An alternative (and occasional) music posting highlighting something out of the ordinary. Perhaps of limited appeal, unconventional, experimental or just far-out ! Call it what you like (or switch it off, if you don't like). 

Have you been wondering lately about the future of music. A recent headline caught my attention "Will they ever play in a stadium again?", along side a picture of the Rolling Stones. 
Following the cancellation worldwide of festivals and tours it went on to list other ageing rock stars that may not get to play to large audiences as 'live' music wonders how to play to socially distanced crowds. It's a real conundrum. 
The article also pondered making records and releasing albums, the uncertainty of festivals, filming videos and streaming online. Adapting to change is going to require creativity from everyone in the business. One example I saw was of a concert in Denmark to a drive-in audience sitting in cars.

We have seen various collaborations over the last few months were artists and band members, usually indoors, are in different locations performing a song. Some have worked better than others, but the group Playing For Change have been creating these types of videos for a while now. They not only take you on a musical trip but also transport you around the globe, a nice bonus during these days of travel restrictions. So here might be the future of music for the immediate time to come.
