What is Audiocandy.....

...and why should i care?
Well, if you like good music, you should...
See, once upon a time, say , in a juke joint down south, maybe.. You'd have a couple guys , or a good band crankin out some raw blues, or something like that.. they'd get to rockin, and the crowd would get to stompin', and the more everybody got into it, the better the band would play, feeding off the crowd..back and forth, like a closed loop.. everybody'd get higher and higher.. but it didn't stop there.. at the end of the evening, the band would get a couple brew or whatever, and start shakin' hands, an sayin hello to everyone... maybe give a couple 78 rpms away, or later on, cassettes, or whatever... everybody'd be happy. They'd wave hello to the guys on the street the next day , or something like that... Somewhere along the way, however, Big Business came along...
Suddenly, the stage got higher.. there was no time to talk to the folks who came to see the show.. 'cuz the band hadda get in their stretch limo to get to the next gig quick.. to pay off their LOAN to the Big Record Company, that was not giving away anymore loss leaders ... the band were 'up there' and the fans were those 'plebes' down there... no closed loop .. can you really see any performance intimacy there, really?
It aint right... it Just Ain't Right...Somebody oughta do something to set things right.... Well, guess what... someone has.. Audiocandy...

....continued in part 2... later on...!
