adult music-freaks unite.
Adult music-freaks, I’m talking to you.
And by freak, I mean fans, enthusiasts, devotees…your music is synonymous with your identity. Webster’s defines this sort of freakdom as “a markedly unusual or a regular thing or occurrence.” Apparently and, in my opinion, mistakenly, when it comes to adults, the music industry agrees.
Yes, we’re getting older. But this doesn’t mean we’re getting lamer. The fact is, today’s music marketplace virtually ignores the very people who grew up on rock ‘n roll. From Zeppelin to Simon and Garfunkel to Aretha… we lived it. But is there new music that’s relevant today?
Abso-freaking-lutely.
The idea is to create a smart antenna for lifelong music fans, where it’s easy to both discover the next Clash, Dylan, or James Brown and to be reminded why those artists out-and-out rocked your world in the first place. After all, no matter what your age, music remains essential. The current assumption is that grown-ups are uninterested in new music. You and I both know that just plain isn’t true.
I mean, come on, we’ve all had the experience where aesthetically, at least, an infectious new song can act as a youthful elixir the same way an old gem can transport you through time. And, although we might blush to admit it, from Botox to Viagra rejuvenation is a universal desire. So why not, through the discovery of relevant, new artists alongside heritage mainstays, cultivate an environment where great music, new and known, is much more than just something that goes on between your ears? A place where your personal soundtrack is, unequivocally, serious business? Where each and every song is lovingly handpicked, with your adult sensibilities in mind?
Groovy.
Set to launch early 2008, Outlandos Music aggregates, curates, and shares great music…music for knockdown, jump-around, shout-out-loud music-freaks. Adults. Just like us.
In the meantime, it’s my hope that we can exchange ideas via this blog about all things music. So don’t be shy. Get your music-freak on and let’s cut through the noise.
