I would like to start the GOOD Magazine equivalent of a pop music website with both of you. The goal of such a site would be two-fold: To spread awareness about and brilliant pop music and to consider pop music from a global POV. I think the idea of pop as a geographically-restricted (geotargeted is the industry term for it!) commodity is silly and old-fashioned. Why shouldn’t Super Bowl viewers understand that the origins of Madonna’s “L.U.V.” chorus came from a place probably not too far away from the “L.O.V.E.” chorus that Nicola Roberts delivered last year? More than that, if the internet has truly globalized all of us, why should we live in an age when a genuinely brilliant slab of J-Pop can’t be marketed to go Top 10 in English-speaking territories? I think more Top 40 listeners than we are aware of would rather hear a brilliant slab of J-Pop than that terrible LMFAO “Party Rock Anthem” song for the 10,000th time in a day.

However, I am merely on my second cup of coffee; all ideas sound good right now. Although, I think this kind of website would be wonderful at the end of the day.

Yours,

Rohin
