Digital Music Forum West: Highlights

Ed Note: I know Digital Music Forum West was two weeks ago. I make up for the tardiness with a whole lot of words, tediousness and shameless gushing.
On Thursday, Oct. 3, I attended the second and final day of the Digital Music Forum West. On the following Friday, when I returned to […]

The “Moment” in Music

Ed Note: I straight jacked this post from my homie and one-time music junkie mentor Shawn, a.k.a. Dimples McGillicuddy, blog: The Reazon. Because I like it, and you should too. Plus, I one upped him by including a stream of the recording below. Word.

The Future of the Music Industry; A Dozen (+1) Companies Leading the Charge

Part 2 of a 3 part series
In what was undoutedly *ahem*, an epic novel of blog post in part 1, I argued *ahem* without a shred of a doubt the inevitability of an ad-rev supported future music industry. The great thing about postulating so far into the future is that it would take […]
