Subject: SxSW

So Bob,

Got an email today about SxSW. Over 700 bands. Over 700 bands!! Even if you listened to one song by each band it would take 35 hours. I'll bet people, normal people, don't listen to more than 20 minutes a day and with the gate keepers of radio in place, how is any of this ever going to get through? Now think of all the bands not playing in SxSW. I'll bet there's 40 thousand bands in the country. It's over Bob. No one will ever get through to the masses. You're right, it's all niche markets now.
