New

I use to laugh a lot about Triple M always playing ‘new music’. You know, AC/DC, Queen, Chuck Berry. Well last night I had a little chuckle to myself as I sat eating an ice cream, listening to Nova play great new music. The song, Kids by MGMT. Great new music. It was released in October, 2008 (when their album was released). As such, it would have been playing about the shop since 2007. When you look at the definition of new, it says:

Having been made or come into being only a short time ago; recent

(Thankyou dictionary.com)

Of course it depends on how liberal you area with this definition. I don’t think that four months is new (if taken purely on release date, not on my assumption of how long it’s been played by MGMT).

Still, I guess Everett Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation is important. I’ve made my own example below of the radio stations running around (I am a bit biased, as you can tell):

So I guess I should clarify this. The real innovators now for music are blogs & my sister (my sisters friends too). This is just my take.
