The Long Tail reports on the success some websites in China are having monetizing music. Not through direct CD sales which everyone recognizes is as dead as yesterday’s news, but from other indirect methods including ring tones, and search. I and many others believe there is a model that will work for the artists and [...]
Just love the new media ability to capture stuff quickly and easily. Brilliant audio/video of course not but brilliant never the less. Great capture of some of the presence factor of iconic band.

I used to love reading comic books when I was younger, haven’t been doing much of that lately. Found a good one today-satirical comic on one of the head dinosaurs of a big record conglomerate. Have a good laugh and wave goodbye to the old guard.

When I was a kid the Village Voice was still a pay for weekly and a must have for the NY entertainment listings. Would always get to Christgau’s column after [...]
