And WIRED has an interview with founder Derek Sivers about his new ventures. Sivers has lots of interesting, useful ideas about how to market music (and what that really means) in the digital age ... ideas that the major labels have been too busy suing people to spend any time with themselves, some would say.

Among the very excellent quotes in the WIRED article is this gem:

quote:
Wired.com: What is the most broken aspect of the music business?

Sivers: The disconnect between the music, as a final product, and the musician, as a person going through an ongoing creative process.

There are plenty of millionaires who would pay millions to hang a Van Gogh painting on the wall, but hardly one that would have ever had the crazy nut over for dinner. I feel like the big companies are like that with musicians. They'll say, "We love music! It's all about the music!" -- but if a musician shows up at the door, they call security.



I got something for your mind, your body and your soul.
