Well, I just thought I would give everyone an update to the status of XYRocks and the Digital Radio Show (podcast). Lately I've been unable to post a new show so I figured I would give everyone an update on XYRocks! The past few months I've been finishing up my degree. Fall of 2009 was my last semester of college (last two classes) and I did not want to fuck up in the last semester. Therefore, I chose to focus on my education and take a break from the show. It paid off because I can now say I'm done with school if I want to be!!! I've achieved my goal. That being said, I now have a few choices: 1) Work during the day and focus on bringing the full XYRocks plan to fruition 2) Work and attend more college 3) Work and focus on my career - no more school. I'm having a hard time giving up on my dream and just continuing my career. I think it's total bullshit that four (4) major labels are controlling what we listen to in the United States. Why is that? It doesn't have to be any longer. Digital Entertainment is the future - PERIOD! CD's will be soon be gone just like Beta Max and VHS. The playing field is opening up and four (4) major labels will no longer be able to control the majority of the market. It's much cheaper and easier to produce an album digitally. With Digital Media an Artist can actually create, record, and distribute their music all on their own. No need for a label. Only problem? We need to change the consumers mind set. Consumers need to know that nobody wants to work for free! People have to eat! If musicians don't get paid then music will cease to exist. Think about it. Musicians must have some big ass balls to choose this career full of risk with very few actually being rewarded. The odds are against them. We don't need to have the fans against the bands also. QUIT BEING A DICK, QUIT STEALING MUSIC, AND REALIZE THAT BY STEALING MUSIC - - YOU ARE CAUSING THE NEXT GREAT BAND NOT TO SURVIVE. NO MATTER HOW MUCH EASIER IT IS FOR THEM TO GET THEIR MUSIC HEARD!!! I believe that if we come together, we can change things. We can change the future. Hell, we can help create the future! XYRocks isn't gone. I can't give up when I know I can help change things. Together, we can change things! I will put out shows when I can so subscribe to XYRocks in iTunes and you'll get every new show. Remember, our generations can change things if we come together. X+Y=XY=XYRocks! Peace, Markus.

What's up people? Just wanted to let you know that I haven't given up on the show or anything. I haven't posted a new show in a while because I'm back in college again and my Grandma has been in the hospital. Need to figure out a schedule and get caught up on my school work first. Once I can figure out a schedule, I will be posting regular shows again. Thanks for the understanding. Take care. Peace, Markus

How awesome is that!  XYRocks is being downloaded in 20 different countries - now that's reaching an audience. 

Fans and Artists need to start coming together.  Visit XYRocks on our myspace page also.  Just click the myspace image to the right of the page and it will take you to it.

Leave me some comments.  Let me know about a band you want to hear.  Better yet, write that band and have them send me their songs to XYRocks@gmail.com with consent to play.  I will see about playing their song if I like it.

Peace!
