Very cool articles in this month's WIRED magazine on the Music industry...here are the quicklinks:
Radiohead's Thom Yorke talks about the whole name-your-price music experiment which netted the band $3 million - with none of that going to a record label. One real note is that he does not advocates this method for other bands - if you're a new band and try this, you will not make any money. Another interesting point is on the continuing need for the album format (i.e. 12 songs grouped together for a release every 2+ years), versus releasing tracks digitally as they are created. LINK
Talking Head's David Byrne breaks down the various music distribution methods and contracts, and how digital models have changed the game. LINK
