an excellent blog for those of you who follow the waning fortunes of the traditional music industry in the face of P2P filesharing while pondering whether there's any way for musicians to make money any more. One of the authors was the co-inventor of MIDI apparently. Anyway...

HTTP://WWW.BURNLOUNGE.COM/BURNURN - as an independent retailer myself - I believe this to be the future of music.

Individuals to purchase their own digital store fronts & lables and artists direct that can sign their music up with Burnlounge to receive compensation from the sale of their music.

In short - they have put the distribution of music in the hands of the people - and guess what - folks have a tendacy to get back to grass roots and promote and distribute music - rather then push the artists for illegal downloads - who is gonna steal money from themselves.

The Long Tail by Chris Anderson tracks the impact of digital sales in a variety of music, including music:

The basic argument here, as I understood it, is that there's more business for niche markets on the web than there ever has been in bricks-and-mortar shops.

seventeen years pass...

Probably the wrong thread for this, but I’m gonna put it here anyway:

If we do a big, loud 25th anniversary for an album - with reissues, tours, etc - it’s OK to just … NOT do a 30th, right? To give it like another 5 years?
