Stay in, lose, feel
and other things you can do with touch.
It's said the best way to know if a bill is fake is to study good currency. That when you are so familiar with what's good you'll spot the phony a mile away.
Being on the cutting edge is a tricky place. Some find the best way to do this is by immersing themselves in what's current and trendy and trying to push it to the next level. Others believe in becoming a recluse and taking the mad scientist approach.
I don't know the best way but I do know that it's not following the caravan of band wagoners. The people who made the money in the gold rush were the ones who made it there early, Before it became a rush. By that point the "market was flooded".
So there are the pioneers, the early adapters, and the followers. Of course followers are often responsible for colonization. And thats what has happened in the web and music world is that the pioneers have long since retired the early adapters have become distracted by indie flare and video games and the rest of those who still listen to terrestrial radio have colonized themselves in a community of jumbled "mix" that they don't even like that much.
I mean really do you like hearing little wayne next to colbie callet? Why do you think country does so much better than "pop 40"? Country for the most part knows who it is. Same with the alt rock. The pendulum is shifting and people are done being told what's pop, they are creating they're own genre boundaries...thank you Pandora and Satelite radio.
Stay in touch, lose touch, or feel the decision and definition is up to you.
