Kevin Drew: …”You can’t tell people how to listen to music. You just fucking listen to it. You don’t put your iPods on shuffle, you don’t even go to record stores any more. It’s great, people are finding more and more bands because of these great internet sites. But I fucking loved going down to the record stores and going to the listening stations and albums home and listening to them. I still hope people load their iPods with shit, and go driving for hours. People are listening to music! Good bands are selling records, good bands are getting noticed. We are in a vibrant place. Satellite radio? That shit is coming on strong, and that shit is saving radio. And all the bands writing commercials? There used to be a holy textbook about how you’re not allowed to do that, and it doesn’t exist anymore. Someone’s buried that. Commercials are becoming the new radio– it depends how much effort you want to spend. But people are listening to music. I’ve seen people find great bands through commercials and not give two shits.”
