Musicians Realizing They Don't Need
Record Labels To Sell Online 01/26/2004 06:27 PM
Lots of people have realized for quite some time that the recording industry isn't so much the "recording" industry, but rather the "CD distribution" industry. Their entire focus is on how to sell more tangible items that have music on it. That's part of the reason why they've had so much trouble figuring out the whole online music business. There's no tangible "thing" for them to sell, so it doesn't make sense to them. Now, however, it appears that some musicians are beginning to figure this out as well... and, as part of that, realizing they don't really need the record labels if they want to sell music online. Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno are launching a musician's "alliance" that would help musicians sell their music directly online without any record label involvement. It's an interesting idea, but it seems a little short on details at this point. Record labels are waking up to the fact that they need to do something about online music, even if they're not quite sure what that thing is. As such, expect them to do their best to lock up the digital rights to music from musicians as well. This isn't a problem if musicians want to ditch record labels altogether, but the labels are useful for promotional purposes. If the musicians can figure out a way to do that without the traditional record labels, then they're all set.

"I'm not aware of anybody who falls into that equation today. Everybody gets it now." By Chris Nelson, MacNewsWorld (via MyAppleMenu)

Brian Eno's Music for Airports

Brian Eno's Music for Airports 12/02/2003 12:19 AM
It's rare that I recommend music, but I've recently decided that Brian Eno's Music For Airports is some of the best background music for writing. I've owned this particular CD for at least 4 years but have only recently begun to listen to it with any regularity. A couple weeks ago, I popped it into the CD player while hacking on a book chapter and left it on repeat. Since then I haven't even thought of taking it out...

Streamcast CEO Accuses Record Labels Of
Collusion 07/12/2004 04:24 AM
As the recording industry continues their pointless lawsuits to put the fear of litigation into the hearts of file sharers, it turns out that fil e sharing -- especially of music -- is on the upswing. Even worse, Streamcast's CEO is presenting evidence to Congress that the record labels have colluded to create a "blacklist" against any of the file sharing companies, telling other firms not to work with the major file sharing companies or risk problems from within the established industry. This, of course, wouldn't be a surprise, as the industry has been found guilty of such things in the past. Still, considering the type of entertainment-industry backed legislation that's been coming out of Congress these days, they seem mostly interested in investigating how to prop up a dying industry, rather than looking into how that industry is colluding to keep out competition.
