacturing and otherwise) have made it truly possible for anyone to create music, does that give us "better' music? Is "more" really a better option in this case?

Don't get me wrong, The Major Record Label is as much a dinosaur as a Tyrannosaurus Rex, or Emerson Lake and Palmer. But the sheer volume of music being produced and now available is the death of Rock-n-Roll. It's not elitist, it's overwhelming. It's incomprehensible, and it won't get heard. Does anyone really think this could go on forever?

Seems as though this TuneCore hasn't really distanced itself that much from the ol' Music Industry: no support for Ogg Vorbis!
