@Y_eseulpark I agree, music industries worldwide make local musicians a priority to gain exposure, so Canadians should follow suit #MUS2011

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

Still, it should be an integrated part of the industry, as we should be supporting musicians from our own country foremost. (2/2) #MUS2011

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

I firmly believe that a quota on Canadian music should be a radio stations choice, rather than an enforced ruling (1/2) #MUS2011

@arumbolt026 While I partially agree, I feel like the opinion is more partial to what someone wants from the music itself, quality or emotion. #MUS2011

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

I also believe that this premise is defined solely by genre, as genres like country and rock tend to work better in live settings. #MUS2011

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

Today's pop music is digitized and engineered to the point that live performances rarely hold a candle to the record itself. #MUS2011

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

@s24alb @McguireKjersti Agreed, often modern covers don't try to change a song into something it's not, rather it adapts to the original influences. #MUS2011

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

A song cover or rendition, when done respectfully and with permissions, can promote different sounds via musical appropriation. #MUS2011

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

"Cultural Theft" should not be dismissed as merely "Schlock" because song covers can express new ideas and can inspire new sounds. #MUS2011

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

@jth214mun @Y_eseulpark It also presented the opportunity for listeners to step back and consider their own feelings and may draw guidance from his words. #MUS2011

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

I feel Ray Charles used a breaking voice to convey raw emotion in an impassioned way, helping listeners relate to his feelings. #MUS2011

@MichaelFoleyNL Websites like SoundCloud provide a medium for creators to hone their craft and establish their musical identity.

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

Advances in music sharing websites like SoundCloud give the average listener access to a diverse community of musical tastes! #MUS2011

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

@aaron_beswick @MeghForsyth Agreed, much of mainstream music is subjectively reminiscent of a fever dream. Intense, confusing and hard to relate to or explain. #MUS2011

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

I feel like locking music behind a premium breeds passivity and piracy for those who don't have easy access to this new music. #MUS2011

[Daniel Tucker @dpktucker]

I feel that music exclusivity deals (Think Tidal for example) perpetuate a false need for exuberant spending to keep up to date. #MUS2011
