TV and radio — why has it gotten so loud?

The Loudness War



http://www.turnmeup.org/

"Turn Me Up!™ is a non-profit music industry organization campaigning to give artists back the choice to release more dynamic records. To be clear, it's not our goal to discourage loud records; they are, of course, a valid choice for many artists. We simply want to make the choice for a more dynamic record an option for artists."

Uh oh, you may have just ruined my listening experience forever by introducing me to the loudness war!

Now its not only the music that sucks that I need avoid, but the good music that is made bad in unavoidable, unnecessary ways. That sucks.
