Eloquently stating something I’ve been saying for years, Seth Godin brings his take on the current state of affairs in the music business. Here’s a quote:
“The music industry is really focused on the ‘industry’ part and not so much on the ‘music’ part. This is the greatest moment in the history of music if your dream is to distribute as much music as possible to as many people as possible, or if your goal is to make it as easy as possible to become heard as a musician. There’s never been a time like this before. So if your focus is on music, it’s great. If your focus is on the industry part and the limos, the advances, the lawyers, polycarbonate and vinyl, it’s horrible.”
And that’s not even the good part. If you are serious about a career in the arts, go read the rest. In fact, subscribe to his blog.
