Home Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

The state of music ADVERTISING in the US...

is what you experienced, and the state of advertising in NYC yet.

Business is business and the state of business for print papers is /has been shakey for a LONG time.

Most people heading to NYC are more interested in going shopping and taking in a play; not going to the BN or CH.
MOST of the advertising you're seeing is aimed at them.

Maybe next issue there will be a piece on some orchestra, band, musician you dig, one issue don't tell the whole story.
You'd need to track it for at least 3 months to discern any definite pattern/trend.

When I used to pursue the Times A&R (when the Arts were the Arts by most definitions) section some days it was a 4.5
minute read, other weeks 45 minutes worth.

That's as it has always been with ALL newspapers (New Yorker too).

If every issue ONLY had articles I was interested in, circulation would just plunge further.

As far as reaching me with advertiising, ALWAYS was a waste of time.
