In this portion of my interview with Adam Spanier of My Starving Lion, we discuss how the availability of technology creates an automatic weeding out process. This ensures that anyone creating and promoting their music, for an extended period of time, has a stronger motivational force than the possibility of a large paycheck. When the concept of world-wide fame and millions of dollars in compensation for one's auditory art becomes diminished, it seems that only those who are truly passionate survive for an extended period of time. When music is created for the love of music, or the love for a message, or the basic need to create, this cultivates a new atmosphere for music altogether. As a result, we have available to us music in its most pure and passionate form... if we are willing to seek it out. As difficult as it is for musicians to get their music heard in the sea of content, it's equally as difficult to find the music that a single heart craves. But this process, though at times daunting, seems to intensify the appreciation for that amazing music. At least, for me, it does. When I find music that I truly love, I hold onto it. And likewise with truly starving artists: when they find the fans that can relate to and appreciate their art, they hold onto them. They show appreciation, they show love. They are... reciprocal. This makes this era the best so far to be a music fan.
