Commercialism killing music - Watch B4MD

Ran into this site:

BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES tells the story of American music at this precarious moment. Filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen traveled the country, hoping to understand why mainstream music seems so packaged and repetitive, and whether corporations really had the power to silence musical innovation. The answers they found on this journey–ultimately, the promise that the future holds–are what makes BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES both riveting and exhilarating.

I feel that it's not just American Music. It's the same everywhere. Record labels look for "marketable" and quick money making albums. Check out one of the latest "Outrageous" songs. But, a band like Mekaal Hassan Band does not get promoted enough.
