The return of Pan's People
Posted by Chris @ 9:36 pm
I've just had a thought. What with the recent shake up of the top 40 singles chart rules allowing downloads into the chart without a physical CD release, this means we'll get more and more unsigned acts popping up in the chart, like Koopa
This surely leads to a certain problem for the music TV channels. Unsigned artists typically won't have flashy videos, if a video at all. In the past this wasn't a problem as they didn't get in the charts, so the kids didn't want to watch them. But now they are in the charts, with no video to show, what do the music channels do? I give you the spectacular return of Pan's People. It is the only solution! The kids want to hear the music, so show Pan's People dancing when you have no video, keep the kids happy, keep your viewers, and keep the ad revenue pouring in. With no Pan's People, you have no kids watching, so no viewers and no ad revenue - radio becomes king again!
Video killed the radio star, downloads are killing the video star, what's gonna kill downloads I wonder?

All dance music singles just have scantily clad girls dancing around instead of "real" music videos. Why not just show more of that rather than some old-fashioned birds from the 70s?Riley, just cos your idea of a cool music channel is one that plays videos of Pan's People dancing to Wired for Sound (or similar) doesn't mean everybody everyone else would like it.
I despair... :-P

Some days I think there should be rules for people to have blogs or at least a level of social moderation before posts are made as this post is a prime example.Pan's People indeed, Chris you are just embarassing yourself, step away from the keyboard!!!

In all honesty I wasn't actually suggesting the same Pan's People made a spectacular return, but something like that, a dancing troupe for todays generation. Lets remember I wasn't alive when they were prancing around Top of the Pops either.This comment posted by
