HEAVY ROTATION…SONGS ON MY PLAYLIST!

With the advance of recording technology, it makes it much easier for individuals (talented and non-talented alike) to take on the role of singer or record producer. This eventually results in people like me getting a ton load of “”tunes” every minute, of every day! Now, I have more tunes to “audition” when making up my playlist. Granted, there are a lot of good tunes coming from good singers and dee jays, however, there are an equally amount of horrible tunes coming from terrible singers and dee jays! The fact is, I do get more bad songs/singers/dee jays than I get good ones. I mean, it seems like everybody is a singer or a dee jay now, thanks to ProTool and the lot!

The other day, I was complaining to a colleague on this same subject, he was telling me that the same thing was happening to him, and how he can imagine the volume I was getting. He then stated “Mr. Lindsay, look at it this way, this is a testament to your effectiveness of breaking artists and songs over the years…so many people wish they had the influence and track record like you – myself included!” With that said, I took away from my conversation with him that this is one of the prices paid for doing what I do, I mean, I think there is a compliment in there somewhere.

In spite of the ton load of stuff I get, I do take the time to listen to just about all of them – it just takes up so much more of my time. According to my colleague “from what I know aspiring artists want to be on your playlist…everyone one of them that send me a tune always beg me to make sure I pass it on to you…” And that I can understand, but man, it can be so over bearing at times. Keep in mind, the established singers, dee jays, and producers are still submitting their stuff to me too. What to do?

Oh well, duty calls… I guess I better shut up and go listen to some tunes waiting for me in my mailbox, and bear in mind what my brethren said, ” there are not too many Clinton Lindsays around today…”
